Tottenham is taking proactive measures to avoid a repeat of last summer’s Harry Kane transfer saga. They are planning to activate the option to extend Son Heung-min’s contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2025. According to The Telegraph, Tottenham has a clause in Son’s contract that allows them to add another year to his deal. By making this decision, they aim to eliminate any potential uncertainty in the upcoming summers and prevent the risk of losing their captain next year.
During the previous summer transfer window, Tottenham was overshadowed by the uncertainty surrounding Harry Kane’s future, as he expressed his desire to leave for Bayern Munich. If Tottenham had resisted Bayern’s offer and compelled Kane to stay, they would have faced the prospect of losing him on a free transfer when his contract expired at the end of the season.
Son Heung-min has already emerged as Tottenham’s leading scorer this season, notching three goals in just five Premier League appearances. At 31 years old, he has assumed the role of captain following the departure of the previous skipper, Harry Kane.
