Tottenham Hotspur’s talismanic captain, Son Heung-min, has reaffirmed his commitment to the North London club by extending his stay until 2026. The Premier League side activated a one-year extension in the South Korean star’s contract on Tuesday, securing his services for at least one more season beyond his original deal, which was set to expire at the end of the current campaign.
Since joining Spurs in 2015, Son has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent and electrifying forwards. With 169 goals and 90 assists in 431 appearances for the club, the 32-year-old ranks among the league’s top 20 all-time scorers and stands as the most prolific Asian player in the competition’s history.
“It’s an honor to continue wearing the Spurs jersey and leading this incredible group of players,” Son said in a statement. “The support from the fans and the club has been unwavering, and I’m excited for what we can achieve together in the coming years.”
Son’s influence extends beyond his club exploits. As captain of the South Korean national team, he has earned 131 caps and represented his country at three FIFA World Cups (2014, 2018, and 2022), further cementing his status as a global football icon.
Tottenham fans will undoubtedly be delighted by the news, as Son’s leadership and attacking prowess have been crucial to the team’s success. His continued presence provides stability and inspiration for a squad striving to compete at the highest level.
Spurs will look to build on this positive momentum as they prepare to face Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday. With their captain’s future secured, the team has added motivation to push for silverware this season and beyond.
