Tottenham to trigger Heung-min Son contract extension

Tottenham will trigger a clause to extend captain Heung-min Son’s contract by a further year.

The Spurs skipper is out of contract at the end of the season but the club has an option to extend his deal by a further 12 months, which they will exercise.

The extension will see Son enter an 11th season with the club, having arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 in a deal worth around £22million.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Son revealed he had not held talks with the club over a longer-term extension but was focused on finally delivering silverware this season.

“We haven’t talked [about] anything yet," the 32-year-old said. "It was very clear for me, I’m very focused for this season. At this age, every second is like a goal.

“Especially this season, we are in a lot of competitions, it feels like I’m taking even more care about this. I’m just fully focused on this situation and this year. I just want to win something that everybody in this club and these players and all around deserves. That’s what I’m working for.

In the future, you never know what’s going to happen, but I will make sure I give everything for this club. It’s almost ten years that I give everything.

“We’ll see what happens. I still have a contract with the club which is the main important thing. I just want to give everything while I have my contract."
