The South Korean’s current contract with the Lilywhites expires at the end of June (2025) and there are some raising tensions among the fans about his long-term future with the club.
Ahead of Spurs’ 2024/25 UEFA Europa League opener against FK Qarabag, Son was asked if he’s had any talks with the club’s management on an extension and he replied: “We haven’t talked about anything yet.

“As I say, I am fully focused on this year and just want to win something that everybody at the club – the players, all around – deserves. That’s what I’m working for.

The 32-year-old forward has played the entire 90 minutes in all five of Tottenham’s Premier League matches at the start of the 2024/25 campaign and played an important role in ensuring their two wins so far.

Despite his age, Son is showing no signs of weariness or sloppiness in his game. He enjoyed a superb individual campaign in the 2023/24 season, scoring 17 goals and providing ten assists in 35 Premier League games and was hailed as a “brilliant footballer” by Ange Postecoglou after Spurs’ 2-1 win over Luton Town last season. But with time ticking towards the expiry of his contract, it remains to be seen if the club gives the experienced forward a new deal.
