The South Korean international is in his seventh season with Tottenham and is sixth on the club’s all-time scoring list. Despite the fact that Son’s contract expires in 2025, 90min understands that Tottenham is determined to give him an extension.
According to sources, an agreement is expected to be reached by Christmas, while negotiations might be completed in a matter of weeks.

Prior to the start of the Premier League season, Ange Postecoglou appointed Son as the club’s new captain in place of Hugo Lloris.
Tottenham wanted to see how Postecoglou and Son got along before considering a new contract, and the pair have struck up a wonderful relationship, allowing negotiations to move fast.

Postecoglou shared his appreciation for Son at a fan forum event on Tuesday night.
“Everyone knows he’s a fantastic footballer but he’s just a brilliant human being. For any sort of manager, when you’re looking for leaders in a group and they’re all different types, firstly what kind of person are they is really important when setting up a team.” Postecoglou said.JAMB Result
“Even from afar, even before I joined the club, obviously I’ve known Sonny for a long time because being from that part of the world myself and working in Asia and the exposure I had to his standing in the community there, you can tell he was respected. Whether it was teammates or opponents, everyone spoke really highly of him. I think he was the perfect embodiment.
“I think Sonny and [new vice-captains] James Maddison and Cuti Romero, they’ve embraced that leadership role. All the boys, irrespective of whether they’ve been here two months or ten years, they feel really comfortable in there. That’s because of the people who are the leaders, not necessarily the players but the people.”
