Son Heung-min signs bumper new Tottenham contract until 2025 in huge boost amid Harry Kane’s Man City transfer
SON HEUNG-MIN has signed a bumper new contract at Tottenham in a huge boost for the club with Harry Kane set to leave.
Spurs are preparing to lose Kane, 27, this summer with Manchester City believed to be preparing a £160million deal.
But Nuno Espirito Santo and Co have been buoyed by the news Son has extended his contract.
The South Korea star, 29, will now remain at the club until the end of the 2024-25 season.
A Tottenham statement read: “We are delighted to announce that Heung-Min Son has signed a new four-year contract with the club, which will run until 2025.”
On signing the deal, Son said: ““It was already a big honour to play here for six years.
“The club have showed me massive, massive respect and obviously I’m very happy to be here.
“It’s like home, especially with the fans, the players, the staff.
“There was no decision. It was easy.
“I’m so happy to be here and will be so glad to see the fans again soon.”
‘NEW CHAPTER’
Managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, added: “We are pleased to have agreed a new long-term contract with Heung-Min Son as we move towards the start of a new season .
“[It’s] a new chapter for the club with Nuno Espirito Santo.
“Everyone can see the real positive impact he has on the club, both on and off the field.
