Son Heung-min has signed a new contract with Tottenham that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2026.

The South Korean international has made 431 appearances and scored 169 goals across all competitions for Spurs since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in summer 2015.

The Tottenham captain's contract was due to expire in June, meaning he could have been lost for free in the summer amid rumoured interest from other big-name clubs in Europe.

"We are delighted to announce that we have exercised the option to extend Heung-Min Son’s contract, which will now run until the summer of 2026," read a statement on the club’s website.

"Having joined the club in August, 2015, Sonny, 32, has become a global star during his time with us and a modern-day great for Tottenham Hotspur."

The 32-year-old has established himself as one of the best forwards in the world, with his 125 Premier League goals placing him in the top 20 on the all-time list.

He shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah in the 2021/22 season and has three times been voted Tottenham’s player of the season.

During a difficult season for Spurs which has been blighted by injuries, Son has recorded just seven goals and six assists in all competitions.

However, his contract extension will provide manager Ange Postecoglou with a welcome boost.

Tottenham have won just one of their last five domestic fixtures and were controversially beaten 2-1 by Newcastle last time out.

Son has also made 131 appearances for South Korea and scored 51 times, helping his country qualify for the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
