Heung Min Son is an icon at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium given how he has been the highlight of the team for the Lilywhites since moving to N17 in 2015, but his impact has been fading in the ongoing season, which has barely been a shadow of everything that the South Korean has been over the years. The 32-year-old has struggled for goals, and his replication of getting into dangerous places has also gone down over time this season.
Links away from N17
And it’s been a season surrounded by lots of speculations around his future at the club as his contract was initially going to end in the upcoming summer, and Daniel Levy and the chiefs at N17 let things go very deep before taking up the option to tie him up at Hotspur Way for another twelve months. Many Lilywhites supporters rejoiced when they heard the news of the South Korea international’s contract extension.
But it does look like he’d end up leaving when we go into the off-season with multiple Premier League clubs expressing interest in landing the 32-year-old alongside Bayern Munich and high-paying Saudi Pro Clubs. And many expect Daniel Levy to push the button on selling him…
Tottenham want Heung-Min Son to stay?
Although now there are contrary reports emerging from The Times which suggest that the leadership at Tottenham Hotspur wants the 32-year-old to retire at the club as further cement his legacy as a club icon. And Daniel Levy could veto the South Korean’s stay at N17, and one potential way could be offering him a contract that reflects his evolving role in the squad and behind the scenes, potentially transitioning him into a mentor-like figure or a versatile substitute who can still make an impact without the pressure of starting every game.
To make things more appealing, Spurs can end up pushing an incentive-based deal directly reflecting his appearances and goals, which will ensure that it not only rewards Son for his contributions on the pitch but also provides assurances of a future ambassadorial or coaching role within the corridors at Hotspur Way.
