Tottenham set to exercise clause in Son Heung-min's contract - report

As has been expected for some time, Tottenham Hotspur seem set to confirm the activation of a clause on Son Heung-min's contract that will extend his stay another year.

The team option on Son's deal would take it from the summer of 2025 to the summer of 2026, and move the South Korean's generational spell at the North London club into a second decade.

Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and went on to become the top Asian goalscorer in both Premier League and Champions League history, as well as the club's all-time assists leader and a top-5 all-time goalscorer for the side.

And following months of reports from a multitude of sources suggesting that the one-year extension will be triggered, The Telegraph published on Monday that it is indeed set to happen imminently.
