Tottenham Hotspur have received a major boost with the confirmation that Son Heung-min will remain at the club for at least another season. The club exercised the option to extend the South Korean star’s contract until the end of the 2025/26 campaign, much to the delight of fans and pundits alike.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson expressed his delight at the news, stating that he was never in doubt that Son would extend his stay in North London.
“I don’t think it was ever in doubt,” Robinson said. “There won’t be many Spurs fans who wake up and are surprised by the news. The relationship he’s got with the club, the supporters, and the club feel about him, he’s one of those players that you can’t imagine playing for any other Premier League team. It’s like Mo Salah and Liverpool. There was never going to be any doubt about him extending his contract. It’s fantastic news but it comes as no surprise – it’s a great boost. I just hope it’s not the only signing the club make in January.”

Robinson emphasized the importance of retaining Son, especially after the departure of Harry Kane last summer. He acknowledged that while Son’s performance this season may not have reached his previous heights, he remains a vital player for the team.
“While the 32-year-old has not been at his very best this season, it is still huge news that he will remain in North London for at least one more season,” Robinson added. “The Lilywhites were devastated when losing Harry Kane last summer, and with Son being one of the other longest-serving players at the club, it would have been a crushing blow to lose him at the end of the season.”
Despite a slightly subdued season by his standards, Son has still made a significant contribution to the team, scoring seven goals and providing six assists in all competitions. He remains a key player for Tottenham and his continued presence will be crucial for the club’s success in the coming seasons.
The news of Son’s contract extension will undoubtedly be welcomed by Tottenham fans. It provides a much-needed boost of confidence and stability at a time when the club is facing challenges both on and off the field.
This positive news comes as Tottenham prepare for a crucial period in their season. They are currently in the midst of a Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool and will be looking to strengthen their squad during the January transfer window.
The club has already made one signing this month, bringing in young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague. However, there is speculation that Tottenham may look to further strengthen their squad in the coming weeks.
The news of Son’s contract extension will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the team’s morale and will provide a much-needed boost ahead of the crucial clash against Liverpool.
As Tottenham look to navigate the challenges of the season and build for the future, the continued presence of Son Heung-min will be invaluable. His leadership, experience, and goal-scoring ability will be crucial assets for the club as they strive to achieve their ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
The club will now turn its attention to the upcoming challenges, including the crucial Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool. With Son committed to the club for the long term, Tottenham will be hoping to build on this positive news and achieve success in the remainder of the season.
