The mood is quite different from a few days ago. Tottenham Hotspur and Son Heung-min (31) are close to renewing their contract.
British media “Football Insider” quoted Keith Wynes, who served as Everton CEO in the past, on the 28th (local time), predicting that Tottenham will sign a two-year contract with Son Heung-min, which includes a weekly increase.
“I think Tottenham will raise Son’s weekly salary. It won’t be too much,” Wynes said through the media. “He is still worth 100 million pounds (about 174.7 billion won) even if he doesn’t do it as much as he used to,” explaining why Tottenham has to keep Son.
Rumors of Tottenham’s release of Son Heung-min were a “hot potato” that heated up the early days of the summer transfer market. Initially, Football Insider predicted that Tottenham is likely to earn a lot of transfer fees by invoking the option of extending the contract with Son Heung-min and selling it afterward.
Soccer fans were also angry at the hospitality of “legendary” who devoted more than 10 years. It is not incomprehensible to knock on the calculator due to the renewal of a player in his 30s, but at least the opinion that he should not do it to Son Heung-min was dominant.
Conscious of public opinion, Tottenham eventually changed its position. According to a report by British media Spursweb on Thursday, Tottenham is highly likely to offer Son a long-term contract, and option activation is found to be a means of negotiation.
This will give fans a breather. Son Heung-min, who left Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2015 and joined Tottenham Hotspur, is a legend in name and reality as he scored 162 goals and 48 assists in 408 games. In addition, he took over the captain’s armband last summer, adding burdens to his shoulders.
Concerns over an “aging curve” have been washed away with 17 goals and 10 assists last season. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou also gave a thumbs-up to his performance, saying, “Son Heung-min is an excellent leader who leads by example in training,” adding, “I’m happy to be with him.” 노래방알바
