Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou (58) gave a seasoned answer to a question about Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham)’s renewal.
Asked about Son’s renewal of his contract at the right time, Postecoglou said at a press conference for two games of the Coupang Play Series between Tottenham and Bayern Munich on Tuesday. “We need a player who can be respected by young players.” In other words, veteran players like Son need to be present.
Tottenham will play a preseason game against Munich at 8 p.m. on the 3rd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. A press conference was held a day earlier, and Postecoglou could not help but ask questions about Son Heung-min’s renewal of the “hot issue.”
The contract between Son and Tottenham ends in June 2025. In addition, an option to extend the contract for one year can be added.
There was a report by The Athletic last month that Tottenham would take advantage of the one-year extension option.
However, there is no clear news regarding the renewal of the contract yet. 메이저사이트
Since it is a third party position, Postecoglou cannot accurately predict the timing and duration of Son Heung-min’s renewal, but he expressed positive nuance about the renewal, saying Son Heung-min’s presence is great within the team.
“We have many young players. We need players who can play senior roles in order for them to continuously help them grow and develop them stably,” Postecoglou said. “Ben Davis and Son Heung-min are the same. They will be a great help and model. They will serve as leaders (to lead younger players).”
There were once rumors of a “transfer” when there was no news of the renewal between Son Heung-min and Tottenham, but they all seem to be ending with happening.
First of all, Son Heung-min is focusing on the present.
Son Heung-min said, “Kim Min-jae is a defender that I really like. He has many strong points. I think I will have a new experience as I always played for the same team. I look forward to the upcoming match. Both Munich and our players will have fun without getting hurt.”
Prior to the game on the 2nd, Son Heung-min was paired with Archie Gray (18), a midfielder of the “first recruitment” this summer.
Son has already finished preheating his toes. He scored two goals in the first half alone in a match against Team K League. Attention is focusing on how Kim Min-jae will defend Son.
