English Premier League: Spurs captain Son Heung-min to extend stay until at least 2026
The 32-year-old’s current deal was due to expire at the end of this season, but he will remain until the end of the following campaign
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min will remain at the club until 2026 at least after the Premier League club activated a one-year extension in his contract on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old, who joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, has scored 169 goals and provided 90 assists in 431 appearances for the club.
His current deal was due to expire at the end of this season, but he will remain in North London until the end of the following campaign.
“We are delighted to announce that we have exercised the option to extend Heung-min Son’s contract, which will now run until the summer of 2026,” a Tottenham statement read.
“Sonny has become a global star during his time with us and a modern-day great for Tottenham Hotspur.”
Son, who has scored five goals and provided six assists in 17 Premier League outings this term, is 11th on Tottenham’s all-time appearance list. Only Harry Kane, Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Smith and Martin Chivers have registered more goals for the club.
