Since joining Tottenham last season, Son has perhaps had his worst season, struggling to make much of an impact in the final third.
The South Korean forward wasn’t the only one who struggled under Antonio Conte, though, and Ange Postecoglou has already shown him that he is important to his plans by giving the forward the captaincy.
The 30-year-old has had a strong start to the season, scoring three goals in Tottenham’s 5-2 victory over Burnley while playing the position of nine.
Son’s current deal with Tottenham expires in 2025 (Tranfermarkt), and it has recently been claimed that Saudi Pro League clubs are planning a second attempt to capture the superstar for the following season after their first attempt failed (talkSPORT).
Gold anticipates that Daniel Levy and company will act quickly to try to sign the forward to a new contract.
Could Heung-min Son get a new Spurs contract soon?
The journalist stated on his YouTube channel that he would be “stunned” if Son [Heung-min] wasn’t given a new contract any time soon. He only has a few years left, and since he is a [CAA] Base player, they will take care of him.
“And he’s the captain of the club, I think that would be a great move and yes he’s in his thirties but I would say another year or two on the end of that, why not?
“Terrific advert for the football club, the kind of person he is, the kind of player he is and just how just good a human being he is. If you’re going to be really cynical, I’m sure Sonny brings in so much money for Spurs because of just the huge kind of reputation he has across the world but obviously of course across Asia.
“I’m sure the money he brings in makes a new contract a no-brainer. Whether he wants to sign it is another thing. I think he’s very happy right now and if you’re going to get him to commit, now is probably the time.”
