[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = Son Heung-min seems to be not currently discussing the renewal of the contract with Tottenham. Still, coach Jose Mourinho was confident in Son Heung-min’s renewal of contract.
Tottenham won 2-0 against West Bromwich Albion (WBA) in the 22nd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 7th at 9pm KST. This resulted in Tottenham’s 3 consecutive losses, and 3 points added to rise to 7th place.
The WBA match was very important to Son Heung-min and Tottenham. The trend of losing 3 straights had to be cut off, and there was a possibility of a fall in the middle of the ranks in case of defeat. Son Heung-min, who couldn’t score in the previous five games, was now the time to score a goal.
Son Heung-min, who was on a business trip, caught both rabbits. Son Heung-min succeeded in scoring in a counterattack situation in the second half of the 12th minute, leading 1-0. Lucas Moura cleared the defenders and passed the pass to Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min, who had a perfect chance, did not miss the opportunity with a clean shot. With the 13th goal in the league, Son Heung-min placed a tie for second in scoring with Dominic Calvert Lewin and Harry Kane.
After the game, coach Mourinho mentioned Son Heung-min’s renewal of contract through’Evening Standard’ in England. Tottenham pushed for a renewal with Son Heung-min after the transfer market ended last summer. However, due to the prolonged Corona 19, financial uncertainties have stopped discussing the renewal of the contract. There are no reports that Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s renewal negotiations have begun again.
Accordingly, director Mourinho said, “Son Heung-min’s renewal of contract is not a problem. There are still two to three years of contracts left. I believe it is right to wait for the time now. I don’t think it’s the right time for players and clubs to discuss contracts in a situation where many people lose their jobs and are struggling with Corona 19. If good news comes back to the world, I believe that Son Heung-min and the club will be able to conclude easily.” He expressed his confidence in Son Heung-min’s renewal of the contract.
Son Heung-min signed with Tottenham until the 2022-23 season. Tottenham wants to renew his contract with Son Heung-min by 2025, at least by 2026, and is expected to offer the highest contract terms in the team, comparable to Harry Kane.
