Without SON, Tottenham would have sunk
He was selected as the Premier League’s Team of the Week.
토토사이트 announced the team of Lee Ju on its official website on the 1st (Korea time), after the 30th round of the English Premier League ended. Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min was listed on the list.
Son scored a valuable winning goal in the Luton Town match on the 31st. Tottenham was dragged away by Luton Town’s tight shot in the first three minutes. Since then, Tottenham has launched attacks with Son in the lead. Son Heung-min faced a crucial one-on-one chance in the 19th minute, but suffered the bad luck of his shot hitting both the post.
However, Tottenham balanced by an own goal in the sixth minute of the second half, before Son scored the final goal in the 41st minute of the second half to secure a 2-1 victory. Son received a pass from Brennan Johnson from inside the box and attempted to shoot. The shot hit the crotch of Japanese defender Daiki Hashioka from Luton Town and was sucked into the net.
Son Heung-min was officially named the best player
After the match, Son was officially named the Most Valuable Player, followed by the ‘BBC’s Team of the Week.’ Gareth Crooks, who evaluated it, explained, “Tottenham suffered a lot against Luton Town. No other team has been able to defeat Aston Villa. The only player that has shown steady performance at Tottenham these days is Son Heung-min. Without him, Tottenham would be in trouble.”
In an interview with ‘BBC’ after the match, Son said, “It is important for us to get three points, but for that we needed to go through the game earlier.” He also said about today’s mistakes in the game, “I was really frustrated. There were good passes, but I wasn’t lucky today. But I feel happy that I brought my team three points.”
He was also evaluated as an expert on winning goals. The U.K.’s Sky Sports emphasized Son’s winning goal against Luton Town. The media said, “He has scored more than 15 goals three times in the past four seasons, and five of his 15 goals have been the final goals this season. No player in the Premier League has scored more winning goals than anyone else.”
The other players who made up the offensive were Luis Diaz (Riverpool) and Ivan Toney (Brentford). Diaz scored a valuable equalizer against Brighton & Hove Albion, which greatly contributed to his team’s 2-1 victory. Toney assisted with the winning goal in stoppage time in the second half of the match against Manchester United to lead his team to the victory.
In addition to this, Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool), Anthony Gordon, and Harvey Barnes (Newcastle United) played significant roles, while the backline consisted of Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), William Saliba, and Gabriel Magalang (Arsnal). Andre Onana (Manchester United) was chosen as the goalkeeper.
Son Heung-min is getting closer to renewing his contract with Tottenham.
Son Heung-min, who has shown such an outstanding performance, is approaching to renew his contract with Tottenham. Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano, who is well-versed in the news on the transfer market, said on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that Tottenham Hotspur will smoothly conclude the contract negotiations to secure Son’s future. Spurs News in the U.K., which delivered Romano’s message, explained that Son will leave his future to Tottenham.
Tottenham has recently focused on negotiating a contract with Son. Son’s contract with Tottenham ends next summer. If he does not sign a contract as soon as possible, it is an important time to break up with the captain.
Son Heung-min is Tottenham’s iconic player. Since leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen to join Tottenham in 2015, he has played consistently. He has 160 goals and 88 assists in 399 Tottenham games so far.
In addition, British media outlet HITC reported, “Tottenham will give everything to renew contract with captain Son Heung-min. Son’s contract with Tottenham expires in 2025. One of Tottenham’s biggest challenges is to find key players in their team. Son has 300 matches to play in the English Premier League, and he has been active even after Kane left for Munich. He is considered the best leader in his team along with James Maddison and Christian Romero.”
Recently, Son has also been linked to Saudi Arabia’s Al Itihad. Local media have reported on Son’s possible departure to Saudi Arabia all at once since last summer. The story goes that if Al Itihad were to sell Homariu, his current striker, he would have picked Son as his replacement. Saudi Arabian clubs have increased their interest in Europe’s top players since last summer. With the massive oil money, they have lured some players to recruit. Starting with Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al Nasr in December 2022, Karim Benzema, Neymar, N’Golo Kante, and Fabinho headed to Saudi Arabia all at once.
Son’s direction was clear. He is renewing his contract with Tottenham.
Rumors have it that Son is targeting Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) this summer. In addition, Son Heung-min is also on the radar of Saudi Arabian clubs.
Unlike other players, however, Son’s direction was clear. He renewed his contract with Tottenham. British media outlet Give Me Sports also admitted the deal. “Tottenham and Son will have a very important time to decide their future this summer, 12 months before their contract expires,” the media said. “Son and Tottenham began discussing renewal last year. Considering his age, there is a possibility that he will be offered another long-term contract. Tottenham hopes that Son will remain with the team for a long time to come.”
