“Son Heung-min’s physical condition is not serious”
Tottenham Hotspur manager Enze Postecoglou requested Son Heung-min (32), whose contract with the team ends at the end of this season, to remain.
Tottenham will play the 6th round of the 2024-25 English Premier League (EPL) against Manchester United (Man Utd) at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the 30th (Korean time).
Ahead of the Manchester United match, coach Postekoglou requested Son Heung-min to remain at the official press conference held on the 28th.
Coach Postekoglou said, “I am not the final decision-maker regarding player contracts, but I think my opinion is important,” and added, “Considering Son Heung-min’s influence within Tottenham, I want him to stay at the club for a long time.”
At a pre-match press conference for the first match of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League against Karabakh (Azerbaijan), Son Heung-min said, “I haven’t had any conversations (about renewing my contract) with the Tottenham club,” and “I don’t know what will happen in the future.” “I don’t know, but I will give my all for Tottenham as I have done for the past 10 years until my contract remains.”
Son Heung-min, who left Bayer 04 Leverkusen (Germany) in 2015 and wore a Tottenham uniform, served as the team’s star for 10 seasons. After his ‘best friend’ Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich (Germany) last summer, he was appointed captain and is highly trusted by the team and players. However, the contract renewal situation is sluggish.
Son Heung-min signed a contract with Tottenham until June 2025, with less than a year left until the contract expires. If Tottenham uses the contract option of one year, he can stay with the team until June 2026.
Coach Postekoglou also spoke about Son Heung-min’s physical condition, which he was concerned about. Son Heung-min was substituted in the 25th minute of the second half due to discomfort in his right thigh in the match against Karabak.
Coach Postekoglou said, “Son Heung-min’s condition is not serious. Son Heung-min wants to participate in training. “We will decide whether to play against Manchester United after looking at the training situation,” he said, adding, “Son Heung-min has one more day to get into peak physical condition.” He said it was not a serious injury.
