Son Heung-min scored 17 Premier League goals last season to help the club finish seventh and qualify for the Europa Conference League
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min has signed a new four-year contract keeping him at the club until 2025.
Son, 29, has scored 107 goals in 280 appearances for the club since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.
He has been capped 93 times by South Korea, scoring 27 goals and appearing at two World Cups.
“There was no decision. It was easy. I’m so happy to be here and will be so glad to see the fans again soon,” he said.
“It was already a big honour to play here for six years. The club have showed me massive, massive respect and obviously I’m very happy to be here.”
Tottenham’s football managing director Fabio Paratici added: “Everyone can see the real positive impact he has on the club, both on and off the field, and we are delighted that he will play a part in what we are trying to achieve in the coming years.”
Son was part of the Tottenham team that reached the club’s first Champions League final in 2019, scoring two goals in their dramatic quarter-final second leg against Manchester City, which saw them progress on away goals.
He scored 22 goals in 51 appearances in all competitions last season, forming a prolific partnership with striker Harry Kane.
The duo combined for 14 league goals in 2020-21 – a Premier League record – with both players named in the Professional Footballers’ Association Team of the Year.
Kane’s Tottenham future is unclear, however, with the England captain having expressed his desire to leave the club earlier this summer amid reports Premier League champions Manchester City are lining up a bid.
The north London club finished seventh in the Premier League to qualify for the inaugural Europa Conference League, though they ended the campaign with head of youth development Ryan Mason in interim charge following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho six days before their Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City in April.
Former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo was appointed Mourinho’s permanent successor on a two-year deal last month, with Mason returning to his role in the club’s academy.

Meet the Man Who Turned Hype Into a Science: Emmy Blaq, Nigeria’s G.O.A.T. of Hype
If you have ever been at a Nigerian event and found yourself on your feet before the main act even stepped on stage, there is a good chance a hype man was responsible. But not just any hype man. Emmy Blaq, born Ikechukwu Emmanuel Chima and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has spent the last few years quietly becoming the most talked-about name in that profession, and the Nigerian press has taken notice. Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation, and Independent Newspaper have all sat down with him, and every conversation leads back to the same thing: this man does not just make noise; he makes moments.
What makes Emmy Blaq different is the journey behind the energy. Before the stages, the collaborations with Waje on her “Waje 2.0” album, DJ Consequence, and DJ Kaywise on the massively streamed “Joor Party Mix” series, he was repairing generators, cutting hair, and sewing clothes in Auchi. His first professional hype gig happened at a local fast food spot called Valchi, and the crowd response that night changed everything. He told The Nation directly: “My passion for entertainment and desire to make people happy led me into the craft.” Punch also captured his bigger mission when he said that hype men deserve more than what they currently earn, a statement that sparked a real conversation across Nigerian entertainment circles.
With over 1.7 million TikTok followers, 23.6 million TikTok likes, a viral “Wife Material” challenge that landed on Pulse Nigeria’s top ten social media moments of 2021, and an international performance at the Cameroon International Music Festival that Cameroonian media described as electrifying, Emmy Blaq is not building toward something. He is already there. The G.O.A.T. of Hype is not a title he gave himself and hoped would stick. It is one the rooms keep confirming every single time he grabs the mic.
