“Simon Jordan Shares Intriguing Insight About Heung-min Son”

Tottenham Extend Heung-min Son’s Contract Amid Speculation

In recent weeks, speculation had grown regarding Heung-min Son’s future, with reports suggesting that several clubs were interested in signing the Tottenham captain on a free transfer at the end of the season.

However, Tottenham put those rumors to rest on Tuesday by activating the option to extend the 32-year-old’s contract until 2026.

This move ensures Son remains tied to the club, at least for the foreseeable future.

The extension comes during a challenging period for the forward, who has struggled to find his best form this season.

Many have noted that Son, once a standout performer, appears to be a shadow of his former self.

Simon Jordan Comments on Son’s Form

Football pundit and former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan recently addressed Son’s dip in form.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan speculated that lingering fitness issues could be behind the player’s struggles, referencing surgery the South Korean underwent last season.

“I wonder if he’s fit,” Jordan said. “From what I’ve heard through various channels—not Daniel Levy, by the way—Son had surgery last year.

“When I’ve watched Spurs this season, he’s looked miles off the pace.

He doesn’t resemble the player who once replaced Harry Kane as the team’s leader. Right now, he looks more like a bit-part player.

“It could be that he’s not 100 percent fit, but I’ve also questioned if his time at Tottenham is nearing its end.

The club’s decision to extend his contract suggests otherwise, at least for now.”

Extension Doesn’t Guarantee Son’s Long-Term Future

While Tottenham’s decision to extend Son’s contract secures their position for now, it does not guarantee the forward will remain at the club next season.

The extension appears to be a strategic move to protect the club’s asset, ensuring Son cannot leave on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.

If Spurs are truly committed to keeping him as part of their long-term plans, they would likely offer him a new, longer-term deal in the coming months.

For now, Son’s future at Tottenham remains uncertain, with his performances in the latter half of the season likely to play a key role in determining his fate.
