Tottenham Hotspur are now preparing to step up their contract talks with Heung-min Son to extend his stay in north London.
The South Korean forward found the back of the net for the 13th time in the Premier League this season.
Despite Heung-min Son showing no sign of slowing down at the age of 31, his contract is now set to expire next summer.
Heung-min Son contract update
According to transfer guru Graeme Bailey for HITC Football, the Lilywhites are now planning to up their efforts to secure Son’s future.
Discussions are already believed to have taken place over extending the 31-year-old’s contractual stay in N17.
And it is said he is loving life under Ange Postecoglou and would be keen to remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Talks are believed to have been open since the summer and this is now something which is high on Daniel Levy’s to-do list ahead of the summer.
How many goals has Heung-min Son scored
Although the South Korean endured a difficult season last time out under Antonio Conte, he has quickly returned to his best under Postecoglou.
Although he has missed some time due to his participation in the Asian Cup, Son is just five goals off the league’s top scorer, Erling Haaland.
It has been a sensational campaign for Son who has also taken on the responsibility of becoming club captain following Harry Kane’s exit.
Postecoglou has already hailed Son for his ‘outstanding‘ leadership qualities shown since being handed the armband.
Despite turning 32 years of age in the summer, Son really isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
And that will be a huge boost for Postecoglou who will view Son as a key part of his plans for the future.
His finish on the weekend received some high praise from the media and he may need to continue his goalscoring form if Spurs are to qualify for the Champions League.
