With Tottenham's official position not announced, it is highly likely that a one-year extension option will be activated.

It was the Turkiye report that recently added fuel to the rumor of Son Heung-min's transfer.

Local media reported that Galatasaray, a prestigious Turkiye player, is seeking to recruit Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min's interview with Galatasaray, who praised Galatasaray, was even featured in the article that he is aiming for the transfer market in January or summer next year.

In the British media, the possibility of Son Heung-min sharing a meal with his teammate Lee Kang-in was also mentioned.

The period promised by Son Heung-min and Tottenham is until June next year!

There are only rumors of a transfer amid the "silent silence" of the club, which has no official position.

Son Heung-min changed into a Tottenham uniform in 2015 and played more than 400 games.

Since last season, he has established himself as Tottenham's "living legend" by leading the team in captain's armband, but it is hard to deny that he has entered the twilight of his 32-year-old football life this year.

This is one of the reasons why Tottenham hesitates despite the controversy over neglecting Son Heung-min, who has devoted himself.

Analysts say Tottenham will choose to extend only one year instead of signing a new contract with Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, who showed extraordinary affection for his team, is also not expected to leave London easily.

[Son Heung-min / Tottenham striker/captain (last August): I can only think of one thing in my mind. I want to win, I want the trophy. It's not right to be called the 'Legend of Tottenham' right now, and I want to win.]

However, even if the contract is extended by a year, attention will be paid to Son Heung-min's next move, which peaked and rose to the world class.
