Tottenham captain SON leads season's watershed victory ahead of renewal of contract

A very important match. Tottenham fans are paying attention to Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham).
Tottenham will play in the 28th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (PL) against Aston Villa at 10 p.m. on the 10th. This match is likely to be a watershed moment in the competition for the fourth place in the PL. Tottenham, who hopes to return to the European stage in fourth place, desperately needs a victory.

Tottenham is currently five points behind Aston Villa FC (55 points, 17 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses), which has 50 points (15 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses), one less match. If Tottenham wins in the face-to-face match, it can narrow the gap to two points. In contrast, if Tottenham loses, it has up to eight points, which in fact makes it difficult to compete for fourth place.

What is ominous about this is that Tottenham has been weak against Aston Villa recently. It has been three consecutive losses in recent league games alone. Even under manager Enzi Postecoglou, he failed to overcome his dominance after losing to Aston Villa in the first half. Just in time, Aston Villa have won three consecutive league games, and the atmosphere is good.

Fortunately, Aston Villa played in the Europa Conference League with Ajax. As he is a formidable opponent, he used a large number of key members, but the 0-0 draw put a brake on the good trend. Tottenham is in a situation where they can play with the best of their abilities except for Hishalisson.

Whatever happens, Son needs to play well in the game. Son has been flying high this season with 13 goals and six assists in the league. In particular, his main position is not only as a left winger but also as a central striker depending on circumstances, serving as the team's master key. In the match against Villa, he is highly likely to be selected as a one-top starter due to Hishalisson's injury.

"Son Heung-min, who has already entered his 10th year of Tottenham, took over as captain ahead of this season. Newly appointed manager Enzi Postecoglou took over the captain's armband for Hugo Lloris and formed a captain's squad with Son Heung-min, James Madison and Christian Romero. Son Heung-min is the first non-European player to become captain since Tottenham was founded in 1882.

The contract between Son Heung-min and Tottenham, which is proving both skills and leadership, expires in June 2025. There is only one year left after this season. However, it is known that there are actually two years left as the club includes an option to extend the contract by one year. Tottenham is quickly seeking to renew the contract to block the Saudi Arabian league's interest in Son.

Tottenham Hotspur F.C. is determined to keep Son in check by offering him better treatment than the 190,000 pounds he is receiving a week. Son seems to be an exception to Daniel Levy, the chairman of the club who is famous for saving money.

In fact, Tottenham could send Son Heung-min, who was born in 1992, and pocket a huge amount of money for his transfer. In fact, when Son Heung-min suffered a hernia and orbital fracture during the last season, there were voices calling for him to be disposed of when the opportunity arises. In addition, Saudi champion RITHAD offered a whopping 65 million dollars in transfer fee last summer, suggesting the possibility of breaking up with Son.

However, Tottenham has no intention of letting Son go. Local media outlets including Football Insider, HITC, and The Athletic have already reported that Tottenham and Son are negotiating smoothly behind the scenes. They have not set up a negotiating table in earnest yet, but both sides are confident of signing a contract.

With rumors of a renewal of his contract, Son Heung-min is set to have an important match in his team. Can he really show great performance against Villa and give his team an important victory? If Son scored an attacking point in this situation and ended the opponent's losing streak in the away game against Villa, he will prove his worth in the team once again.
