Ange, who is currently under immense pressure, has previously made a bold statement about winning trophies in his second season, with him expressing his determination to double down on that claim. However, with recent results and inconsistencies, it seems far from achievable. Amidst these struggles, Tottenham confirmed they have triggered a one-year extension to Heung-min Son’s contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2026. Now, Ange Postecoglou has shared his thoughts on the matter.
Heung-Min Son joined Tottenham in August 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen for £22m. Over the course of his time at the club, he has made 431 appearances and scored 169 goals, making him Tottenham’s fourth-highest goalscorer of all time. Tottenham Hotspur confirmed that they activated the extension clause in Son’s contract, ensuring the Spurs captain will remain at the club for his 11th season.
Ange Postecoglou wants Sonny to finish the story with silverware
While many debate whether Son should stay at Tottenham or move on to seek glory with another club, only Tottenham fans truly understand the immense contributions he has made to the club. We would much prefer to see the South Korean forward leave with a trophy in hand, cementing his legacy at Spurs.
Before the extension was triggered, Son had just six months remaining on his contract, allowing him the option to negotiate a move to non-English clubs. Moving on from a player like Heung-min Son is no easy task. Beyond his immense quality, having spent nearly a decade at Tottenham, Son and the club have become inseparable.
Although his departure has now been delayed until 2026, saying goodbye to Son will be an emotional moment for Spurs. Despite this, Tottenham are planning for the future. Postecoglou has responded to Son’s contract extension and outlined a key objective moving forward, aiming to ensure that the forward finishes his career at the club with silverware.
Speaking before Tottenham’s Carabao Cup semi-final, the Australian expressed his view
“The main ambition is to make sure he finishes his career here with some silverware.”
Son has been an exemplary servant to the club and despite his recent regression in form, is already a Tottenham legend. The only regret is that his performances in a white shirt have not yielded the silverware they deserve. Hopefully, we have it in us to give him a last hurrah, starting with the Carabao Cup semi-final later tonight against Liverpool.

As fans brace for what could be the final year of Son’s time at Tottenham, we should be grateful for the privilege of witnessing this living legend grace the pitch for one more season like Luka Modric and Real Madrid’s situation.
