Tottenham forward, Heung-Min Son, has made a switch off the field in what could represent a boost to Jose Mourinho and Spurs’ hopes of tying the South Korean down to a new contract.

According to Talksport, Son has decided to switch management agencies to the same company who represents Mourinho. CAA Base, an American based company, have a wealth of high-profile footballers on their books.

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez, and fellow Spurs midfielder, Dele Alli.

Son’s decision comes amid rumours that the club want to offer him a new contract to tie down one of the Premier League’s top attacking talents. The forward is top of the scoring charts this season after a fine start alongside Harry Kane up front for Spurs.#

The 28-year-old currently has time to run on his contract, which is said to earn him around £140k-a-week, according to Spotrac.

News of the change in agents will, no doubt, be a boost for Daniel Levy and co.

From a simplistic view looking in, this will surely make any sort of negotiations with Son much easier.

Daniel Levy should already have the right contacts with CAA given his capture of Jose Mourinho, so it should be pretty plain sailing for the club in terms of getting Son tied down.

In terms of the deal being deserved, it’s hard to argue. He is arguably as important to Tottenham at the moment as Harry Kane.

Any player on that level needs securing for as long as possible.
