Son’s impending new deal shows once more Tottenham can keep their top talent

Heung-min Son is set for a bumper new contract with Tottenham before the start of next season, according to the Daily Mail.

Son only signed a new five-year deal in July but his growing importance to the Spurs cause is reportedly set to be reflected by a pay rise.

Son opened the scoring as Spurs swept Borussia Dortmund aside on Wednesday night and has filled in admirably in the absence of Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

The South Korea captain reportedly earns £110,000 per week at present but that figure will be boosted to around the £150,000 weekly salary that Dele Alli gets.

With shrewd businessman Daniel Levy unwilling and unable to stretch to the monumental salaries offered by the Manchester club and Chelsea, there has always been a fear that Tottenham will be unable to keep their top talent – especially with a new stadium to pay for.

But with Son set to commit his future once more, alongside recent deals for Kane and Alli, Tottenham just keep on sweeping aside the criticisms.

They have now shown they can compete on the European stage and have muscled their way into a title race that many thought would just be between Manchester City and Liverpool.

They just keep on swatting away the doubters and Son’s impending new deal is further evidence.
