Why Does Asian player Son Heung-min Want To Stay At Tottenham Hotspur?

Who is not familiar with this one soccer player. Son Heung-min. He has speed that makes the opponent ketar-ketir and has an accurate kick. He is able to penetrate the opponent's defense and score goals alone.

Son Heung-min is the figure of this player who has become a model for Asian footballers who will take part in Europe. Of course, with the series of individual titles he has won, Son deserves to be called that. Unfortunately, Son's individual quality has never been matched by a major title at club level.

Even though he has won individual titles such as Asian Player of the Year. Many say it's because Son Heung-min plays at Tottenham Hotspur. He, who stayed at Tottenham for a long time and did not leave there soon, made the club level title seem like a mere wishful thinking.

Son joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 from Bayern Leverkusen. At that time Spurs redeemed Son with a tag of 30 million euros. When he joined Tottenham, Son's abilities were immediately apparent. Son immediately became a key player at Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 108 goals from 281 caps.

His duet with Harry Kane made Tottenham's attack line very sharp. However, Son has yet to win a major title at club level. Many people doubted his existence at Tottenham. Because if Son wants a Champions League trophy or just the FA Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur is not the right club. Ironically, not to call it strange, when Harry Kane, who was just as prolific, was rumored to be leaving Spurs. The man born in Chuncheon, South Korea has not even finished his contract yet, but he has extended his contract with The Lilywhites until 2025.

Instead of being welcomed, the Tottenham Hotspur legend, Danny Murphy, criticized the contract. Murphy expressed his frustration at Son Heung-min for extending his contract to Tottenham Hotspur so quickly without considering the prospect of leaving.

As quoted by TalksSport, he said Son is a player who has no ambition. Supposedly with the quality he has, Son can anchor to another club that is more capable of giving him a title at club level.

So complete his career as a footballer. But Son has instead stayed at a mediocre club. Even though there are many big clubs and clearly they can give him a title like Bayern Munich until Real Madrid wants him.

However, Son seemed uninterested. So, why is Son Heung-min staying at Tottenham Hotspur? A strong enough reason is that Son Heung-min wants to end his career at Tottenham Hotspur. I don't know the reason, but what is certain is that if a footballer ends his career at one club, it is not impossible that he will become a legend.

He himself has indeed targeted to play for The Lilywhites for a decade. And if you look at his renewed contract until 2025, his wish is likely to come true.

“I could be here for 10 years or more. You never know what will happen in the future. That's what Son Heung-min said
Apart from giving him time which may be enough for a title, staying at Tottenham Hotspur could actually prevent Son from getting a single title at club level throughout his career.

Why? Because we all know that Tottenham have never been able to perform consistently, even though they have been handled by a coach of Antonio Conte's caliber. However, it seems that Son is no longer concerned with major titles at club level. He feels at home with Tottenham Hotspur.

Moreover, the North London club gave Son Heung-min the fullest, including, of course, comfort. Since 2015, Son Heung-min has indeed become the new idol of Tottenham Hotspur fans. For him, Tottenham is like home. And the fans have given great love to Son Heung-min.

Not to mention, the club already completely believes in Son Heung-min. It was proven that his contract, which would expire in 2023, was immediately extended by Tottenham until 2025. “They showed how much they love me. I've played here for six years, but they gave me so much, and I want to give something back. said Son Heung-min.

Even though he has shown his desire to stay at Tottenham for more than 10 years, Son cannot escape the issue of his departure from The Lilywhites. The player, who is now 29 years old, was widely rumored to be leaving Tottenham, if Harry Kane left. Son will lose his partner

But if Kane leaves Spurs, it could actually benefit Son. He will be the top scorer at Tottenham Hotspur. Although his natural position is a winger. That hasn't just happened, the winner of the 2020 Puskas Award has already set a unique record at Tottenham.

He became The Lilywhites' top scorer outside of England and Ireland players. Son has scored a total of 118 goals from his 311 caps with Tottenham in all competitions. Apart from these reasons, Son stayed long enough at Tottenham Hotspur because he got a good financial deal.

Spurs legend Danny Murphy thinks so. Despite what the club did for Son, he stayed because a financial agreement was reached. Even though the amount of salary was not stated, that is an honest reason why Son will stay, even until 2025 or 10 years he will stay at Tottenham.

Son Heung-min is indeed one of the best talents to come out of the womb of the Asian continent. If it is said that he really stays at Tottenham until his retirement, it is possible that Son Heung-min is an Asian player who creates a legacy for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium public. Even though Tottenham were only able to bring it to the Champions League final.
