Son Heung-min has extended his stay at Tottenham as the South Korean has penned a new deal to stay at the club until 2023.
The former Bayer Leverkusen man has become one of the most important players for our side and this move is another important measure from the management as we look to keep hold of the best players at Tottenham.

Son did not have a great World Cup as South Korea were knocked out in the group stages but he did score for the national side when they defeated Germany.
While the South Korean has scored 47 goals in 140 appearances, the good news, for now, is that he will join the side for the pre-season tour of the US before playing in the opening game of the Premier League season against Newcastle United.
Son will then look to pick up a gold medal in the Asian Games as he travels to Indonesia. The fans were quick to celebrate the deal on Twitter but many questioned why Mauricio Pochettino was not available during the signing.
