Son Heung-min is out of contract at Tottenham Hotspur in 2020.
Fast forward eight months and the brilliant South Korean is yet to sign new terms and his form means that Tottenham simply must get his signature as soon as possible.
The 25-year-old has arguably been Spurs’ most impressive player in recent weeks and has now scored in four successive games.
It’s taken a while but Son is now starting to look like something of a bargain, even though £23 million was spent on bringing him in, and it’s imperative that Levy thrashes out a deal.
Son, whose existing deal expires in 2020, has the same length of time remaining on his contract as Toby Alderweireld but it would appear as if signing up the Belgian is a matter of much more urgency when, really, it shouldn’t be.
The Bayer Leverkusen man is gradually developing into a huge player for Pochettino and the club’s hierarchy need to acknowledge his rise in the form of a new deal.
The longer it goes without being offered, the more Son could justifiably feel that he isn’t as appreciated as Alderweireld and this isn’t a player Tottenham want to lose. At 25, he is only going to get better and Levy needs to ensure that his best years are spent in North London.
