Son Heung-min is playing well for Tottenham Hotspur at the moment.

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min is set to sign a new contract worth £152,000 per week.

It has been reported that Tottenham bosses are ready to offer the South Korea international a new contract following his impressive performances this season.

Talks over a new deal will start in the summer, and Son – who can operate as a winger or as a forward – will get a pay-rise on his £110,000-a-week salary, according to the report.

Smart idea from Daniel Levy

It is a great idea from Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to hand Son a new contract.

True, Son put pen to paper on a new contract only in the summer of 2018, but given the performances of the 26-year-old this campaign, it does make sense for Spurs to award him a new deal.

According to WhoScored, Son has made 15 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists in the process.

Awarding Son a new contract is not only going to make the South Korea international very happy, but it will also send a message to the rest of the players in the Tottenham team that they, too, will be rewarded if they play well and will motivate them to do better.
