Tottenham Hotspur will trigger a one-year option on Son Heung-min’s contract to commit his future to the club beyond the current season.
The Spurs and South Korea captain signed his final contract in 2021 which expires in seven months and it is understood his club holds the power to extend it for a further year.
The Spurs just need to inform Son that they have triggered his option and Telegraph sport understands that they fully intend to do so.
It means Son will begin a second decade at the club after joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 in a deal worth £22million, which was considered one of Spurs’ finest achievements in the transfer market of the modern era.
Ange Postecoglou named the 32-year-old Spurs captain following the departure of Hugo Lloris, having played an important role in the club’s emergence as Champions League regulars during his nine-year spell and half at the club.
The striker has reached double figures in goals in all but his first season at the club, with a total of 123 goals in the Premier League, making him the third highest scorer currently playing in the competition. Only Mohamed Salah (164) and Jamie Vardy (140) have scored more.
Son was asked about his contract earlier this season and insisted he was focused on ending Spurs’ trophy drought, which dates back to 2008, rather than considering a new deal.
At the club, Son has reached the Champions League and EFL Cup finals but is yet to win a trophy.
“I’m fully focused on this year and I just want to win something that everyone at the club – the players all around – deserves,” he said. “This is what I work for.
“In the future, you never know what will happen, but I will give everything for this club because it has been almost 10 years and I give everything.
“I still have a contract with the club, which is very important and I just want to give everything until my contract. [expires].”
Spurs sit seventh in the Premier League, with 16 points, nine behind leaders Liverpool, but just two points off fourth place.
Postecoglou’s side are also well placed in the 36-team Europa League table, where they sit second on goal difference after three wins from three, and have reached the EFL quarter-finals, with a home match against Manchester United scheduled for next month. .
