Son Heung-Min has started the season released. The Tottenham man had an unfortunate arm injury that cut him off in the most important stretch of last season, but that is now behind him. ANDThe South Korean is taking a new step forward and so will his contract.
The one from Chuncheon has signed a commitment until 2023, which he renewed in 2018, but Daniel Levy wants to reward his improvement at this start of the season and give him the category of absolute star. Jose Mourinho has granted it to him on the green and the manager wants to do it on the payroll. According to Football Insider, On the 7th he will raise his salary to 200,000 pounds a week (about € 223,000), which is equivalent to an annual salary of 11,200,000 pounds, almost twelve and a half million euros to change. According to the specialized website Salary Sport, Son had a contract of 7.28 million pounds a year With what he would see his salary increased by more than 35%.
On the field, the South Korean is reaffirming his leadership role with goals and some of the best performances of his career. The striker has already added double digits in the season's scorecard due to a really demanding schedule for Spurs at this start with the League, the League Cup and the Europa League, where they had to play the qualifying phase and have started the phase of groups. The 7 is handling really well in the Premier where he adds eight of the ten goals that he accumulates. His poker against Southampton or how he exploited his partnership with Harry Kane to endorse a 1-6 at United (double and assist that game) have been two of his best afternoons so far this season. He has also shone on tougher afternoons, such as when he scored the winning goal against Burnley at Turf Moor.
The forward will be key to fulfilling Spurs' great dream: lifting a title, something they have not achieved since they beat Chelsea in 07-08 thanks to a goal from Jonathan Woodgate in extra time to lift the League Cup. Two points behind Premier League-leading Liverpool, second in Europa League group J and alive in both domestic cups (the FA Cup has yet to start), Spurs have up to four metal playing options, and much of that goes through the Asian winger's feet.
