Mou's priority: renew Son

Tottenham have closed a very satisfactory transfer market, with seven new faces in their squad, but the challenge they face this season in the offices is another. For José Mourinho, the priority is clear: to renew Son Heung-Min. The Korean footballer has been essential in the Portuguese's plans since his arrival at Spurs (18 goals in total, eight this season), in addition to being an economic value for the club in a strategic market such as Asia.

Next summer, Son will have two years left on his contract with Tottenham, as reported by the Daily Mail, but the club does not want to wait any longer. Daniel Levy has an unwritten rule that he must not allow footballers to enter his last two years of contract with the possibility of losing them for free. The clearest example, that of Eriksen: he was allowed to enter even his last 12 months without renewing and they were forced to sell him to Inter Milan for less than its real value.

Son is in the perfect moment of his sports career and his salary, of about 160,000 euros a week, will be increased considerably to cement his position in the workforce. The Korean is just below Tottenham's top two earners: Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele, both of whom exceed € 200,000 a week.

Apart from Son's situation, at Tottenham they also look to two other players whose contracts do end in less than a year. These are the cases of Aurier and Lamela, with whom an extension will also be negotiated, but they are not as essential in Mourinho's team as the Korean.
