According to exclusive information from South Korean journalist Han June, Son Heung-min decided to stay in Tottenham in the new season, and the possibility of renewal was not ruled out.

According to TBR Football on July 3, Los Angeles FC has regarded Son Heung-min as an ideal candidate to fill the designated player position after Giroud's departure, and they are negotiating with Tottenham on a potential transfer for the South Korean captain.

However, although Los Angeles FC is interested in Son Heung-min, the possibility of his summer transfer is still small, and Tottenham has left Son Heung-min's future to him. Son Heung-min is expected to return to Tottenham next week and meet with Frank, which will help finalize how Son Heung-min and the club plan the final year of his contract.

reporter Han June learned that Son Heung-min has decided to continue to stay in Tottenham in the 2025/26 season, and the club has also understood this. Frank also believes that Son Heung-min is a key figure in Tottenham's opening a new era, which makes him more likely to stay in the team.

Tottenham's transfer dynamics can also further understand Son Heung-min's possible decision. The club had previously shown strong interest in Eze, Mbemo and Semeno, but did not make a formal offer in the end, mainly because they were full of confidence in keeping Son Heung-min.

Although the transfer window will be open until August 31, the possibility of Son Heung-min leaving the team in the summer window seems to be very small. Unless unexpected progress occurs, Son Heung-min will pursue his long-term dream in the last year of his contract and strive for the Champions League again.

If Tottenham struggles in the Champions League stage, or Son Heung-min is marginalized in Frank's team, the possibility of his transfer to the United States or Saudi Arabia in the winter window may emerge again. However, if he stays healthy and adapts well to Frank's tactical philosophy, it might prompt the club to offer him a new contract in December. It is still uncertain whether Son Heung-min will accept such a offer, but his status in the first half of the season will likely determine the direction of negotiations, and the possibility of renewal cannot be completely ruled out.
