Danny Murphy (47), who has been with Tottenham as a player, thinks Tottenham should be accompanied by "captain" Son Heung-min (32) for a long time.먹튀검증

 Murphy said on the podcast program of "Talk Sports" on the 20th (Korea time), "Son Heung-min is always stable. The standard of honesty," adding, "Son Heung-min is 32 years old. When asked, "Tottenham has decided to extend the contract for another year?" he replied, "For sure, Tottenham will extend the contract for one more year," but said, "I think it can be foolish to think of letting Son Heung-min go after tying him up for another year as an option." A long-term companion could be better for Tottenham. 

Murphy is a former English footballer. He played for Liverpool, Charlton Athletic, Tottenham, and other clubs. During his playing career from 1997 to 2013, he played an important role for Liverpool and Fulham.

Murphy has a history of winning the FA Cup in Liverpool in 2002 and the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League. He also played nine matches for the national team, but did not make a big impact. It was characterized by excellent soccer intelligence and stable play.

After his retirement he became a football expert, working as a commentator for the BBC and talk sports.

The contract between Son and Tottenham ends in June 2025. In addition, an option to extend the contract for one year can be added. There is no news on renewing the contract yet. 

Last August, The Athletic reported last month that Tottenham would take advantage of the one-year extension option. This led to controversy that it was not an "Ace" treatment, and Tottenham was criticized.

This is because the club does not seem willing to treat Son Heung-min, who has devoted himself to Tottenham for nine years. At the same time, Saudi Arabian League players Al Nasr, Al Ahli, and Al Hilal began to send love calls to Son.

Another big transfer rumor recently broke out.

Spanish media Pichahes said on the 12th, "Atletico Madrid is showing interest in Son Heung-min. An informal conversation took place with Son Heung-min's agent. There were rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia, but Son Heung-min wants to remain in Europe." However, it is not a media with good public confidence.

In September last year, Pichahes reported that "Real Madrid is interested in Tottenham's star Son Heung-min and is looking for a contract opportunity while watching Son's situation," but there was no actual contract news.

Atletico Madrid recruited Julián Álvarez to increase their competitiveness in Spain's La Liga and the UEFA Champions League this season, and are looking for a new striker in case Alvaro Morata could leave. Son Heung-min seems to have been spotted.

If Tottenham does not invoke the option of a one-year extension, Atletico Madrid will have the opportunity to sign Son Heung-min for no transfer fee. Entering the last six months ahead of the expiration of his contract in the summer of 2025, Son Heung-min will be free to negotiate with other teams under Boseman's rules starting in January next year. 

In this situation, Murphy believes Tottenham should keep Son Heung-min on a contract for a year or more.

Tottenham reporter Aresdier Gold recently said, "Tottenham knows how important Son Heung-min is to the team. Son, who is in his 30s, is still a great player and a representative player of the team. Son seems to be enjoying his captaincy role as well. The club has one more year of safety, but I think the contract will definitely be made if both sides want."
