Son signs five-year Tottenham extension

Son Heung-min has been rewarded for his growing importance at Tottenham with a new five-year contract.

The South Korea international, who joined from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, has pledged his future to the London club until the end of the 2022-23 season.

An international since 2010, Son scored twice for South Korea at the recent World Cup in Russia, opening his account in a 2-1 loss to Mexico in Group F.

The second came in stoppage time of a famous 2-0 victory over Germany, which confirmed the reigning champions' shock early exit from the tournament.

Son joins Kane and Pochettino in agreeing fresh terms at Spurs since last season. Pochettino signed a five-year contract in May, while Kane's new six-year deal was confirmed last month.
