Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have swooned over a contract claim regarding Heung-min Son which recently emerged.
According to a recent report by Sky Sports, Jose Mourinho is supposedly ‘confident’ that the club and the player can come to a contract agreement ‘in time for a new deal to be reached’.
That is due to the fact that the Portuguese manager wants the South Korean attacker to become “part of the furniture” at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This follows reports from earlier in the past week which emerged in the Daily Mail that agreeing a new deal for Son was one of Tottenham’s current priorities.
Mourinho went on to explain: “I believe that he would like to commit his future to the club for more time.”
This claim was shared to Spurs fans on social media by Hotspur Related and it had lots of them swooning.
So, what did these Spurs fans think of the claim regarding Heung-min Son’s contract?

Its just the final figure. Levy is working on it. Jose knows how to use the press to his advantage.

So far this season, Son has been in stellar form for the north London club as he has bagged seven goals and provided two assists in five Premier League matches (per WhoScored).
His performances in the five outings have earned him an impressive 8.4/10 average rating, making him the second-best performer in Spurs’ squad.
Give him what he wants for a Life-long contract. He deserves it. https://t.co/O82zs7Jnxu
