What did Spurs fans make of this update involving Son?
He deserves to be on a par with our top earners!
He’s been our most consistently good player over the last 2 seasons at least— It all seems a bit trivial now (@MattyFrench82) November 3, 2020
Does Son deserve a contract that is similar to that of Harry Kane?
Yes
No
True or Not – Its still well deserved.

The report claims that Spurs have made it a priority to extend Son’s contract and talks are now ‘advancing’. Spurs believe that a new contract can be finalised by the end of 2020.
Spurs want the South Korean to be handed a contract which is similar to that of Harry Kane. Son’s current deal runs out in the summer of 2023 (as per Football Insider).
Some other Spurs fans also began talking about this update involving the former Bayer Leverkusen man.

These Spurs fans clearly want Son to sign a new deal and some feel that he deserves a big wage as well.
The 28-year-old has scored eight goals in the Premier League this season and has picked up two assists as well. He has picked up a rating of 7.98 for his performances in the league and he has been the club’s third-best player in the campaign so far.
Considering his contributions so far this season, it is easy to understand why Spurs fans want Son to sign a new contract soon.
