British rapper AJ Tracey has called on Tottenham Hotspur to offer Son Heung-min a new contract to reward his loyalty to the club.
Son, 32, is out of contract at the end of the season and, as of January 1, has been free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs.
The South Korea international has played over 430 times for Spurs since signing from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, scoring 169 goals.
But in November, Son hinted that this year could be his last at White Hart Lane as he revealed that talks over a new deal had yet to occur.

Another day, another injury setback. This time, Pape Sarr has been forced to leave training early after picking up an unknown knock. Sigh. I would say that it seems hard to believe we are back with yet another injury report. However, it’s really not that hard to believe anymore, is it? The Tottenham medical team, if they aren’t overworked enough already, will soon welcome another player to the treatment table. Unfortunately, that treatment table might not have enough capacity for many more players at this point in time. You name a Tottenham key player, they’re probably injured. If they aren’t injured right now, they would have spent some time this season recovering from an injury. That’s how bad the situation is and it’s not getting any easier. Tottenham suffer yet another injury blow as midfielder leaves training early According to Tottenham insider Paul O Keefe on X (formerly Twitter), Pape Sarr had to exit training prematurely due to an unknown injury knock. In his own words, O Keefe said: “When it rains and all that. Pape Sarr had to pull out of training today. Unsure of the extent of issue. Ange speaking later.” This season, Sarr has played in every Premier League game for Tottenham. He has started just 14 of those but he’s come off the bench in the other eight matches. Sarr is a great player and he’s been a tremendous asset to Tottenham since joining. However, he’ll be the first to admit he isn’t quite at the level of playing *every* league game. This, if anything, only goes to show how important he has been to help navigate the injury crisis. That said, if this injury is anything serious, then Sarr’s Premier League streak might come to an end. After all, Spurs host Leicester on Sunday, after facing Hoffenheim away from home tomorrow evening. With this knock, I wouldn’t count on Sarr playing in the Europa League match. After all, this is less important to Ange Postecoglou anyway, given Spurs’ position in the Premier League. If he is carrying a knock, it is not worth risking him in midweek. Hopefully, Sarr is able to return in time to face Leicester. Otherwise, there’s no telling what the midfield will look like. At this stage, fans cannot even remember which players are injured and which are available. They have all just merged into one.

However, musician and rapper AJ Tracey has called on the club to mirror the loyalty Son has shown during his 10 years in North London and offer the forward new terms.
Writing on X, he said: “Spurs, do the right thing, give Sonny a new contract. Treat one of our best & most loyal players ever how he deserves to he treated. For all he’s done for us, he’s surely earned the right to end his career however he sees fit. Letting him go this way wouldn’t sit right.”
Discussing his future in November, Son said: “We haven’t talked about anything yet. It is very clear from me,” he said. “I am very focused on this season. At this age, every second is like a goal, especially this season, we are in a lot of competitions, it feels like I am taking even more care about this.
“As I say, I am fully focused on this year and just want to win something that everybody at the club – the players, all around – deserves.
“That’s what I’m working for. In the future you never know what will happen, but I will give everything for this club because it’s been almost 10 years and I give everything.
“I still have a contract with the club which is the very important thing and I just want to give everything until my contract [expires].”
