Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min celebrates scoring his side's third goal of the game during the Premier League match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London.

Tottenham are prioritising a new contract for Heung-min Son.

The Daily Mail says Spurs will now focus on trying to renegotiate the contracts of Jose Mourinho’s current squad, with signing Son to an extension understood to be a priority.

Son retains a major significance within Tottenham’s lucrative commercial strategy given his iconic status in south-east Asia.

Son will enter the final two years of his contract at the end of this season. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has an unwritten rule in that he does not allow players to enter the final two years of their playing deals to avoid any possibility of losing them on free transfers.

The forward currently earns in the region of £150,000-per-week, but can expect a sharp increase as Spurs look to cement his position.
