Heung-min Son has refused to label the Europa League final his last chance of winning silverware at Tottenham Hotspur, even as uncertainty looms over his future at the club.
Winning the Europa League final against Manchester United would be massive moment in history for Tottenham Hotspur, who are desperate to end their 17-year wait for silverware.
Victory in Bilbao would also see Spurs book a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, in turn bolstering their transfer activity for the summer window.
A few Tottenham players could be heading out the door this summer, with Cristian Romero being linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.
Heung-min Son speaks on Tottenham future ahead of Europa League final
Heung-min Son’s future also remains uncertain, with the winger yet to be given a further contract extension beyond next summer.
It was revealed earlier this week that Son’s future at Spurs is hugely dependent on the man in the Tottenham dugout next season, as Tottenham continue their search for a new manager.
Ahead of the final against Manchester United at the San Mames Stadium, the Tottenham captain was asked if the clash is his last chance to secure silverware with Spurs, given his uncertain future.
The Korean winger refused to say yes, instead stating that the future remains unclear and that he could still have a shot at silverware next season.
He said as relayed by football.london: “The future we never know. Next year we might play in the Champions League. The chance that I have now is real. It is a fact. It is a final, a Europa League final. I am not thinking whether this is my last chance to win a trophy here or just another chance.”
Heung-min Son’s one-year clause was triggered by Tottenham in January, which means the Spurs captain still has until the summer of 2026 before his current deal expires.
Spurs captain Son chasing long-awaited trophy
It is clear that winning the final against Manchester United matters a lot to Heung-min Son, who has described the Europa League final as the biggest day of his life.
Son admitted his long-term goal is to win a trophy with Tottenham, and with the Europa League final on the horizon, he has a big chance of reaching that goal.
Tottenham fans would love for Son’s loyalty to be rewarded, and there is no better way for him to cap off his decade-long stay at N17 than by winning a European trophy.
