It is relief for Tottenham as South Korean star Son Heung-Min has renewed his contract with the Premier League club until the end of the 2024-25 season.

The 29-year-old is penning on a new deal despite that star striker Harry Kane is preparing for a blockbuster move to join rivals Manchester City.

Kane is set to join the Citizens for a British record of £160million deal, but Son will carry on at the club for four more seasons.

Kane’s future has been subject to speculation from May 2021 after the England forward made it clear he wanted to leave the North London club.

Manchester City has been his most likely destination but a potential deal has always been hampered by the fact that Spurs were not necessarily willing to let their star man go.

But Nuno Espirito Santo and Co have been buoyed by the news Son has extended his contract.

A Tottenham statement reads via 90min:

"We are delighted to announce that Heung-Min Son has signed a new four-year contract with the club, which will run until 2025."

On signing the deal, Son said via SunSport:

"It was already a big honour to play here for six years. The club have showed me massive, massive respect and obviously I’m very happy to be here."

Meanwhile, Chelsea star Tammy Abraham has reportedly emerged as a top transfer target for Premier League rivals Arsenal this summer.

The Blues are understood to be prepared to let the forward join their London rivals on loan in a move aimed at speeding through a deal.

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are also looking to land the striker who has failed to earn the faith of Thomas Tuchel.

David Luiz departs Arsenal

Legit.ng earlier reported that David Luiz ended his spell with Arsenal last season as the Brazilian centre-back is set to join newly-promoted Turkish side Adana Demirspor.

The 34-year-old's contract at the Emirates expired at the end of June and the latest report claims he could join Italian star Mario Balotelli, Britt Assombalonga and Morocco midfielder Younes Belhanda.

President of Adana Murat Sancak confirmed that talks are currently ongoing to land the Premier League and Europa League winner to the club.
