In case for those who are wondering, his current contract runs through June 30, 2025.
Not much harm extending by a year now. If he has a great season then he’s only got a year left and he has all the cards. Plus, he‘s a world class player who has given his best years to us and has recently been made captain. Giving a little something back would be the right thing to do.Seems strange seeing he is will be 33 at if the end of his current contract. You assume there might be quite a big drop once his pace goes considering that is one of his key assets.
His pace ain't going anywhere with that father of his breathing down his backSeems strange seeing he is will be 33 at if the end of his current contract. You assume there might be quite a big drop once his pace goes considering that is one of his key assets.
He never had blistering pace. His 3 goals at the weekend were about intelligence and composure.
I never said that he didn't have any pace, I was just pointing out that he didn't need it to score most of his goals. He has an ability to create his own space and shooting angles. He also knows how to find space and lose defenders, so teammates can have an option to find him.He never had blistering pace? Are you kidding, I’ve not seen too many players run at speed like him with the ball. See the Burnley goal when he ran the pitch a few years back!!

Not to mention the marketing advantages having him with us until he retires and then becomes 'father' to our youngsters on the training ground.Not much harm extending by a year now.

Emer-sonjust occured to me we have a four son foursome in our attack: Son, Maddison, Richarlison and Johnson.
I think in Veliz, Soonsup-Bell an Lankshear we big potential coming through.I think the game against Burnley really highlighted how much more effective (and confident) Son is through the middle as opposed to out wide.
Clearly a great figurehead for the club post Kane but we do also need to look at succession planning.
