Tottenham captain Son Heung-min says they will have to “wait and see what happens” when it comes to his contract.
It casts some uncertainty over his future, with just one year remaining on the 32-year-old’s current deal.
It could be one of the first issues Thomas Frank would be faced with if he is appointed as the next Spurs boss, as is looking increasingly likely.
“I still have one more year left on the contract,” Son said on Tuesday to Korean news agency Yonhap.
“Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens.”
With many players away on international duty when the news was confirmed that Ange Postecoglou had been sacked, they will now be waiting to find out who will be in charge when they return to the club.
Spurs defender Micky van de Ven has described it as a “strange” decision to dismiss Postecoglou after he ended the club’s 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League.
The Australian brought Van de Ven to north London from Wolfsburg in August 2023 and the 24-year-old Netherlands centre-back has made 41 appearances.
He told Voetbalzone: “Many of the players got along with him well = and, of course, he is the first coach who has brought success to Spurs in a long time.
“That also shows he has a certain quality and a winning mentality – 100%. From that, you would of course say that it is strange that he was fired.
“That was ultimately a choice from the club. We will see what happens now. Of course, we see some rumours about the Brentford head coach, who it will probably be.”
