Son Heung-min has signed a new contract with Tottenham, the Premier League club have announced.
Spurs confirmed one of their biggest stars has agreed fresh terms in a video on Twitter, accompanied with a message in Son's native Korean language which read "his story continues".
The South Korea international has signed a new four-year deal, until the summer of 2025.
Son stays at Spurs
The 29-year-old has been rewarded for his excellent form in recent seasons, with a deal which could keep him at Tottenham into his mid-30s.
Son has scored 107 goals and provided 64 assists in 280 appearances in all competitions since joining Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015.
Among them were the first ever Premier League and Champions League goals at the club's new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and a brilliant individual effort against Burnley in December 2019 - in which he ran from his own half through the entire Clarets defence to slot away - which won the Puskas Award and Premier League Goal of the Season.
