He said: ‘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.

‘It’s like home, especially with the fans, the players, the staff. There was no decision. It was easy. I’m so happy to be here and will be so glad to see the fans again soon.’ 

Son – who won the Puskas Award and Premier League goal of the season for his stunning run and finish against Burnley, has committed his future to the club amid talk of strike partner Harry Kane leaving. 

He recorded a record 14 goal combinations last season with Kane, who has been linked with a £160million summer transfer to Manchester City.

Managing director Fabio Paratici added: ‘We are pleased to have agreed a new long-term contract with Heung-min Son as we move towards the start of a new season and a new chapter for the Club with Nuno Espirito Santo.

‘Everyone can see the real positive impact he has on the Club, both on and off the field, and we are delighted that he will play a part in what we are trying to achieve in the coming years.’
