Surely the issue is that, after being out of football for 2 years, he's unlikely to be at the right level to play for us for a long time after his service is complete

Nice one Son! Anyone heard what he’s on now a week?
Superb news.
Well deserved and good news.
We just need one of this group who are signing new contracts to elevate to world class star in the true sense of the word.
Then we will be really talking.
But excellent in the round.

Get your bets on S Korea to win the games. There’s no way Levy would be splashing the cash on a new contract without knowing the result of the games.

Either that or he's had an assurance from Son/S Korea that he will have an exemption.

Great news and well deserved. But where is Poch and his fatherly arm around the shoulder in the picture?????
Seems unlikely to me, but that would be brilliant by Levy.
Is there a more popular player among his teammates and the fans.
Like everyone loves Sonny.

Is that even allowed? Surely he has to be part of and with the Korean squad for the entirety of the tournament? Even if he plays or not
Not sure if that is allowed, but we do know the following from the Spurs website:
Son will now join up with the squad ahead of our tour of the United States where we will compete in the International Champions Cup against AS Roma (San Diego), Barcelona (Los Angeles) and AC Milan (Minneapolis) and will also be available for our opening game of the Premier League season away at Newcastle United before travelling to Indonesia to represent South Korea at the Asian Games.
Source: New contract for Son
Asian Games starts 14th Aug.
Spurs will miss him later in August, and possibly in September, but there’s no doubt he will be an important member of the squad when he comes back from international duty. The soccer part of the tournament in Indonesia will run from August 14th until September 1st.
Those Asian Games are crucial for Son, and now for Tottenham too. If the South Koreans win gold then they will be exempt from military service in their homeland. If they don’t, then that conscription is still looming in the future. It would probably come into effect before 2023, but there could also be a clause in this new contract that deals with that issue.

Great news! I fucking love this man so much. Whenever he's happy and smiling it instantly makes me feel the same way. Get in Sonny!
