  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The decision will see them avoid another summer of uncertainty and leave them in danger of losing their captain next year. Spurs' summer window was dominated by uncertainty surrounding Kane, who opted to leave to join Bayern Munich. Had the Premier League side rejected Bayern's offer and forced Kane to stay, they would have lost him in a free transfer when his contract expired at the end of the season.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Son is already Spurs' top scorer this season, having scored three goals in just five Premier League appearances. The 31-year-old took over as captain this season after the departure of previous skipper Kane.
