Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says the club wants to ensure captain Son Heung-min wins a trophy with the club after extending his stay until the summer of 2026.

Spurs face Liverpool on Wednesday in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final – the last trophy they won in 2008.

Son was an EFL Cup and Champions League runner-up during his time at Tottenham and Postecoglou wants him to go even further.

He said: “The main ambition is to make sure he finishes his career here with silverware.”

Spurs remain injury-riddled but should have defender Radu Dragusin available after his half-time exit against Newcastle last weekend.

Dragusin – the club’s only fit full-time centre-back – is available to play after illness as Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies are still out.

New goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is registered and could play, with the club still hoping to add to their depleted squad this month.

Postecoglou said: “We always try to help the team and the players. We will be missing around 10 players from the first team.

“It’s not easy, so we still have to try to help the playing group.”

Spurs have Rodrigo Bentancur back from suspension but James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr are banned.

Wingers Richarlison and Mikey Moore are back in training with youngster Moore possibly available. Goalkeeper Fraser Forster is back in training after illness, but Guglielmo Vicario is out long-term.

Destiny Udogie and Wilson Odobert fill out the missing names for Spurs.
