And instead, Son will commit his golden years to the London club on improved terms after a stellar season.
The versatile forward found the target 17 times in the Premier League, helping Spurs lead an early charge up the table.
Despite their following poor form under Jose Mourinho, who was eventually sacked in April, Son continued to impress up top.
However, club chiefs feared he could look to follow in Kane’s footsteps by declaring his intention to leave.
England captain Kane is desperate to secure a transfer away from Tottenham before the start of the new season.

But Son is set to go in the opposite direction to Kane by extending his contract for many more years to come.
His decision will come as a huge relief to Daniel Levy, who now has just one wantaway forward to deal with.
