Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says the club want to ensure captain Son Heung-min wins a trophy with the club after extending his stay until the summer of 2026.
Spurs face Liverpool in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals on Wednesday – the last trophy they lifted in 2008.
Son was runner-up in the EFL Cup and Champions League during his time at Tottenham and Postecoglou wants to take that a step further.
He said: “The main ambition is to make sure he ends his career here with some silverware.”
Spurs remain riddled with injuries but should have defender Radu Dragusin available after he was withdrawn at half-time against Newcastle last weekend.
Dragusin – the club’s only fit full-time centre-back – is available to play after illness as Miki van de Ven, Christian Romero and Ben Davies are still out.

New goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is registered and fit to play, with the club still hoping to add to their depleted numbers this month.
Postecoglou said: “We are still trying to help the team and the players. Around 10 first team players will be missing.
“It’s not easy, so we have to try to help the band.”
Spurs have Rodrigo Bentancur back through suspension but James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr have been ruled out.
Wingers Richarlison and Mikey Moore are back in training with youngster Moore likely to be available. Goalkeeper Fraser Forster is back in training after illness, but Guglielmo Vicario is a long-term absentee.
Destiny Udogie and Wilson Odobert fill in the missing names for Spurs.
