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-final 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 go one 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 came off at half-time against Newcastle last weekend.
Dragusin – the club’s only fit centre-back – is available to play after illness as Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies are still sidelined.

New goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is registered and could 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. We will be missing approximately 10 first team players.
“It’s not easy, so we have to keep trying 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 have returned to training and young Moore could be available. Goalkeeper Fraser Forster is back in training after illness, but Guglielmo Vicario is a long-term miss.
