Tottenham News, which mainly delivers Tottenham's news, said on the 27th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min suffered from an injury earlier this season. Even after his return, he couldn't find what he showed in the previous season. Tottenham fans have now said he is done. He also said enough was enough. There is no denying that he made a huge impact during his time at Tottenham. However, he must not find the scoring ability he showed early in his career.
Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, lost 0-1 to Nottingham in an away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at the City Ground in Nottingham, England, on the 27th. Tottenham lost two consecutive games after being completely defeated by Liverpool 3-6 in the previous home game. Tottenham finished 11th out of 20 teams with seven wins, two draws and nine losses (23 points).
Son Heung-min started as a left-side striker on the day. He curled a free kick from the right side of the penalty arc with his right foot in the extra time of the first half when his team was losing 0-1. However, he left a regret by swaying the side net. He was replaced by Timo Werner in the 36th minute of the second half when his team was dragged 0-1.
According to Footmob, a soccer statistics media outlet after the game, Son Heung-min recorded two shots, three opportunities, and a 90% pass success rate (39 attempts and 35 successes). The team lost, but Footmob gave Son Heung-min 7.2, the highest rating in Tottenham. Sofa Score also gave Son a 7.4 rating, the highest in the team.
The response from the local media in the UK was cold. British media Football London gave Son the lowest rating of 3. Football London was replaced 10 minutes before the end of the match after showing mostly hesitancy and ineffectiveness against Son Heung-min. Tottenham need more momentum and less hesitancy from him. The London Evening Standard also gave four points and 'Shooting in the 5th minute of the first half was the only performance of the day. It was another weakness on this day. Express also gave five points, the lowest. It was the same rating as Jed Spence, who was sent off. The media criticized Dejan Kulusevski by saying, `There was no opportunity except for the shot made by the eldest of his pass, only repeating the non-special pass.'
Another British media outlet, iNews, went a step further. The media outlet said 'Tottenham should face the truth about Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min has had little doubt at Tottenham for the past decade. Tottenham are reportedly planning to extend their one-year contract with Son Heung-min. Tottenham desperately need a plan for after Son Heung-min. This is the reason for some recruitment in the winter transfer market in January next year. Son Heung-min has little risk of leaving next summer. The natural solution is to bring in reinforcements and reduce his burden. Son Heung-min's expected score is 0.29 goals per 90 minutes.

In particular, Son Heung-min added two assists in the EPL match against Southampton on the 16th, building 68 assists on the EPL stage. 'Tottenham has risen to the top of the EPL's most assisted player in all time. According to the Tottenham website, Darren Anderton (67), who played in Tottenham's uniform from 1992 to 2004, has been the most helpful player so far. Son Heung-min broke the record as he built two assists on the day.
