It is possible to have a scenario where Son Heung-min and Tottenham will say goodbye soon.

Reporter David Onstein, who works for The Athletic in England and boasts the highest public confidence in the English Premier League (EPL), prepared a time to ask and answer fans on the 7th (Korea time). When fans leave questions about the transfer market, Onstein reporters answer.

A local soccer fan left a question about Son Heung-min's future. The fan added "Is it possible that Son Heung-min will sign an extension contract (with Tottenham)? If not, will you leave after the next season?" asked.

In response, Onstein said, `Son Heung-min will be 34 years old by the time his existing contract, which was recently extended to June 2026, expires. I don't know what decision the players and the club have made yet beyond that contract. It's still too early to tell," he said, cautiously starting to respond.

Reporter Onstein "Personally, given Son's recent performance, I wouldn't be surprised to decide to break up at that point. But this is complete speculation and a lot can happen between now and then"All possibilities are open."

Reporter Onstein was also not clearly sure about Son Heung-min's future, but it is important that all possibilities are open. So far, I can't imagine Son Heung-min leaving Tottenham and wearing another team's uniform, but if what reporter Onstein said is true, it is not strange for Son Heung-min to leave Tottenham after leaving this season.

Tottenham may decide to part ways with Son Heung-min, but Son Heung-min may decide to leave the team for the championship like Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, Luca Modric and Christian Eriksen.

Tottenham is an extremely reluctant club to hand over its key players to another team for free without receiving a transfer fee. If Son informs Tottenham that there will be no additional re-signing after finishing the season well, Tottenham may consider selling Son this coming summer. Kane left in this scenario.

Son Heung-min's age is now looking at his mid-30s, but if Son Heung-min is willing to play for another three to four years, the team he wants to recruit will line up. It will not be easy for Son Heung-min to move to a higher club than Tottenham due to his age, but there is nothing impossible in the transfer market. Son Heung-min could ask for a transfer.

ESPN also paid attention to the player's appearance on the field while talking about Son Heung-min's future on the 1st. It was not Son Heung-min's performance, but his expression on the field was not good.

ESPN said, `It may be because of his professional and personal responsibility, but Son's appearance seems to have been affected by Tottenham's problems this season. A source once mentioned that "'Maybe the biggest concern is not that Son Heung-min doesn't score a goal, but that he doesn't smile'

The media outlet also added that `Son Heung-min is not a fussy player, but sources say he was somewhat disappointed that no discussion had taken place on a new contract.'
