'Son National' It is time for Son Heung-min (33) to leave his team Tottenham.
Gabriel Agbonlaher, who played for Aston Villa in the past, claimed on the 27th (Korea time) that Son Heung-min was in a similar situation to Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne (34).
Agbonlaher is "Look at Son Heung-min. Didn't Son Heung-min have the best performance at Tottenham? He boasted the best speed in his heyday. But from what I've watched over the past season and a half, it's slowed down. He turns 33 in July. Is it time for Tottenham to let him go?." Just as it's time for The Bruyne to leave Manchester City, Son Heung-min is in a similar situation.

Sports media that introduced Agbonlaher's remarks 'TDR'We have John Terry, the best player for Chelsea for many years, released, and Steven Gerrard left Liverpool in his later years. Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen were released in their 30s, and Hugo Lloris also left the team. Son Heung-min is now in a similar situation. Son is 32 years old now. He was criticized a lot this season, and some called for Son Heung-min's release.
The media highlighted Son Heung-min and The Bruyne's performances over the past five seasons. From the 2020-2021 season to this season, Son Heung-min has 27-30-16-27-16 offensive points, gradually decreasing. The Bruyne also has 18-23-23-14-8. 'TDR' is below the level of Son Heung-min when he won the EPL's top scorer. It may not be the time to sell Son Heung-min right away, but it is time for Tottenham's attackers to find a way to rely less on him. Son Heung-min's days as a key player for Tottenham may soon be over.

Rumors of a release were also raised. Tottenham Hotspur News', which mainly deals with Tottenham news, reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) 'If Tottenham finds a replacement, Son Heung-min can be released in the summer' 'Tottenham has had a dismal season, and Son Heung-min is in a similar position. Son Heung-min's poor performance is unfortunate, but it seems only a matter of time before his performance ends. Tottenham should recruit a player to replace Son Heung-min, and Justin Clawibert has been linked to Tottenham's transfer. If Klawibert is confirmed, Tottenham can set favorable conditions for Son Heung-min's future, he said.
Son Heung-min, who returned to London after playing two straight A matches in March, will prepare for an away match in the 30th round of the EPL against Chelsea on the 4th of next month.
