'Ju'Ju' said Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min holds the key despite all the noise.
The air currents are subtle. Son Heung-min is expected to leave Tottenham. Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in the summer of 2015, is in his 10th season.
He signed a four-year contract with Tottenham in July 2021. Tottenham and Son Heung-min's contract expires after the 2024-2025 season, but the contract period has been extended to June 2026 due to the option of a one-year extension.
Son Heung-min has been saying a lot of meaningful things since the beginning of this season. Before Tottenham launched the extension option, he said "What I can do is do my best to help the team and do what the team needs for the team. "As you can't always predict the future, it's most important to show how I improve day by day." "I told you before the season, but I really have a big idea to make it special, so I'm focusing on it without paying attention to anything else." he said.
Last month, he remained in the position despite a series of crises involving injured players. Son Heung-min said, `Every game is extremely precious to me and it's the final. I'm playing with that kind of mindset."

There was a lot of snow. The British newspaper 'The Times' has recently put the current situation in order. The Times says Tottenham want Son to renew his contract and become one of the best players in the club's history. However, Son Heung-min is skeptical about extending his contract, making negotiations difficult, he said.
It has been a series of chaos. When England's `Give Me Sports' revealed the '2025 Tottenham Player Rankings' last month, Son Heung-min was classified as 'Listen to Offer' along with Hishalisson, Rodrigo Bentancourt, and Ives Bissouma.
'Give Me Sports' has a player who 'Tottenham doesn't necessarily have to sell, but has to welcome all offers. The first one is Son Heung-min. He has been an icon for Tottenham for many years. Undoubtedly one of the best players in the English Premier League (EPL). However, there has been a noticeable decrease in attack points compared to the past. I think it's time to cash in before things get worse.'
There is still a 'Shake'. Britain's Team Talk ' cannot hide the fact that Son Heung-min is not as powerful as he used to be. However, it is still worth protecting him. It will be difficult to sell for a considerable amount of money,' he said, enjoying popularity in the locker room and may play well as a rotation player. However, the captaincy will have to be abandoned. Tottenham need better leadership.

Son Heung-min, however, has not wavered this season. He scored 10 goals and 10 assists in 35 official games, achieving double-digit scoring assistance for the fifth time in his career. He also scored 126 goals and 71 assists in 326 EPL matches, achieving 70 goals and 70 assists.
Son Heung-min's 70 goals and 70 assists in the EPL are valuable records, the 11th in history. Teddy Sheringham (146 goals and 76 assists), Wayne Rooney (208 goals and 103 assists), Frank Lampard (177 goals and 102 assists), Ryan Giggs (109 goals and 162 assists), Andy Cole (187 goals and 73 assists), Dennis Bergkamp (187 goals and 94 assists), Steven Gerrard (120 goals and 92 assists), Thierry Henry (175 goals and 74 assists), Mohamed Salah (181 goals and 84 assists), and Kevin De Bruyne (70 goals and 118 assists) made the milestone ahead of Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min has scored double-digit points for nine consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season to this season. It is the only milestone among active EPL players. In the 2021-2022 season, he scored 23 goals, becoming the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the EPL. He was 100% pure top scorer with no penalty kick points.

Last season, he joined Tottenham's first third '10 (goal)-10 (help) club'. Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to achieve the EPL '10-10' in the 2019-2020 season. In the 2020-2021 season, he also scored 17 goals and 10 assists, and stepped on that position once again.
And with 17 goals and 10 assists, he opened another new door. Only five players have joined the 10-10 club more than three times in the EPL: Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba (retired) and Salah.
Son Heung-min was recorded as Tottenham's 400th player in history in April last year. It is the 14th record in Tottenham's history and the first non-European player. Son Heung-min is also ranked first in Tottenham's all-time help.
Son Heung-min's 'marketing power' is a 'carrot' that Tottenham cannot ignore anymore. Tottenham is enjoying the off-season tour of Korea and attracting sponsorships for Korean companies. It has also emerged as a 'national club' of Korea. There are also many fans who use Son Heung-min's game 'British intuition' as 'bucket list'. This is why it is easy to see the Taegeukgi whenever Tottenham's home game is held.

But Son Heung-min seems to have another dream. Rumors of a transfer to Bayern Munich are also drawing attention. Spain's 'Patchhes" could be signed by Bayern, one of the world's top clubs, Son Heung-min. Son said his future at Tottenham is currently unstable, and Bayern appears to be one of the attractive destination options Son could consider.
`Give Me Sports' also says that Bayern wants to recruit a world-class player after Harry Kane' Son Heung-min is likely to return to Germany due to a transfer to Bayern. If Son agrees to move to Bayern, he will join a club that regularly competes for major honors.'"
Son Heung-min still has many coveted clubs. Big clubs such as Bayern, Barcelona, and Manchester United were already mentioned in the transfer market last winter. Son Heung-min decides whether he stays at Tottenham or transfers.
