Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 20th (Korea time) 'If a team that is likely to be promoted such as Leeds United starts recruiting Son Heung-min, this could be a positive choice for both players and clubs.
The media raised the possibility of Tottenham captain Son Heung-min leaving the team in the transfer market this summer. This is because Son Heung-min is not performing his original skills this season, which is also coupled with the sluggish trend of Tottenham as a whole.
Son Heung-min was a key player who led Tottenham's golden age when he was with Harry Kane.
However, since Kane left for Bayern Munich, he has not been able to play the role of a sure-fire fixer for the team, scoring just seven goals in the Premier League this season.
The media argued that there is a growing possibility that Son Heung-min and Tottenham's separation will become a reality amid this slump.
Former Brentford manager Martin Allen told Tottenham Hotspur News that "work is already underway for the transfer, and there is a possibility that the promoted teams will want to recruit Son Heung-min."
"Son Heung-min has been a fantastic player for Tottenham for a long time," Allen said. But he lost his speed in his heyday, and it's hard to expect the same performance as before anymoreIt is not surprising that Tottenham is considering Son Heung-min's transfer. Promoted teams will try to recruit him without hesitation."

After the end of this season, transfer discussions related to Son Heung-min are expected to begin in earnest. Of course, it could lead to a breakup with Tottenham.
However, the possibility of transfer to a lower-ranking team such as Leeds United is close to 0%. It is true that he does not perform as well as he did in his heyday, but Son Heung-min, who commanded the league by becoming the top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL). If you transfer, you are likely to move to a club that can challenge the European competition.
Meanwhile, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou's team has been seriously struggling in the Premier League this season. As the league ranking fell to 14th place, the ranking competition for the European competition became virtually meaningless.
The only chance to advance to the European tournament is to win the UEFA Europa League. This is why Son Heung-min and Postecoglou should do their best in the Europa League for the rest of the season.
