It was argued that Son Heung-min would be replaced by a Tottenham Academy player. He introduced himself as a multi-player and scoring player, and he expected to be able to push Son Heung-min out from a long-term perspective. Fans may not like the situation in which the captain of Korean soccer is compared to an academy player.
The British Football Fancast reported on the 9th (Korea Standard Time) that `actually one of the last stars of Pochettino's time is Son Heung-min`, but even he is expected to leave the team soon.'
The media claimed that Son Heung-min's perfect replacement is growing up at the Tottenham Academy. The main character is 17-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett.
Although he has not made his professional debut yet, he is considered a strong candidate to fill the position naturally at a time when Son Heung-min is gradually reducing his weight in the team. Analysts say he will not be able to show Son Heung-min's level right now, but he is a player who will receive enough opportunities in the near future.
Williams-Barnett is a versatile player who can play central midfielder, attacking midfielder, left flank midfielder, striker and both winger positions.
John Wenham Williams-Barnett, who is well-versed in Tottenham's news, was called a `cheat-like player.'
Not only is he a multiplayer, but he also has a great stat in attack.

Williams-Barnett has 18 goals and nine assists in 17 appearances for the youth team this season. In other words, it produces one attack point every 50 minutes.
Tottenham have replaced three full-time managers in the past five years. Looking at the situation this season, there is a prospect that coach Enze Postecoglou could also be replaced.
These changes also affected the squad. Harry Kane, the club's all-time leading scorer and England captain, moved to Bayern Munich in 2023. Tottenham went into a major rebuild, but failed.
Son Heung-min is a legend in name and reality who played in 450 games for Tottenham. He is one of the leading star players in the English Premier League (EPL).
However, he will turn 33 at the opening of next season and is still an important player, but his explosive power has decreased as much as in his heyday.
Typically, a player in a winger position peaks at the age of 26, and his ability to break through one-on-one tends to be significantly lower after the age of 30.
Son Heung-min was among the top 1% of Premier League attacking midfielders in the field goals category in the 2021-2022 season, but fell to the top 32% this season.
Son Heung-min is a player who can contribute enough to the team for the next few years, but the reality is that he needs a replacement as time goes by. Tottenham is in the process of finding a replacement for Son Heung-min, including Williams-Barnett.
Mikey Moore is also a strong candidate for replacement, but he has not shown much performance on the professional stage. The player Tottenham is currently paying the most attention to is Williams-Barnett, the jewel of Tottenham's academy.
