Tottenham has been steadily raising the possibility of Son Heung-min's departure recently. After contract problems that have continued since last summer, it has been argued that Son Heung-min can leave Tottenham. Tottenham also maintained its position to watch Son for another season rather than protecting Son Heung-min. Instead of signing a long-term contract, he issued a one-year option this winter, only extending the contract period with Son Heung-min until the summer of 2026. Along with Son Heung-min's sluggishness this season, there is even news that Son Heung-min can be sold in the upcoming summer transfer market.
Son is already looking for a replacement for Son. Tottenham is reportedly planning to recruit Jack Grealish, Tyler Dibbling and Antoine Semeno as replacement candidates. However, an unconventional candidate was included in the list. It's Rashford.

Rashford, who made his debut in the Manchester United first team in 2016, immediately grew into a main player and established himself as the main player of Manchester United. However, Rashford's growth has not been steady. Every time the coach changed, there were many ups and downs. Nevertheless, there were moments when fans had high expectations. In the 2022-2023 season, Rashford came back to life rapidly immediately after Erik ten Hach was appointed. He scored as many as 30 goals to record a career high, and was evaluated as a player who finally met expectations.
The performance was one moment. Rashford, who immediately suffered from a severe slump the next season, even continued to have privacy issues. The biggest problem occurred ahead of the FA Cup game against Newport County in the 2023-2024 season. At the time, drinking and visiting clubs caused a huge controversy. News broke that he was absent from training just before the game after drinking alcohol, and stories emerged that even teammates turned their backs on him. Since then, Rashford has been fined 650,000 pounds (about 1 billion won). His attitude on the field was also insincere. His loitering appearance and lack of active movement in joining the defense received a lot of criticism from fans.

This season was not much different. He scored three goals after the appointment of Houbeng Amorim, but his performance was not good. Soon after, coach Amorim removed Rashford from the list altogether. The attitude was the problem. "Training performance, game performance, meals, how we interact with team members, etc. are important," Amorim said, adding that British media also mentioned what Rashford had done, saying, "Rashford went out despite strict rules not to go to the bar before the game."
Fortunately, Rashford made the turnaround on loan from Villa. In 17 games, he scored three goals and five assists, and his performance rebounded. Along with Rashford's rebound, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, including Villa, showed interest in recruiting Rashford. Tottenham will also be on the list. Tottenham had already shown interest in renting Rashford in the transfer market last winter.

However, it is unclear whether Rashford will be able to join Tottenham or play an active role after joining. Villa, who currently have a full transfer option, are reportedly active in recruiting Rashford. European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano predicted that if Villa qualify for the European Champions League, it will be easy to recruit Rashford. It is not certain that Rashford, who has repeatedly been sluggish and ups and downs, will be able to maintain his performance at Tottenham.
Tottenham is preparing an unconventional recruitment as a substitute for Son Heung-min. Attention is also focusing on whether Rashford will head to North London after Tottenham's long interest.
