Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) "As Son Heung-min turns 33 in the coming summer, questions are being raised about his long-term role, and recent reports are further raising these doubts."
Tottenham's captain Son Heung-min won the UEFA Europa League final on the 22nd by beating Manchester United 1-0. He was enthusiastically congratulated by Tottenham fans and was at the center of it, establishing himself as a Tottenham legend.
However, despite the emotional end of the season, the media evaluated that this season was the least impressive season for Son Heung-min.
This season, Son Heung-min did not show his offense in his heyday season, and suffered from several minor injuries and was affected by his performance.
Tottenham have had difficulty playing several tournaments at the same time due to a series of injuries this season and have the lowest ranking in Premier League history.

Earlier, Sky Sports reported that Leroy Sane rejected Bayern Munich's offer to extend the contract, which was made amid Tottenham's interest.
Sane has contributed enough to win the German Bundesliga, although it is difficult to say that he has been consistently used as a starter for Bayern Munich this season.
Sane has played for Manchester City in the English Premier League (EPL). He is a threatening player with extensive Premier League experience and could be one of the big recruits Tottenham fans expect from chairman Daniel Levy.
If Sané comes, Son Heung-min's chances to play will inevitably decrease sharply. But that doesn't mean you become a player who doesn't completely contribute to the team.
The media said, `Son Heung-min can still give Tottenham a lot. Some say he is not as good as he was before as his dribbling ability or his ability to break down defense, but Son Heung-min still played meaningfully in all competitions this season with 11 goals and 12 assists."
"Tottenham may try to reduce the burden on the left side by recruiting a player like Sane, but Son Heung-min, the team's iconic captain, is still a player who can create a decisive moment. There is also a possibility that he will choose to use it more strategically than " he explained.
