Tottenham is also reeling from the appointment of a new coach.
From captain Son Heung-min to vice-captain Christian Romero, the possibility of leaving the team is raised, and there is a possibility that the difficulty in constructing the next season's power will increase.
Tottenham announced Frank's appointment on its official website on the 13th. Frank, who will replace Enze Postecoglou with Tottenham, has signed a contract with Tottenham until 2028. Frank, who has led Brentford since 2018, is one of the competent managers who have succeeded in remaining in the first division along with the club's promotion to the EPL. He showed his ability to find players on a limited budget, and his tactical style was also well-received, finding the best way in a given squad. He is also a coach who recruited Korean national team defender Kim Ji-soo to Brentford.

It is reported that Frank will decide whether Son Heung-min will stay as the top priority after taking office. Son Heung-min, who has devoted 10 years to Tottenham, has been rumored to be a transfer throughout this season, so the prevailing view was that Frank would judge the situation and decide Son's future. There is already news that Frank will leave Son on the team because he wants Son Heung-min to stay.
But there is a temptation to shake Son Heung-min. They are Turkiye Fenerbahce and Jose Mourinho. Mourinho and Fenerbahce already wanted Son Heung-min last summer. Son recorded the most playing time under Mourinho, scoring 29 goals and 25 assists in 70 games. Last summer, Fenerbahce actively considered Son Heung-min as a candidate to strengthen his power for Mourinho, but Tottenham had no intention of selling Son Heung-min. However, if Son Heung-min takes on a new challenge this summer, the Turkiye stage could be an option.
Turkiye's Axamspor on the 14th (Korean time) 'Son Heung-min will come eventually.Son became closer to Fenerbahce. Now it may come true. Son decided to leave the team under the new coach, and the possibility of a transfer to Fenerbahce intensified, he claimed.

The problem is that Son Heung-min's departure could be the beginning. Vice-captain Romero is also rumored to be transferred. France's Sport says Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are competing for Romero and Romero is demanding a transfer. He wants to leave Tottenham for a higher goal. Real and Atletico are interested. If Romero is lost, Tottenham's plans could go up in smoke.
Romero has already been rumored to transfer throughout this season. He is also on the phone with Atlético manager Diego Simeone, and is said to strongly want a transfer. Tottenham's Europa League victory seemed to change the situation, but the replacement of Postecoglou led to the transfer again.
After Frank's appointment, Romero posted on social media, 'Enze, thank you for showing great work for two seasons. You are a fantastic director and, above all, a tremendously good man. You created a path despite the numerous obstacles that existed from the first time you came to the team. Despite everything, we won the trophy, and we left our name in the beautiful history of the club. This is all that matters. 'I think you're the best, and I thank you for everything because you did your best.' There is growing suspicion that you may be unhappy with the club, saying goodbye to Postecoglou.
Despite the new appointment of Frank, Tottenham is shaken by the possibility of the departure of key players Son Heung-min and Romero. If both players leave the team, even if Tottenham reinforces its power anew, it cannot be ruled out that it will lose its central point to unite the team.
