While Son Heung-min's decision to move to the summer transfer market is a hot topic among soccer fans, the BBC predicted that Son Heung-min's decision will be postponed after Tottenham's Asian tour. Son Heung-min has a year left on his contract with Tottenham, hot love calls from three Saudi Arabian League clubs (Al-Nasr, Al-Ahli and Al-Qaddysia), and rumors of Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce link continue to be heard every day. Coach Angie Postecoglou, who used Son Heung-min as a captain, was replaced, former Brentford coach Thomas Frank was appointed, and Son Heung-min's future became more mysterious as he envisioned a team rebuild.
After Son Heung-min himself confirmed his 11th consecutive World Cup run, in an interview with domestic reporters, he asked a question about his future, `For now, the contract period remains. You have to wait rather than say something. Like many people, I'm curious about my future. We have to wait and see what happens in the future. No matter where you are, you have to do your best and try your best. I'll do my best to prepare well," he once said, saving his words.

The BBC also reported that the pre-season summer tour is a profitable event for English Premier League clubs and Son will play a key role in the commercial appeal of visiting Tottenham, adding that Son's participation in various activities during the tour has already been agreed upon, and the Tottenham club has also promised to carry out the plan. 'Tottenham will reportedly not consider selling the captain before the Asian tour unless it receives an offer far higher than Son's market valuation,' he added. Tottenham has yet to receive an official offer for Son and it is still unclear whether it will be accompanied by new coach Thomas Frank's plans for next season. As a result, Son Heung-min's future is likely to continue until the second half of the transfer window on September 1. The BBC diagnosed that Son's transfer will be a big change considering Son's status within the club. Son has been a key player for Tottenham for 10 years since moving to Tottenham from Leverkusen in 2015 and is widely recognized as Tottenham's most important player in the Premier League with 173 goals in 454 matches. Son made his name in Tottenham's history as the first captain to lift Tottenham's European Championship trophy in 40 years after beating Manchester United in the Europa League final last month.
Meanwhile, Frank entered Tottenham's training camp this week and plans to reinforce his summer striker. For now, Matistel has been hired permanently from Bayern Munich and is actively considering recruiting Brian Mbeumo, his assistant at Brentford.
