The need to recruit Son Heung-min's replacement continues to be raised. They say they should focus on strengthening the squad by recruiting wingers with goal-scoring skills.

The BBC reported on the 27th (Korea time) "Securing a berth to the UEFA Champions League by winning the UEFA Europa League not only helped Tottenham financially, but also meant that squad reinforcement is essential to compete with top European teams in the future."

The media pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the side striker with scoring ability.




"Tottenham has recently been linked to Antoine Semeno of Bournemouth, which is not irrelevant to the intention of reinforcing the winger position, which currently lacks scoring ability of the team," the BBC said. "Given Son Heung-min's deterioration in performance and Wilson O'Donbert's lack of experience, the recruitment of offensive wingers is a predictable scenario."

Tottenham have not yet achieved proper player reinforcement. The only reinforcement of the offense is the full recruitment of striker Matisse Tell, who played on loan from Bayern Munich, for 30 million pounds (about 53 billion won).

In other words, he has yet to recruit a player who will be at the core of the new coach Thomas Frank. Son Heung-min is showing interest in the Saudi Arabian League and the Turkiye League. Speculation continues to emerge that Son Heung-min, who achieved his dream by winning UEFA, could leave the team with a successful finish.




Players mentioned as Son Heung-min's replacement include Semeno and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze. They are all fast-footed players and are considered more competitive winger resources than 32-year-old Son Heung-min.

However, there is a possibility that Son Heung-min will not sell it because his contract period is about a year away. This is because there are opinions that Frank needs the help of captain Son Heung-min in order to adapt to the team.

Some point out that it is urgent to postpone the reinforcement of wingers for a while and reinforce other positions.

Rodrigo Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are both in the final year of their contracts. Tottenham lost control in the midfield and collapsed in the English Premier League (EPL) last season. The reality is that it cannot leap to the top with its current power. Nevertheless, all the players mentioned in the summer transfer market are focused on the offense and defense.

There is a possibility that young Archie Gray will be the main player if he enters the next season without recruiting a central midfielder. Gray has the advantage of being able to play in various positions, but he is classified as a player who needs improvement to play as a key midfielder for the team.

Attention should be paid to the summer transfer market whether Frank will recruit Son Heung-min's replacement as the top priority or save this money to reinforce other positions. This choice could determine Tottenham's ranking next season.
