Son Heung-min's teammate who started his Tottenham career is more likely to leave.

Britain's Spurs Web reported on the 31st (Korea time) 'If Ryan Mason leaves Tottenham, it could hurt the team greatly'

Spursweb said 'Mason is highly regarded for his two acting coaches. He emerged as the first candidate to replace Tony Mowbray. Mason is also said to be positive for his job as head coach.

Mason was a sexual youth who went through Tottenham Youth in the past and succeeded in making his professional debut at Tottenham. However, his position did not appear easily. Since his debut at Tottenham, Mason has rarely had a chance, and he has gone through various leagues, ranging from third division, second division, French Ligue 1 and again third division, but he has also had difficulty making his league debut at Tottenham.

The coach who gave Mason a chance was Mauricio Pochettino, who is also Son's teacher. After taking office, Pochettino gave Mason a chance by using him as a replacement resource, and he also began to work with Son Heung-min, who joined the team in 2015. Son Heung-min is one of his teammates who played his first season together. However, Mason's performance did not last long. Mason, who was struggling with injuries at Tottenham, had to move to Hull City in 2016. However, he also had to give up his career after undergoing surgery for a skull fracture with a major injury in Hull City.

Mason, who ended his career, returned to his old team Tottenham. Tottenham asked Mason to coach the club's youth team and coach the U-18 (under 18) team, and Mason began to play as a coach in Tottenham's first team in 2021. In 2021, he was the acting coach, but he became the first coach in his 20s in the English Premier League (EPL). Tottenham replaced Mourinho at the time, leaving Tottenham's manager position vacant, and Tottenham appointed Mason, who was 29 years old at the time, as acting manager. It was the youngest and first record in the EPL.

Mason, who returned to coaching after Tottenham appointed Nunu Santo during the 2021-2022 season, will take over as the coach again under the acting system for the first time in the 2022-2023 season. Tottenham replaced Antonio Conte and entered the head coach system of Christian Stellini, but after Stellini failed to produce results, Mason took over as interim manager. Mason handed over the job to Enze Postecoglou after serving as interim manager and was Tottenham coach until this season.

Mason, who only served as an acting manager, also had an opportunity to become a manager. He is currently considered a leading candidate for coach of West Bromwich Albion. It is a situation that is being discussed as a successor to Mobray. The problem is that additional coaching departures could occur along with Mason.

Spursweb says 'We don't know who Mason will take. However, if several coaches follow him to West Brom, it will probably be an opportunity to give him confidence that Enze Postecoglou will leave.'"
