If it is done, a captain who could be the worst neglect in Tottenham's history has emerged. It was argued that Son Heung-min could lose his seventh position in the next season.
Britain's Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Jack Grealish has emerged as Tottenham's top target of recruitment'
Grealish is likely to leave Manchester City after the 2024-2025 season. Grealish, who moved to Manchester City in 2021 with a transfer fee of £100 million (about 180 billion won), the highest ever for an English player, was highly anticipated as soon as he joined Aston Villa.

However, Grealish's performance was a little off Man City's expectations. Grealish, who suffered ups and downs in the first season, raised expectations again by playing in the European Champions League, league, and FA Cup along with Manchester City's achievement of treble in the 2022-2023 season. However, in the 2023-2024 season, Grealish had more time to return to the bench and rarely rebounded as he lost his seat to Jeremy Doku.
It was serious enough to finish 2024 without scoring a goal. Grealish has also been criticised for failing to score a single goal in more than a year from December 16, 2023, to the FA Cup match against Salford on January 12, 2025. This season still hasn't shown a clear rebound.
The team that wants Grealish, who has lost his seat, is Tottenham. Tottenham is known to want Grealish as a substitute for Son Heung-min from the beginning. Grealish was also mentioned as a candidate for Tottenham in the transfer market last winter, but negotiations did not take place. In the transfer market this summer, the possibility of leaving Manchester City is increasing, and expectations for a transfer to Tottenham are rising.

In this situation, some even argued that if Grealish came, he could take Son Heung-min's uniform number. Tottenham Hotspur News reported 'Tottenham is more likely to sign Grealish. Grealish wants to leave Manchester City. Grealish will be eyeing the No. 7 jersey. Son Heung-min's transfer to Saudi Arabia was raised. Grealish said he would try to make the No. 7 jersey his own if he were to move to Tottenham.
Grealish is currently wearing No 10 for Manchester City. He has worn No.7 on loan at Notts County and for England. However, Son Heung-min's No. 7 is one of Tottenham's most solid jersey numbers. If Son Heung-min does not leave, it is virtually impossible for Tottenham to give the number to another player.
However, it has recently been argued that Tottenham can sell Son Heung-min to Saudi Arabia. Since the contract period is one year away, it is known that Son Heung-min can earn transfer fees and invest in recruiting new players. If Son Heung-min is sent to Saudi Arabia, I think I can give Grealish number 7.
Son Heung-min, who won the Europa League and became one of Tottenham's all-time best players. But instead of re-signing, Tottenham plan to bring in a player who can take his jersey number. Along with the disappointing neglect, Son Heung-min's future is expected to determine Tottenham's seven main characters in the next season.
