It's a shock. Is there no place for Son Heung-min under Tottenham manager Thomas Frank.
The British media Express said on the 13th (Korea time) 'How Tottenham will reorganize its squad this summer is drawing keen attention. Attention will be focused on who coach Frank will recruit. He is expected to receive support for his participation in the European Champions League (UCL), the report said.
The media released a 'expected lineup of 4-2-3-1 formations that Frank will utilize. Dominic Solanke is expected to be the front-line striker, and Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Dejan Kulusevski and Antoine Semeno (Bonmouth) are expected to be deployed in the second line. Rodrigo Bentancur-Morten Yulman (Sporting) is expected to hit the foot as a double bolanch (defensive midfielder). Pedro Porro-Christian Romero-Mickey van der Penn-Destiny Udogi is expected to be in charge of the defense. The goal marked Guglielmo Vicario.
The Express said 'Frank is expected to be tasked with improving Tottenham's vulnerability to attack. Recruiting Yulman can be of great help. The defense is unlikely to change much. Romero is attracting attention from Atletico Madrid (Spain), but the possibility of staying is increasing' he said.

Tottenham chose to change. He recently broke up with coach Enze Postecoglou. Frank was given the baton. Tottenham appointed head coach Frank on the 13th. He will lead Tottenham until 2028. Coach Frank has significantly exceeded expectations over the long term. He is the most progressive and innovative coach in football. It was officially announced that player and team management produced results.
Frank is from Denmark and coached Brünbü (Denmark) from 2013 to 2016. After serving as Brentford's head coach, he has led the team for seven years as an official coach since 2018. He placed the team, which was 11th in the 2018-2019 Championship (second division), in third place in the 2020-2021 season. Through the playoffs, the team took the team to the English Premier League (EPL) for the first time in 74 years. Even after promotion, Brentford has remained stable in the middle. Three leaders, including coach Justin Cochrane, who was assisting coach Frank at Brentford, will also join Tottenham.

Attention is paid to Son Heung-min's future. Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushcashi Award in 2020. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Pushkashi Award are the first and only milestone for an Asian player to date. In addition, he lifted the trophy in the Europa League in 2024-2025 season. Tottenham were crowned champions for the first time since the 2007-2008 League Cup. Son Heung-min left his name as the captain who broke Tottenham's military record.
The problem is the contract period. Tottenham has re-signed Son Heung-min twice so far. Son Heung-min, who signed a five-year contract in 2015, renewed his contract in July 2018 and extended the period until 2023. The second renewal period signed in July 2021 was until this summer. This included a one-year extension option. Tottenham exercised their option to extend their contract with Son until the summer of 2026 in January. Recently, the love call for him has been getting hotter. It is known to be attracting attention from Saudi Arabia and MLS (major league Soccer).
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min stopped talking about a transfer after the final Group B match against Kuwait in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th. He said "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.'
