Tottenham Hotspur announced on its official website on the 26th (Korea time) that it will use the new uniform for away games in the 2025-2026 season. Usually, European clubs announce their new uniforms about two months before the new season. It aims to raise interest and promote sales by unveiling the design of the new uniform to fans.
At this time, of course, the team's key players will come forward in the uniform model. Captains, aces, and notable rookies are selected as models and take pictures wearing new uniforms. Naturally, it can be said that the players used as models will remain on the team next season and play a major role.
However, from this point of view, Tottenham's announcement of its new away uniform is quite particular. This is because the main model wearing a new black away uniform, which is opposite to Tottenham's iconic color, White, was none other than Son Heung-min.

In addition, the away kit is a bold look marking the return of the UEFA Champions League away game in the new season with the slogan 'We are challenging in the dark.'"
Son Heung-min is the main model to deliver an intense message rather than a lengthy explanation. In short, this suggests that Tottenham's position on Son Heung-min's future may have changed. It may still be a message that Son Heung-min can be appointed next season as well. This is because, in common sense, it is unreasonable to use a player who will soon leave as the main model for the new uniform.
Initially, Son Heung-min was expected to leave Tottenham in the summer transfer market. Tottenham has already not re-signed Son Heung-min at the end of last year, but only activated a one-year extension option in January this year. As Son Heung-min's contract period has been extended until the summer of 2026, the transfer market this summer has become the only opportunity to collect transfer fees through the sale of Son Heung-min.

It wasn't the end here. It has actively pursued the sale of Son Heung-min in the 2024-2025 season 'Captain', which has supported the team over the past decade. Saudi Arabian clubs also expressed their interest in recruiting Son Heung-min. Reporters Ben Jacobs, who has been credited with public confidence, said, `Saudi Arabia's Al-Kadishya, Al-Ahli and Al-Nasr are showing interest in Son Heung-min. He said he will pay up to 40 million euros (63.3 billion won) for the transfer fee.
In addition, Turkiye Fenerbahce, led by Jose Mourinho, also started recruiting Son Heung-min.
Then, chairman Levi raised Son Heung-min's transfer fee to £100 million to maximize profits. Tottenham News reported the claim of former Tottenham scout Brian King on the 24th, saying, `The Tottenham club will demand £100 million for Son Heung-min's transfer fee.'

However, the opinion that Son Heung-min should not be sent is gaining convincing power. Peter Orcu of Football Insider, a British media outlet, said, `Son Heung-min is still a player who can perform key duties within the team. If Son stays at Tottenham, Frank can quickly take control of the team and start the new season in a stable atmosphereHe also analyzed that sending Son Heung-min out could weaken Tottenham.
In this atmosphere, Tottenham suddenly put Son Heung-min as the main model for the new uniform. There is a possibility that the atmosphere in the team has changed. Perhaps Son Heung-min will still be wearing Tottenham's new uniform next season.
