It's a shock. Tottenham is already considering a new captain to succeed Son, as well as breaking up with Son Heung-min 'Captain'.
British media The Bootroom reported on the 15th (Korean time) 'Alasdair Gold said Son Heung-min is closer to leaving Tottenham than ever before'
Tottenham have opened a new era. He has broken up with coach Enze Postecoglou, who has led the team so far. Coach Postecoglou led Tottenham to the top of the Europa League (UEL), but his English Premier League (EPL) performance was hampered. Tottenham recorded only 11 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses (38 points) in 38 EPL games in the 2024-2025 season. It ranked 17th out of 20 teams. Tottenham made a decision. The head coach has been replaced. Thomas Frank was given a new baton. 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 remained stable in the middle.

The key is Son's future. Son Heung-min wore Tottenham's uniform through the transfer window in the summer of 2015. He played for Tottenham for more than a decade and devoted himself. However, this season, he left a regret in his personal record due to injuries. He scored seven goals in 30 EPL games during the 2024-2025 season. He scored 11 goals and 12 assists in 46 official matches, including three goals in 10 Europa League matches. It is the first time that Son Heung-min scored a single-digit score in the EPL since the 2015-2016 season (4 goals), the first season of Tottenham's transfer. However, he smiled broadly as he won the Europa League trophy. Son Heung-min reached the top for the first time in 15 seasons since taking the European first team stage in the German Bundesliga in the 2010-2011 season. Currently, he is known to be attracting attention from Saudi Arabia and MLS (major league Soccer).

The boot room says: 'Tottenham is entering a new era. In fact, Tottenham is moving in a new direction after the appointment of a new coach. This is likely to mean a reorganization of the squad. New recruits will be a top priority this summer. Son Heung-min could be the player to leave Tottenham. Son was a world-class player in his heyday. Unfortunately, there was a regret in the 2024-2025 season. Some urged the sale of Son Heung-min. According to Gold, Son is more open to leaving Tottenham than ever before.
Reporter Gold said "Son Heung-min wanted to achieve something, and he achieved it. I think it's quite important to look at the words that came out after the final. He also made it very clear to the Korean media. I think he stayed on the team for the trophy. Son Heung-min has now won the trophy. Obviously, Saudi Arabia will be very, very interested in recruiting Son Heung-min. We know how big he is. Of course he's a great player. Superstar."
The media referred to 'post Son Heung-min'. The boot room says, `If Son Heung-min leaves Tottenham, he will lose the legend of the team. Also, the argument is lost. Tottenham need a new captain. There is an interesting candidate. Postecoglou recognized Christian Romero, James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario as the leadership group. Romero and Madison served as vice-captain. Kevin Danso was also recognized for his leadership after joining Tottenham. Frank said he could make a big decision as soon as he took charge of Tottenham.
