How will Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur)'s future unfold.

Controversy is brewing over Son Heung-min's future, whose contract with Tottenham expires in June next year. British media speculate that Tottenham will put Son Heung-min on the transfer market after the Korean tour next month. It was only a poor performance in the Premier League last season, and it is cited as an opportunity for Tottenham to earn transfer fees due to the age of mid-30s and the remaining contract period of one year. However, there are opinions that Son Heung-min is still needed in that Tottenham is a team composed mainly of young players and that it starts the new season under Thomas Frank.

Football London, a British football media outlet, put Son Heung-min at the top of the list in `9 important contract decisions that Frank has to make this summer.' According to the media, "'As Tottenham captain Son Heung-min's future is uncertain, it is natural that it is the most important choice' ' Captain Son Heung-min, who has played for Tottenham for 10 years and won the European competition for the first time in 41 years, accepted the club's option to extend his contract earlier this year. Now he is qualified to decide his own future, he said. Then 'Korean superstars can play an important role when they meet director Frank. Frank added that he will explain Son's role at the start of the pre-season.

Son Heung-min has shown his affection for Tottenham. The affection gained by dedication as a captain is considerable. However, it is fueling curiosity by leaving a nuance of greeting that seems to imply goodbye to the team in the final match of last season. With teams from various leagues such as Germany and Saudi Arabia showing interest, it is unclear whether they will choose to stay at Tottenham or take on a new challenge. However, even if Son Heung-min chooses to stay, it may be the best option to leave the team in the end if he confirms that he is not included in Frank's new season plan.

In addition to Son Heung-min, Football London listed Mikey Moore, Rodrigo Bentancourt, Christian Romero, Yves Bissouma, Ben Damis and Hisalisson as players for Frank to decide whether to renew his contract.
