In the end, Son Heung-min (Tottenham) holds the key.
British media Football London said on the 16th (Korea time) 'Thomas Frank, the new Tottenham manager, should form a strong squad. 'We need to see what can happen to the rest of the squad and each player,' he reported.
Tottenham opted for a new season change. He has broken up with coach Enze Postecoglou, who has led the team so far. Coach Postecoglou reached the top of the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season. However, he recorded only 11 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses (38 points) in 38 matches in the English Premier League. It ranked 17th out of 20 teams. Tottenham replaced Postecoglou and appointed Frank. Frank, a Danish coach, has been leading the team for seven years as an official coach since 2018 after serving as a head coach at Brentford 2. 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.

Football London predicted the future of 39 first team players who played for Tottenham in 2024-2025 season. Most of the key players, including Guglielmo Vicario, Christian Romero, Mickey van de Penn, Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogi, Archie Gray, James Maddison, Lucas Beribal and Dejan Kulusevski, were expected to stay. What stood out was Son Heung-min's future.
The media outlet said Son Heung-min has 12 months left on his contract with Tottenham. He did not maintain his best form in the 2024-2025 season. However, he created 23 offensive points in a total of 46 games. Frank will have a say in his plans for Son Heung-min. However, Son Heung-min is putting enough effort into determining his next goal. A lot can change depending on what offers come to him. It doesn't matter what he wants.
Son Heung-min has played for Tottenham since the 2015-2016 season. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the EPL joint top scorer (23 goals) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushkashi 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. Above all, he lifted the trophy in the Europa League in the 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. Son Heung-min is currently receiving attention from Saudi Arabia, MLS (major league Soccer), and Fenerbahce (Turkiye).
