Some argue that releasing Son Heung-min is a stupid decision. This is because Son Heung-min still has a lot of work to do among the new coaches and players.
London World claimed on the 27th (Korea time) "Thomas Frank has just been appointed to Tottenham Hotspur, but if he lets club captain Son Heung-min leave, he may make a fatal mistake that will determine his manager's career."
South Korea's national team captain Son Heung-min has only one year left until the end of his contract with Tottenham. Tottenham is said to be able to cash in Son Heung-min, Tottenham's legend in the transfer market this summer, with 127 goals in the English Premier League (EPL).
The reason is the lackluster performance last season. Son Heung-min scored only seven goals in the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season. It is said that the heyday has passed. Saudi Arabia and the Turkiye League are interested in him.
The media reported that Son Heung-min negotiated with Tottenham on a summer transfer, and clubs in the Saudi professional league are reportedly preparing to sign him"Turkiye's Fenerbahce is also interested, and the transfer fee is set at 26 million pounds (about 48.6 billion won)."
Tottenham have already fully recruited Matistel from Bayern Munich, and interest in Crystal Palace striker Eberechi Eze is also growing. Both of these players are Son's competitors for the position.
However, the media said that their recruitment does not mean that Son Heung-min should be sold.
"If Frank makes the decision to send Son Heung-min, it would be a ridiculous decision," London World said. "He has already been appointed amid controversy. It was because Enze Postecoglou, who had been supported by fans and players since winning the UEFA Europa League, joined the team at a time when he was dismissed."
Then "Son Heung-min's presence is essential for Frank to settle smoothly on the team."`"Son Heung-min is an influential figure in the squad, and it can be a very dangerous decision to let him go with anxiety being felt among some players after Postecoglou's dismissal."," he added.
If Frank is struggling at Tottenham early next season, he could need Son Heung-min's presence. As a captain, Son has played a role in relieving pressure by defending and praising his teammates in front of the media.
