There is a 'absurd remark' directed at Son Heung-min (Tottenham).
The British media team talk on the 30th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min is undoubtedly the best Korean player of all time and the best player in Asian soccer history. One of the best players in Tottenham's uniform. However, it was reported that Tottenham should make a ruthless request to Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min is currently receiving attention from Saudi Arabia, MLS (major league Soccer), and Fenerbahce (Turkiye). He joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham. After Harry Kane (280 goals), Jimmy Greaves (268 goals), Bobby Smith (208 goals) and Martin Chivers (174 goals), he is ranked fifth in Tottenham's history. It also delivered 77 assists. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushcashi 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 (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season.

Team Talk is 'Son Heung-min won the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season and won his first major championship in Tottenham's uniform. It was a successful season, but he struggled personally. Due to injury, he played 46 games and scored only 11 goals. Son Heung-min has one more season left on his contract with Tottenham. According to reporter Dan Kilpatrick, Tottenham would be wise to approve the sale very appropriately and brutally.
Reporter Kilpatrick said "He's now won the trophy. I met the moment. There is one year left on the contract. It is no exaggeration to say that there was a downward trend last season. Even considering the team's conditions, he was not Son Heung-min he knew before. I think it could be reasonable for him to move after the Korean tour. That is the point. They won't let him go before then."
Tottenham will face Newcastle on August 3 at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
