If Son Heung-min leaves, a player who will be the next captain has appeared. However, in order to become a captain, he has to remain in the team for now.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 18th (Korea time) that Christian Romero is likely to be appointed captain if Son Heung-min leaves.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported 'When news of Son Heung-min's departure broke, Romero was offered the captain's armband at Tottenham. This can convince Romero to remain at Tottenham. Tottenham are ready to sell Son this summer. Son Heung-min is likely to move after the pre-season game against Newcastle. This could also affect Romero's future,' he said.

Son Heung-min has recently received great attention for his possible transfer. With one year left on the contract, Tottenham has not offered a long-term contract renewal, prompting a flurry of claims that the club could sell Son Heung-min on a large Saudi offer. Although he has not made a decision yet, it has also been reported that Son Heung-min will decide his future after the pre-season Asian tour match against Newcastle this coming summer.
If captain Son Heung-min leaves the team, Tottenham should decide on a new captain next season. Romero is said to be a strong candidate to replace the position, and it has been said that he has already been offered a position as captain.

Romero is a player who is enough to take over if Son Heung-min leaves. Romero, who moved to Tottenham in 2021, has been playing the main role at Tottenham since joining the team. In the 2023-2024 season, coach Enze Postecoglou has shown a stronger position since his appointment. Romero, who began playing in Postecoglou's tactics, began to play properly. Based on his aggressive defense ability, he pressured his opponent from the front and showed a stable defense from the back. Romero was still at the core of the team this season.
However, Romero must stay at Tottenham for now in order to take over as captain on behalf of Son Heung-min. Romero has already been rumored to transfer throughout this season. He is also on the phone with Atlético manager Diego Simeone, and is said to strongly want a transfer. Tottenham's Europa League victory seemed to change the situation, but it is reported that the situation is heading for a transfer again due to the replacement of Postecoglou. In the end, Romero's succession to the captaincy may not be possible until after the decision to remain.
Along with rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer, attention is also being paid to the captain of the next season. If Son Heung-min really leaves the team, attention is being paid to which player should bear the weight of the armband.
