As expected, it's like Tottenham.

Son Heung-min's uncertain future continues. Unlike the outpouring of articles, Son Heung-min's future remains uncertain. The reason has been revealed. Matt Law of England 'Telegraph' said on the 21st (Korea time) that there is a key player clause in the background that Son Heung-min's transfer this summer was not decided for sure. Tottenham will tour Asia in Hong Kong and Seoul this summer. After meeting with Arsenal in Hong Kong, he moved to Korea to play a Coupang Play series with Newcastle. Tottenham have consistently made huge profits by visiting South Korea over the past few years.

The Telegraph said `Son Heung-min's participation directly affects the tour's profits.' If Son Heung-min is removed from the Seoul tour list, Tottenham will lose 75% of its game allowance. Even if Son Heung-min accompanies him, his profits will be halved if he does not play in the game. The only reason Tottenham is coming to Asia is because of money. However, it is difficult to accept the fact that Son Heung-min is not played and the profit is missed in front of Tottenham, especially Daniel Levy. The Telegraph said that it is virtually impossible for Tottenham to transfer Son Heung-min before the Asian tour because of these provisions.

As it was the first game since the break, it was not 100% of the appearance. Son Heung-min failed to score an offensive point.
The Telegraph predicted that discussions on Son Heung-min's future could take place only after Tottenham returned to the UK after completing its Asian tour schedule. After the last season, Son told his teammates and staff that he was ready to leave"I left an impression", but predicted that it is unlikely to leave Tottenham in the transfer market this summer.

Considering the two weeks left from the actual return to the opening, it is inevitably burdensome for Son Heung-min to take on a new challenge. Furthermore, the World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. will be held in 2026. For Son Heung-min, who dreams of finishing the World Cup in the last World Cup, it is important to build his body in a stable environment.

Perhaps because of this atmosphere, Football London's Alessdair Gold predicted that Son Heung-min will play in the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain. The Super Cup, in which the European Champions League winner and the Europa League winner face off, will be held next month. PSG and Tottenham will have a match.

As it was the first game since the break, it was not 100% of the appearance. Son Heung-min failed to score an offensive point.
Gold said, `Son Heung-min's future is still unclear, but if he stays in the team and recovers his physical condition, he will start against PSG. Dominic Solanke will be at the forefront, and Son Heung-min will take the second term with Morgan Gibbs-White and Brennan Johnson.'

Apart from such reports, concerns about Son Heung-min's performance continue to emerge. Son Heung-min was substituted at the start of the second half in a friendly match against Reading, a member of the English League One (third division) at Select Carrying Stadium in Berkshire, England, on the 19th and stayed on the ground until the end of the game. As it was the first game since the break, it was not 100% of the appearance. Son Heung-min failed to score an offensive point.

Initially, Son Heung-min's future was likely to be outlined last weekend. Gold said 'It has been confirmed that he will participate in the Korean tour under the recent contract, but I wonder if he has had an interview with manager Thomas Frank. The longer we talk about renewing the contract or staying, the closer we feel the possibility of a transfer, what do you think?I was asked '.




Gold said 'Son Heung-min joined Tottenham only on Friday, delaying his departure due to a pre-agreed family commitment. On the first day, he took various tests, including physical strength and blood tests. After that, he must have played Thomas Frank's 1km test run, which made the players difficult, and added, "'If you look at this trend, you might think it's too early for Frank and Son Heung-min to talk about their future.'"

'captain" Son Heung-min played his first pre-season game in Tottenham's uniform. Son Heung-min was substituted at the start of the second half in a friendly match against Reading from England League One (third division) at Select Carrying Stadium in Berkshire, England, on the 19th (Korea time) and stayed on the ground until the end of the game. As it was the first game since the break, it was not 100% of the appearance. Son Heung-min failed to score an offensive point.
"From Frank's point of view, he will try to check his physical condition and performance with his own eyes before deciding on his future course of performance," he said. "Personally, I think the final decision should be up to Son Heung-min." He played for Tottenham for 10 years and showed amazing dedication. If Son Heung-min wants to fill the rest of his contract, he deserves it. If you want to transfer, you should respect that option and examine it in detail.

Finally, Gold should look into whether there is a contractual obligation clause for Son Heung-min to participate in the Korean tour. If Son Heung-min transfers before the tour, there could be financial disadvantages 'Frank's first press conference on Friday. At that time, I will be able to explain it more clearly.

Frank's first press conference, which he expected, was consistent with an ambiguous attitude. At a press conference against Reading held at Tottenham Hotspur Training Center in London on the 19th, coach Frank said, `Son Heung-min has been here for 10 years and has finally won the trophy he deserves (the Europa League). It's a very important player for the team and the club." He then trained well and will play in Saturday's game (against Reading). I'm very happy about it."

'captain" Son Heung-min played his first pre-season game in Tottenham's uniform. Son Heung-min was substituted at the start of the second half in a friendly match against Reading from England League One (third division) at Select Carrying Stadium in Berkshire, England, on the 19th (Korea time) and stayed on the ground until the end of the game. As it was the first game since the break, it was not 100% of the appearance. Son Heung-min failed to score an offensive point.
Coach Frank said, `Now the player is doing his best and training well, and he can play tomorrow. If a player has been in a club for a long time, the club will always have to make a decision." "I'm not too worried because Son Heung-min is currently in the team. Let's think about it in five to six weeks. "I'll practice answering at the press conference."

So Reading was important. As it was the first game, it was important to make a strong first impression. Son Heung-min received his trademark number seven in the preseason. Son Heung-min, who was deployed in the second half, kicked the captain's armband. It was located on the left side, which was its original position. He tried to break through one-on-one and cross several times, but was blocked by the opponent's defense. He looked lethargic. The shot hit in the 27th minute of the second half went over the crossbar, and the control was regrettable in the process of penetrating after breaking down the defense line in the 34th minute. Overall, the slump that has continued since last season has been repeated.

Football London gave Son five points, the lowest rating in the team, saying, `Son Heung-min seemed to be out of touch.' Then 'It was sluggish. Overall, the touch looked very dull and one difficult shot went wide of the net. TBR Football also showed Son Heung-min's lack of sense. There were a few disturbing touches and scenes of excessive ball driving 'Tottenham plans to sell Son Heung-min when an appropriate offer comes, and the performance he showed in the match against Reading seems to have revealed some of the reasons why'

'captain" Son Heung-min played his first pre-season game in Tottenham's uniform. Son Heung-min was substituted at the start of the second half in a friendly match against Reading from England League One (third division) at Select Carrying Stadium in Berkshire, England, on the 19th (Korea time) and stayed on the ground until the end of the game. As it was the first game since the break, it was not 100% of the appearance. Son Heung-min failed to score an offensive point.
Rather, Kudus's performance, which was considered Son Heung-min's replacement, was remarkable and relatively contrasted. Kudus made a sharp play on the day. It served as the starting point for Tottenham's two goals on the day. In the fourth minute of the second half, Kudus scored a sharp cross that hit Luka Vushkovic on the head. Will Rankshire, who was jumping in, connected with a header and scored the first goal. Four minutes later, Buschkovic finished the ball given by Kudus with a non-stop left-footed shot. Football London was an impressive debut. He beat defenders several times with spectacular touches, and was involved in both goals. He praised the team for its potential to improve its performance, giving it the highest rating of nine points.

After the game 'Football Insider' quoted Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson's remarks as saying 'Tottenham is set to make a decision on Son Heung-min's future, and negotiations between the player himself and the club will proceed' Robinson appeared on the media's podcast 'Inside Talk'" As Tottenham advanced to the European Champions League, it is necessary to expand the team", he said. `If Son Heung-min decides that 'now is the time to leave' and delivers his intention to transfer to the club, Tottenham will respect that decision and negotiate in a way that benefits as much as possible.'

Football Insider reported earlier that `Tottenham is working on the foundation for Son Heung-min's transfer.' Football Insider reported this in an interview with Mick Brown, who has been a senior scout for Manchester United, Tottenham and Sunderland in the past. Football Insider said `Brown still maintains close relationships with his former clubs.'

Football Insider quoted Brown as saying that `Tottenham is ready to take offers on Son Heung-min, who is drawing attention from Saudi Arabia and the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs.' Coach Thomas Frank then said, `He is preparing for a future without Son Heung-min.'

"Tottenham is ready to send Son Heung-min this summer," Brown said. Looking at Tottenham's moves, they all seem to be ready to go in a new direction. We've got Kudus, and we're looking at Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze." "They are not in the same position as Son Heung-min, but Thomas seems to think that he can strengthen his attacking options and replace Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a legend of Tottenham, but time comes to everyone in the end." When a reasonable offer comes, Tottenham will be happy to send it, and Son Heung-min will also seek new opportunities."

Tottenham fan site 'Hospers HQ' also 'Son Heung-min's future is uncertain again' The media reported that "'Son Heung-min was a key member of the Europa League's victory and ranked first in scoring contribution in the English Premier League last season, but suffered a sharp decline in the second half of the season due to injuries and poor physical strength.'" In the end, the club and Son Heung-min are likely to move to Saudi Arabia or Turkiye for a big salary contract after spending the last season together until the summer of 2025 when the contract expires."

Tottenham's other fan community 'Spurs Web' even argued that the captain's armband should be deprived at all. The media outlet said `Christian Romero should be Tottenham's new captain. It doesn't make sense for coach Frank to appoint Son Heung-min as captain. It will be difficult to be rewarded with a new contract unless he improves his skills compared to last season' and added, `There is no doubt that Son has contributed tremendously to Tottenham's team in the past two seasons, but he is not a big voice leader on the field.'

Once the Telegraph reported, it became clear that Son's future deadlines were after the Asian tour. For now, it seems likely to remain.
