"Tottenham will let Son Heung-min decide his own future."

Are you trying to avoid criticism for selling the legend. Or is it a consideration to give Son a chance to stay in the team.

There are signs of change in Tottenham Hotspur's stance. Initially, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was in a position to sell Son Heung-min in the transfer market this summer, the last chance to collect the transfer fee. As love calls poured out from three professional teams in Saudi Arabia and Fenerbahce, Turkiye, also showed specific interest, they added a price tag of '100 million'.




Then Tottenham is now in the position of 'I'll give Son Heung-min a choice'

British media Football London reported on Tottenham's change of position on the 30th (Korea time). The media outlet said, `Son Heung-min was in a similar situation to Harry Kane in the past. As Tottenham launched an option to extend the contract earlier this year, Son's contract with Son remains one year away. Son, who has achieved his dream (by winning the Europa League), is highly likely to transfer this summer. "As Son has devoted himself to the team for the past 10 years, Tottenham will let Son decide the future for himself rather than going on a direct sale."

Son Heung-min left Leverkusen and joined Tottenham in the summer 2015 transfer market. Son Heung-min, who was selected by Mauricio Pochettino at the time, had difficulty adapting to the team in the beginning, but soon became a key offensive resource of the team and established himself as the best winger in the EPL.

Son Heung-min, who played in 454 games for Tottenham, scored 173 goals and 101 assists to rank sixth in the club's history and fifth in the most goals scored. From 2023, he became the first Asian captain in Tottenham's history. In the 2021-2022 season, he won the first EPL scoring title (joint) from Asia, showing a perfect performance to be called 'Tottenham Legend'.

The reigning champion was the UEFA Europa League title in the 2024-2025 season. Until now, Tottenham has been terribly unable to win the championship. Since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season, he has not won the trophy in 17 years. Because of Tottenham's jinx, many players declared 'Taltenham' and left. Even Kane, a former franchise star called the `Tottenham's greatest striker in history,' left for Bayern Munich in 2023, saying he would win with his hands up.

But Son kept his team until the end. In the end, he won the Europa League as a captain in the 2024-2025 season. In other words, it was an achievement that will remain in Tottenham's history.




However, Chairman Levi was not responding at all to Son's commitment. Even at the end of last year, when all local media in the UK were expecting to renew their contracts, they did not renew their contracts with Son Heung-min, but only invoked the option of a one-year extension that the club had in January this year. It is evaluated that this was not to catch Son Heung-min, but to confirm his popularity in the January transfer market and to generate transfer fees.

However, as Son's transfer is just around the corner, sending Son Heung-min to the U.K. could be a bigger burden under new coach Thomas FrankThere has been a steady stream of criticism that ' There's even room for a bounce back, like Mohammed SalahThere was also an opinion that "

In the end, Tottenham seems to have resolved its position of ' adherence to sale' and passed Son Heung-min's decision on whether to stay in the team. The future course of action is expected to be decided in the interview with coach Frank. If coach Frank promises to give Son enough roles and persuades him to stay, Son Heung-min is also likely to remain for another season.
