No matter how much manager Thomas Frank rolls his head, he can't find a left winger to replace Son Heung-min at Tottenham Hotspur now. Eventually, he is expected to start important games again. In the end, Son Heung-min is likely to secure the main position with his skills in the new season.
The value of Son Heung-min, who has devoted himself to Tottenham for the past decade and has risen to the rank of the team's 'legend', is being re-examined. This is because Chairman Daniel Levy is leading, and new coach Frank is trying to take over and erase Son Heung-min, but he has not found a clear alternative. In the end, the "1st tier reporter" who is familiar with Tottenham's news predicted that Son Heung-min will play as the main left winger at the UEFA Super Cup next month.

`Although Son Heung-min's future is still unclear, he will still remain in the team and start against PSG, which is the premise that he has recovered his physical condition. Son Heung-min, Morgan Gibbs-White and Brennan Johnson will take the second term.
It is a shocking prospect. This is because Tottenham's secretive progress so far could be interpreted as a failure in the end.
Son Heung-min has been a key striker for the team for 10 years since moving from Leverkusen in Germany to Tottenham in the summer of 2015. As a member of Tottenham, he scored 173 goals in 454 games from 2024 to 2025 season. In addition, he was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushkashi 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.

Despite these achievements, however, Tottenham has taken an attitude that seems to have forgotten respect for Son Heung-min. At the end of last year, when the contract was renewed, it did not make any move, but it was not until January this year that the option to extend the contract for one year was activated. The plan is to use Son Heung-min to earn transfer fees.
In the end, Son Heung-min was embroiled in various transfer rumors as soon as he gave the team the trophy. Three professional teams from Saudi Arabia, Turkiye Fenerbahce and U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) LA FC showed interest in recruiting Son Heung-min.

Considering this situation, reporter Gold predicted that Son Heung-min is likely to play as Tottenham's main winger again under Frank. He included Son Heung-min as the left winger, announcing Tottenham's expected best 11 for the UEFA Super Cup.
It was based on the 4-2-3-1 formation that Frank usually uses. Dominic Solanke is the one-top, followed by Son Heung-min, Gibbs-White and Brennan Johnson in the second line.
He then deployed Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Beribal as defensive midfielders. Destiny Udoji, Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn, Pedro Porro, and Guglielmo Vicario will take charge of the four-back defense line. This is Tottenham's best performance at this point.

It is Frank's debut in Tottenham's first official game. Here, if Son Heung-min starts as expected by Football London and contributes greatly to the victory, coach Frank will have no choice but to use Son Heung-min as a central striker in the new season. Assuming that he has recovered his normal condition, there is currently no player to replace Son Heung-min at Tottenham. Chairman Levy and director Frank failed. Son Heung-min is irreplaceable.
