He finished his first pre-season game, but doubts remain.
Questions about the future of Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur), who finished the preseason game with Reading, remain unanswered. Most predict that Tottenham will try to get Son Heung-min out before the closing of the transfer market this summer to collect the transfer fee income, but no full-fledged movement is still being detected. Thomas Frank, who has newly led Tottenham, is also raising questions.
Ahead of the Reading match, Frank said "The important thing is that Son Heung-min is here now. I'm not too worried about his future. Things to think about in five or six weeks." Then "I think the same question will come out next week, so I'll practice answering." he joked. Regarding the possibility of Son Heung-min leaving the team "If such a situation occurs, it will inevitably be tricky. Not just Son Heung-min, but if there are players who have played for a long time in a team, there will be decisions to be made from the team's point of view." Then "If someone wants to leave at a certain point, there must be a good reason. But in the end, the decision is for the club to make."

The British daily Standard said it seems extremely impossible for Tottenham to let Son Heung-min go ahead of the pre-season tour in Korea. However, Son's appearance reminds me of Harry Kane two years ago and wrote that Kane also played for Tottenham at the beginning of the pre-season but moved to Bayern Munich at the end of the transfer window.
In the end, Son Heung-min's future is expected to change as much as possible depending on the situation during the remaining transfer market. By analogy from coach Frank's interview, if Tottenham's desired level of offer comes, a transfer seems possible. There is a possibility that Tottenham will catch him depending on the pre-season and the situation in the transfer market, but at this point, more weight is put on the transfer side. The Sun, a British daily newspaper, predicted that Tottenham would never send Son Heung-min out at a cheap price.
Tottenham is working to reinforce its flanker in preparation for Son Heung-min's transfer. British Give Me Sports once said that Tottenham are looking for a new left-hander and are interested in signing Jack Grealish for Manchester City. It may be considered a normal search operation in terms of strengthening depth, but considering Son Heung-min's current situation, it is news that cannot be easily heard.

Interest in Son Heung-min is still hot. According to the British TeamTalk, multiple Saudi clubs reportedly offered Son an astronomical condition of 30 million euros (about 48.6 billion won) per year and 90 million euros (about 145.8 billion won) for three years. Son Heung-min is reportedly the best Asian player. You will earn one of the world's largest amounts of money.
British betting firm SkyBet recently offered a dividend of 4/9 for Son Heung-min to sign with the Saudi club before the closing of the transfer market this summer. It means that you can get 4 when you walk 9, and in percentage terms, it is a 69.2% probability. On the possibility of moving to Fenerbahce (Turkiye), known as a team that has shown interest in Son Heung-min, he predicted 15/8 (34.8%). The odds of going to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) are 3/1 (25%), and the chances of returning to his former team Leverkusen are 7/2 (22%). Manchester United's transfer possibility is expected to be 9/1 (10%) and Liverpool's 12/1 (7%). In particular, as LAFC, a member of MLS, moved to appoint Postecoglou, some predicted that Son Heung-min would follow suit. Son Heung-min reportedly received an offer from LAFC earlier, but refused. The proposal is expected to continue depending on the pre-season situation in the future.

Although he devoted 10 years to Tottenham, he seems to be unable to avoid the time to say goodbye in the end. Son Heung-min's interest in the future is bound to grow.
