In the end, Tottenham seems to be choosing to break up with Son Heung-min Captain.
Football Insider reported on the 15th (Korea time) 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 Morgan 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."
Son's future is a hot potato. Son Heung-min's position in Tottenham, which was Untouchable, has also changed. Public opinion continued that Tottenham, which ranked 17th last season, should now make a new edition, and there were voices calling for Son Heung-min to be sorted out. Tottenham are speeding up changes, replacing manager Enze Postecoglou and bringing in Frank. After completely recruiting Matistel on the left wing, Son Heung-min's main position, he also brought Kudus. Kudus can play not only the right winger, but also the left wing, the central attacking midfielder, etc. Kudu, who left Ajax for West Ham in 2022, is a special wing with 65 appearances in the English Premier League and 13 goals and 12 assists.
With the recruitment of Kudus, Son Heung-min's position seems to have further decreased. On the 12th, England 'The Standard said 'Cudus' joining is the first step toward Tottenham without Son Heung-min' Tottenham is expected to use Tel on the left and Kudus on the right in the new season. Son Heung-min's position will narrow down. That doesn't mean Son Heung-min's value has decreased. Son Heung-min can rotate on the left wing with Tel in 'The Standard'. This is not a bad thing. It's because it's hard to say he's ready to start with Tel's performance last season. Then 'Son Heung-min is still enjoying immense popularity. He is also the captain and the longest-serving player in the team. He still plays an important role off the ground. Although the playing time will be somewhat limited, rather, if Tottenham still relies heavily on Son Heung-min, that's more of a concern.
Son's future is likely to be outlined this week. Journalist Alesdare Gold, who is familiar with Tottenham's news, commented on Son Heung-min's future through 'Football London'. He 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.'"
"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.
