"You can play an important role in the next season as well."
Tottenham Hotspur coach Thomas Frank, who virtually failed to reorganize his power due to a series of failed recruitment of the summer transfer market, eventually caught Son Heung-min's trouser leg 'Captain'. If even Son Heung-min leaves the team, he cannot avoid weakening his power in the new season. In media interviews, he expressed a lot of expectations for Son Heung-min, which can be seen as a signal to remain indirectly.
British media Evening Standard reported on the 29th (Korea time) 'Frank is trying to play an important role in Son Heung-min next season as well' Son Heung-min has played for Tottenham for the past 10 years, especially leading them to win the Europa League last season. He won the Europa League for the first time in 41 years at Tottenham. It was predicted that he could leave Tottenham after this season. 'LA FC is very interested in Son Heung-min. However, coach Frank reported that Son showed no signs of leaving the team in the summer.
Initially, Chairman Daniel Levy and head coach Frank tried to transfer Son Heung-min from the summer transfer market and create a new round. However, Tottenham failed to recruit a player properly in the transfer market this summer, and their plans went wrong.
The plan to sell Son Heung-min is also not in a smooth mood. As chairman Levi delayed negotiations to include Son Heung-min in Tottenham's Asian tour schedule, all potential buyers who appeared early in the market are missing. Following Saudi Arabian clubs armed with strong financial power, Turkiye Fenerbahce also shook hands.
At this point, LA FC is the only club showing interest in Son Heung-min. However, it is never easy for Son Heung-min to move to LA FC. First of all, the size of LA FC is a problem. Son Heung-min's transfer fee is only 15 million pounds (about 27.8 billion won).

There is a high possibility that Son Heung-min will not be able to pay enough salary. Currently, Son Heung-min, who receives the highest annual salary of £190,000 at Tottenham, is about £9.88 million (about 18.3 billion won) when converted into annual salary when he moves to LA FC. It's about 13 million dollars in dollars.
Therefore, Son Heung-min is known to ask for at least $15 million to $20 million. However, there is a high possibility that LA FC will not be able to handle it. Global soccer media FourFourTwo expressed a negative outlook on the 28th, saying, "(Unlike Saudi Arabia), MLS, which does not have national support, has limitations in meeting Son Heung-min's needs.'

In the end, Tottenham is likely not to complete Son Heung-min's transfer work properly. Coach Frank is now reaching out to Son Heung-min again as the situation has changed so rapidly. In a recent interview with the Man In Blazers, a global media outlet, Frank said, `Son Heung-min's achievements are amazing. He is a player who can play a very important role in Tottenham. He has a good mentality and encourages players. I have high expectations for that."
Unlike coach Frank's ambiguous position on Son Heung-min's future, he used the words "Expectations are high" in this interview. It can be seen as an expression that he wants to play an important role in the team next season. Son Heung-min is likely to become the center of Tottenham again.
