Son Heung-min (Tottenham)'s future is still a question mark.
Tottenham News, which mainly delivers Tottenham's news, said on the 21st (Korean time) 'Son Heung-min is still very popular at Tottenham. But his influence has diminished. Son Heung-min is expected to remain in the team until the off-season Asian tour. However, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank's remarks could speed up Son's departure, the report said.
Tottenham won 2-0 in an off-season friendly match against Reading (division 3) at Select Carrying Stadium in Berkshire, England on the 19th. Tottenham won their first match under Frank. Son started the game on the bench. Christian Romero was the captain of the first half. Son Heung-min stepped on the ground at the start of the second half. Son Heung-min kicked the captain's armband in the second half.
Tottenham News reported 'Frank has yet to decide on the captain of the new season. He took the opportunity to support Son in his first press conference. However, the answer to the claim was less convincing. Frank was asked several times about Son's future. He praised Son's attitude in training, but gave no further certainty. Coach Frank has yet to decide on the captaincy for the new season. It said it would be decided in the coming days.'

The media reported that `Son Heung-min and Romero kicked the captain's armband half by half in an off-season friendly match. If Son stays, his captaincy will be maintained. But either way, uncertainty about the decision would have infuriated Son. Because Son Heung-min played for Tottenham for 10 years. Because I don't believe it will require discussion of the argument. If Son Heung-min leaves or Frank makes another decision, the spotlight will be on Son Heung-min. Frank has an important decision to make. It will not be an easy decision.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is currently receiving attention from Saudi Arabia, MLS (major league soccer) and Fenerbahce (Turkiye). He joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham. After Harry Kane (280 goals), Jimmy Greaves (268 goals), Bobby Smith (208 goals) and Martin Chivers (174 goals), he is ranked fifth in Tottenham's history. It also delivered 77 assists. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushcashi 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.
