Son Heung-min came back to Tottenham. The moment to decide the future is approaching.

Tottenham announced Son Heung-min's return on the club's official SNS on the 12th (Korea time), saying 'Son Heung-min, welcome back'

With the addition of Son Heung-min, Tottenham will have all its players in the squad. Tottenham recently reportedly conducted their first training under Thomas Frank. It is known that only one player, except Son Heung-min, returned to the squad and trained. Son Heung-min's return to the club was delayed due to his personal schedule. Football London in England said 'He is being delayed in his return due to a pre-arranged schedule with his family, and the club is aware of this.'

With Son Heung-min returning, Tottenham begins its full-fledged pre-season. However, Son Heung-min is approaching the time to make important decisions along with the pre-season. It's a matter of where to go. Son Heung-min, who became a figure to go down in Tottenham history by lifting the trophy for the first time since joining Tottenham last season, is in a situation where he has to think about the future with a year before his contract expires by summer 2026.

Son Heung-min is expected to be able to decide his concerns about the future more specifically after his meeting with coach Frank. Son Heung-min has not been able to face Frank, who replaced Enze Postecoglou during the break. Local media in the UK said Son Heung-min could talk with Frank about his future role and future course of action.

However, Frank is expected to actively catch Son Heung-min. Tottenham Hotspur News reported that `Frank has to make big decisions,' adding that `Players like Son Heung-min and Christian Romero will be more important to Frank. Both players are expected to leave this summer. Son Heung-min has been highly regarded for the past two years as the captain, and Romero has an outstanding influence. Frank will be desperate to protect both players to maintain Tottenham's continuity, he said.

Rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer continue to emerge after the end of the 2024-2025 season. British media reported that Son may have played his last game for Tottenham. Chairman Daniel Levy said Son is preparing to transfer to the club, adding, `Tottenham is considering alternative resources for Son. If Leroy Sane comes, he will take Son's place, and Jack Grealish is also known as a candidate for recruitment.

The British Telegraph said Son Heung-min could be a player who would earn a large transfer fee from the club to raise money for the transfer, adding, `Tottenham can collect the transfer fee through Son Heung-min. There is now one year left on the contract. Saudi Arabian clubs have been paying attention to Son Heung-min, who has a big fan base in Asia, for a long time.

It's not the first time I've been interested in transferring. Saudi Arabia has already steadily wanted Son Heung-min since the summer of 2023. Son Heung-min had this news just before the Europa League final. At that time, Britain's TBR Football also said, `Son Heung-min is likely to remain at Tottenham in the next season, but his future could vary greatly depending on the next coach.' There were not many rumors of a transfer as Son Heung-min is still likely to remain at Tottenham. However, it can vary depending on who becomes the coach. Saudi Arabian teams are in contact with Son's close aides to recruit Son. Son Heung-min may leave, but he may stay. It is not yet confirmed.

British media reported 'Saudi clubs have been watching Son Heung-min since last summer. Son has been rumored to be a transfer in recent months, and as his contract with Tottenham expires in 2025, Saudi clubs hope to sign him through a free transfer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham extend his contract with him' he once expressed Saudi interest. CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs said about Son's proposal last summer that Son was offered a total of more than 19 billion euros in annual salary, saying, `Son Heung-min was offered a contract with an annual salary of 30 million euros (about 48 billion euros) every season for four years by the Saudi Arabian League RT Hard.' Son Heung-min reportedly refused and stayed at Tottenham.

There are also new destinations. It's the United States. Football London is understood to be interested in advancing to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS). Saudi clubs are still interested in it as well,' he explained. If Son Heung-min heads to the U.S. stage, he will definitely receive a lot of attention for the Asian star's trip to the U.S. following Lionel Messi last year.

There is also a prospect that Son Heung-min's future will be decided after the pre-season tour of Korea. The British press was no longer Son Heung-min of the past, even considering the team situation. This summer, it could be the right choice for all parties for him to leave the team after the Korean tour is over.' The time for a decision is now approaching.
