Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur) clarified his will to stay in the English Premier League.
The Sun said on the 5th (Korea time) that 'LAFC of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) has selected Son Heung-min as a substitute for Olivier Giroud' but it is unlikely that Son Heung-min will join LAFC at this point, and LAFC will have to wait longer' The daily newspaper Mirror also wrote that `LAFC's proposal is likely to be ignored by Son Heung-min.'
Since last year, whether Son Heung-min will be transferred or not is a hot issue. Earlier this year, they agreed to extend their one-year contract with Tottenham, but the UK's eyes have been on the transfer since immediately after the season. The reason is that Tottenham only accumulated poor statistics due to injury and poor performance last season, and Tottenham is pushing for changes by recruiting Tomaser Frank after replacing Enze Postecoglou, who won the Europa League. Above all, the fact that this summer's transfer market is Tottenham's last chance to collect Son Heung-min's transfer fee is a big reason for putting weight on the transfer side. Some predict that Tottenham, who is scheduled to visit Korea in August, will first accompany Son Heung-min and then push for a transfer. The Mirror explained the atmosphere, saying that `Saudi Arabian League teams and Fenerbahce (Turkiye), led by Jose Mourinho, are showing interest in Son Heung-min'

But Son Heung-min seems to want to stay with Tottenham. The Sun said Son Heung-min, who is receiving 200,000 pounds a week, will return to the team for a healthy score next week and will also have a direct meeting with Frank.
The Mirror said that Frank, who led Brentford, is similar in style to his predecessor (Postecoglou). He said "My goal is to play aggressive and leading football. "Even if you look at the team's history, offensive soccer is the key" "There are so many players with offensive talent in the team. In the last two seasons, they have clearly shown their ability", he commented. Then "I want to further develop this kind of offensive football. You have to play aggressively in a sweatshirt situation. If you don't take this risk, you can't create anything." "It doesn't matter to me at all if I lose the ball while trying aggressively. Rather, it becomes more difficult if you don't try. If you don't take risks, you can't achieve results."

Looking at Frank's blueprint, Son Heung-min, the core of the offense, is a player who can be fully included in the new season's plan. The fact that Son Heung-min has played a central role in the team as captain cannot be ignored. In the situation of taking on a new team, the role of veteran Son Heung-min seems to be necessary to stably build tactics and tie up the team. However, given that Tottenham is focusing on change, the possibility of Frank's decision changing cannot be ruled out. This is why attention is bound to be paid to the meeting between Son Heung-min and Frank next week.
