"I would renew my contract with Son Heung-min for another year next summer."
There were shocking reports that Tottenham Hotspur could not let Son Heung-min go this summer and renew his contract for another year next summer.
It's very convincing. Tottenham failed to recruit Morgan Gibbs-White following Brian Mbormo in the transfer market this summer, causing a setback in their plans to reorganize their power. This is because it is possible to raise the transfer fee of Son Heung-min, who has already fallen to the bottom by catching veteran Son Heung-min, who has already proven his skills, while maintaining his team's power.
Tottenham Hotspur News, which is in charge of Tottenham news, reported on the 27th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min is likely to sign a new contract at Tottenham, where Thomas Frank is preparing for the new season'
The media covered Son Heung-min's 'Tottenham renewal theory' through an interview with former Tottenham scout Brian King.
First of all, it is true that Son Heung-min is currently likely to transfer. Tottenham Hotspur News reported: `Son Heung-min has been a key player for Tottenham for the past decade, but there are speculations that he may have already played his last game for Tottenham. Since the Saudi Arabian League's interest in the early transfer market disappeared, the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) LA FA is currently the only one to maintain its interest. Some say it's time to leave the team, as Son Heung-min showed poor performance last season and has already contributed to ending his team's long thirst for victory.'
However, Son Heung-min's contract will expire at the end of this season, saying that there is a possibility of staying as the team's situation has changed recently. However, the possibility of staying at Tottenham has not been ruled out yet, he said, expressing the opinion of the former scout king that Tottenham should renew Son Heung-min's contract.
King said "If I were a Tottenham club, I think I would let Son Heung-min stay for now this season and renew his contract for another year next summer. Even if Son Heung-min goes to another team at that time, Tottenham has already offered to renew the contract, so the transfer fee will be higher."

Coach Frank also stressed the need for Son Heung-min's help. "From Frank's point of view, I think he needs all the help he can in the first season. If Son Heung-min remains on my side, it can be of great help. I personally hope Son will remain at Tottenham because he is the club's captain and the most popular player at Tottenham.
It cannot be viewed only by the simple wish of an individual. Looking at the market landscape and Tottenham's current situation, Son Heung-min's chances of staying are even greater.
For now, the transfer market has cooled down. Initially, three Saudi Arabian clubs (Al-Nasr, Al-Ahli, and Al-Kadisiya) and Turkiye Fenerbahce were interested in Son's transfer as potential buyers. However, Tottenham has been passive in transfer negotiations, trying to make sure to participate Son Heung-min in order to prevent a reduction in profits from the Asian tour schedule scheduled for the end of July. At the same time, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy tried to get Son Heung-min's transfer fee as high as possible.

In the end, with Fenerbahce at the forefront, Saudi Arabian clubs have now withdrawn their recruitment plans. LAFC is the only potential buyer left at the moment. LA FC is expected to offer a transfer fee of 15-20 million pounds (about 27.9 billion won to 37.2 billion won). British media, including the Mirror and Daily Mail, reported on the 25th that `LAFC is preparing a proposal worth at least 1,500 to £20 million.'
This is almost halved compared to the amount of £40 million offered by Saudi Arabian clubs at the beginning of the transfer market. Even Fenerbahce had an atmosphere that considered about 30 million euros (about 48.7 billion won). At this time, Levy was expecting at least £40 million from the sale of Son Heung-min.
However, as chairman Levi deliberately delayed transfer negotiations to maximize profits on the Asian tour, interest in Son Heung-min fell significantly. At the same time, the expected transfer fee is currently down to up to £20 million. It is questionable whether Chairman Levi, who has a strong merchant temperament, will try to send Son Heung-min, who still has high marketing value, after receiving the money.
In addition, Tottenham's successive failures in the summer transfer market may affect Son Heung-min's stay. Coach Frank tried to bring in a lot of players, envisioning a new power after Tottenham's appointment. However, recruitment continues to be frustrated. In his time at Brentford, Brian Mbommo, considered the top priority, left for Manchester United, while Antoine Semeno, who was promoted as an alternative, re-signed with Bournemouth.

Morgan Gibbs-White, who even offered a buyout amount and was on the verge of being recruited, was also blocked by his original team, Nottingham Forest. Tottenham attempted to recruit Gibbs-White by invoking a £60 million buyout in early July.
At the time, Fabrizio Romano, a reporter in the first tier of the European transfer market, announced that Gibbs-White was going to Tottenham, even floating his unique transfer signing, "HERE WE GO". There was only a medical test left.
However, the Nottingham club put the brakes on this. The problem was that Tottenham accurately suggested the buyout amount, which was included as a confidentiality clause for the contract between the player and the club. Nottingham filed a complaint with the EPL secretariat, saying Tottenham found out the confidentiality clause by illegal means. Eventually, transfer negotiations were suspended, and Nottingham officially announced a three-year contract renewal with Gibbs-White until 2028 on the 27th. Tottenham are a disgrace.
As a result, Frank's plan to reorganize his power collapsed from the beginning. For coach Frank, who has to rebound in the EPL rankings and play the UEFA Champions League in the new season, one player is regrettable. It may not be a reasonable choice to send Son Heung-min at a time like this.
In the end, Son Heung-min is likely to be at the center of full-fledged transfer discussions again from early August after completing the Asian tour. However, if the expected transfer fee revenue is low and Tottenham cannot prevent the loss of Tottenham's power, Tottenham may change its position and actively pursue Son Heung-min's stay. Attention is focusing on August to see what changes will happen to Son Heung-min's future.
