Some argue that Tottenham's captaincy led by Son Heung-min could be replaced.
Football London reported on the 8th (Korea time) "Coach Thomas Frank will be forced to make changes to Tottenham's leadership group depending on the possibility of Son Heung-min and Christian Romero's transfer this summer"
Enze Postecoglou, who took over as Tottenham manager in June 2023, appointed Son Heung-min as captain and Christian Romero and James Maddison as vice-captain. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario then joined the group. However, it remains to be seen how the captaincy team will be reorganized under new coach Thomas Frank.
Ahead of the upcoming 2025-2026 season, Son Heung-min is embroiled in transfer rumors. Son Heung-min is said to be more open to the possibility of leaving Tottenham than ever.
Christian Romero is also constantly linked with Spain's Atletico Madrid.

Coach Frank is likely to want Romero to stay as he plays an important role in defense. But if both Son Heung-min and Romero leave the team before the summer transfer window closes, Frank will have to rearrange the entire captaincy, as well as the new captaincy.
The media mentioned three players as the new captain.
The first is Dejan Klusevski. He has demonstrated his leadership by wearing the Swedish national team captain's armband for the past 12 months.
The media outlet said that although Klusevski did not captain the club, he has been Tottenham's leader in terms of performance"He has great ambition for the club and a frank personality, and he is a person who matches the captain's armband as he certainly occupies the main position in the team."
The second is Rodrigo Bentancur. He has played a central role in the team's midfield and leading young midfielders.
When Vicario, Romero and Son Heung-min were on the bench against Crystal Palace in May this year and Madison was absent due to injury, Postecoglou left the captain's armband to Bentancourt, not Ben Davies. This shows how trusted Bentancur was by the coach.
The last is Pedro Porro. He was listed in almost every game last season and was one of the few players to have played the season without injury. This is considered a very meaningful record considering Tottenham's injury.
According to the media, "Poro is often included in the squad and has a strong leadership tendency" and "If Son Heung-min or Romero leaves, Klusevski, Bentancur and Porro can become key leaders in the first season under Frank."," he said.
