The time of destiny is approaching.

Son Heung-min left for England on the 10th (Korean time) after his vacation. Son Heung-min will immediately join Tottenham and start the pre-season. Tottenham started its first training session on the 6th. Tottenham released on its official channel 'The first squad to prepare for the 2025-2026 season returned to the team's training ground on the 5th, 45 days after their best night in Bilbao'

In the first training session, key resources such as Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Beribal, Dejan Kulusevski and Jed Spence, as well as players who returned from loan, including Yang Min-hyuk, Jamie Donley, Josh Keeley and George Abbott, participated. Coach Thomas Frank has dominated the team from the outset with intense training. With the rest of the key members joining Tottenham one after another, it is Son Heung-min who is also drawing attention.




Son Heung-min is at a crossroads. Son Heung-min finally escaped from the military in the 2024-2025 season. I succeeded in winning my dream. lifted the Europa League trophy. Son Heung-min won a major for the first time in his career. Son Heung-min, who led Tottenham to its first win in 17 years and the first European stage win in 41 years, made his position clear as a living legend for Tottenham in name and reality. Unlike Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, and Luka Modric, who left for the championship, Son Heung-min remained at Tottenham until the end.

Son Heung-min has achieved many honors, including becoming the first Asian top scorer in the English Premier League. He won the FIFA (International Football Federation) Puskas Award, 4 EPL Player of the Month Awards, and 9 Best Footballer Asian Awards, which are given to players who scored the best goals of the year in 2020. Including the awards that were not listed, he has had a brighter career than anyone else.

All of this was accomplished at Tottenham. Son Heung-min, who left Leverkusen in Germany in 2015 and wore an England Tottenham uniform, has been the team's flagship for 10 years. In 454 appearances, the sixth-most in Tottenham's history, he scored 173 goals, the fifth-most. Help is proudly number one.




However, Son Heung-min is also realizing the weight of time. He failed to score double digits last season. The double-digit scoring record, which has continued since the 2016-2017 season, closed in nine seasons. Starting with 14 goals in the 2016-2017 season, he scored 12 goals each in the 2017-2018 season and the 2018-2019 season. He scored 11 goals in the 2019-2020 season and 17 goals in the 2020-2021 season. He became the top scorer with 23 goals in the 2021-2022 season. In the 2022-2023 season, despite being sluggish due to injuries, he scored 10 goals to score double-digit points. He scored 17 goals last season. Only seven players, including Son Heung-min, have scored double digits for eight consecutive seasons in the EPL.

As injuries overlapped, voices of concern about 'Aging Curve' poured out. In a cool way, coach Enze Postecoglou's tactical reasons are great, but it is also true that he does not show as much skills as he did in his heyday. Tottenham hesitated to renew the contract with Son Heung-min. Contrary to the initial expectation that it would easily lead to a long-term renewal, the company decided to accompany only after a long time. That also stopped short of exercising the extension option. Son Heung-min has decided to stay at Tottenham until the summer of 2026.

Son Heung-min's position in Tottenham, which was Untouchable, has also changed. Public opinion continued that Tottenham, which ranked 17th last season, should now make a new edition, and there were voices calling for Son Heung-min to be sorted out. Tottenham are speeding up changes, replacing manager Enze Postecoglou and bringing in Thomas Frank.

In this situation, a love call continued. For Tottenham, this summer is the last chance to earn a transfer fee as Son Heung-min. There were a series of reports in the region that Tottenham was open to selling Son Heung-min. Starting with Saudi Arabia, U.S. Major League Soccer and Turkiye showed interest in Son Heung-min. Remain is, of course, open.

In recent years, the destination has been narrowed down to two ways: to Saudi Arabia or to stay. On the 8th, Son Heung-min's team for the next season of the famous betting company 'Skybet' will be the Saudi league, setting the dividend rate at a whopping 4/9. In terms of probability, it reached 69.2% and about 70%. Gamblers are the most sensitive and accurate on every issue in the UK, where betting is free. It has more information than a media company. It is worth watching that such a betting company predicted Son Heung-min's next destination to Saudi Arabia, which is also a 70% chance.

At the same time, articles related to Saudi Arabia are pouring in. Son Heung-min is currently open to transfer. Saudi clubs are the most likely candidates to recruit him. The Tottenham Hotspur News'Son Heung-min could head to Saudi Arabia this summer.

Son Heung-min's connection to Saudi Arabia is not yesterday or today. Saudi Arabia, which is pouring astronomical money, is bent on recruiting top stars, and of course, Son Heung-min is the No. 1 recruitment target. Under the Asian Champions League elite rules, the value of Asian players is bound to be great.

The British public broadcaster 『BBC" and the influential magazine 『The Times" also dealt with Son Heung-min's possibility of going to Saudi Arabia and evaluated it as 『a strategy to maximize brand value and marketing effects』. Saudi Arabia's national wealth is currently actively pursuing a strategy to expand its league's global broadcasting rights and foster the sports and tourism industry, and the UK's local analysis is that Saudi Arabia is trying to complete the project through Son Heung-min, who has the best brand in Asia.

Saudi wanted Son Heung-min from the summer of 2023. RT Hard sent a strong courtship. With a transfer fee of 60 million euros, an annual salary of 30 million euros, and a four-year contract, the total amount reached 120 million euros. However, Son Heung-min refused, quoting Ki Sung-yueng (Seoul), who said, "(South Korea's captain does not go to China)."

Since then, Saudi courts have intensified. Along with Al Nasr, where Cristiano Ronaldo is playing, as well as 'Saudi's strongest' Al Hilal and RT Hard are shaking Son Heung-min with oil dollars. It's an irresistible temptation, as we're in the twilight of our career.

Saudi Arabia's al-Bilad said, `This summer, Al-Ahli, Alnasr and Al-Cadcia are preparing a 40 million euro offer (about 63.4 billion won) for his recruitment, sparking rumors of a transfer.' In particular, Al-Ahli, the winner of last season's Asian Champions League, is most eager to reinforce the side despite holding Brazilian winger Galenu in his arms in Porto in January.' Another Saudi media outlet, HIHI2, also said that amid competition between al-Nasr and al-Cadcia, Al-Ahli is close to recruiting Son Heung-min.

Last month, former Tottenham scout Brian King said that Tottenham will demand £100 million for Son Heung-min's transfer fee. Ian Dark also "Son Heung-min is a really famous name. It will be a good investment because it works well in terms of marketing as well." Of course, £100 million is a real nonsense amount, but it can be interpreted that Son Heung-min's value is that high.

First of all, according to the British TeamTalk, multiple Saudi clubs have reportedly offered Son an astronomical condition of 30 million euros (about 48.2 billion won) per year and 90 million euros (about 144.6 billion won) for three years. Son Heung-min is reportedly the best Asian player. It will make one of the world's largest amounts of money.

The possibility of going to Saudi Arabia continues to rise, and the trip to the U.S. seems to be sinking below the surface. The Mirror'Son Heung-min seriously considered going to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), but eventually decided to reject LAFC's offer. "'The Sun' is also expected to fail to recruit Son Heung-min ' LA FC is expected to fail to recruit Son Heung-min ' At this stage, Son Heung-min's transfer to the U.S. is expected to be difficult. LA FC will have to wait until this winter's transfer market or next summer to take Son Heung-min.

Recently, Son Heung-min has been strongly connected to LA FC. The British newspaper 'TBR Football' reported that 'LAFC negotiated the transfer of Tottenham captain Son Heung-min to the United States. Then 'Tottenham's new coach Thomas Frank is open to selling Son Heung-min. But it's up to the player himself to make the final decision on his future' Son Heung-min is currently attracting attention from Saudi Arabian clubs as well as the United States, and has a significant opportunity to leave Tottenham this summer'

However, the possibility seems to have decreased due to a series of reports that Son Heung-min will not go to the U.S. Taking advantage of this, stories about Saudi Arabia are pouring out.

Of course, the possibility of staying is also being discussed. John Wenham, the operator of Tottenham's largest community 'LilyWhite Rose' and familiar with the club's internal news, said "If Son Heung-min stays, he is likely to be used as a rotation resource." Then "There are both positive and negative aspects of holding onto Son Heung-min."He's a player with a lot of experience, and he can still contribute to the team. But now we have to accept that we can't start every game like we used to."

Wehem added "Tottenham has signed Matistel, and Mikey Moore is also growing rapidly. If he catches Christian Romero, he is better suited as captain. Therefore, he will need careful dialogue with Son Heung-min, but Son Heung-min is still an amazing player. A player who comes off the bench and has the influence to change the flow of the game.

On the same day, Son Heung-min can stay at Tottenham even after delivering the news of Tottenham 'Spurs Webb' Matistel has been fully recruited, but the possibility of recruiting Brian Mbomo and Antoine Semeno is low. There is time to recruit the winger, but Son Heung-min can still be used as a winger' Son Heung-min can take on a mentor role at Tottenham. I can convey wisdom to inexperienced young players.

Then 'I think it's right for Son Heung-min to remain at Tottenham. If Son Heung-min is in the locker room, there is definitely an advantage. It will help young players. Moore can also play to his potential. Last season's performance was disappointing, but Tottenham's most visible striker was beaten. Leaving as soon as he wins the trophy may be a good way to preserve his legacy, but Son has always been brilliant at Tottenham and wanting to stay deserves praise. He said he could spend his last year at Tottenham.

In the end, Son's future is expected to be decided at a meeting with coach Frank. 'Talk Sports' means 'Son Heung-min and Tottenham respect each other. Son Heung-min has a lot of power to control the situation. "This includes asking for a contract renewal or checking how much playing time can be secured under Frank," he said. Earlier in the day, the British newspaper Sky Sports reported that Tottenham decided to completely leave Son Heung-min's transfer to the player himself. Football London also said that `Tottenham is more likely to leave it up to Son Heung-min, who has devoted himself for 10 years, rather than pushing his back to earn the last transfer fee.'

According to Spurs Web, it seems that Frank has already conveyed his thoughts to the club about Son's future. He welcomed Son Heung-min's stay, but he said Son Heung-min will have to accept a somewhat limited role as a major rebuild is scheduled for next season. In the end, it is up to Son Hong-min's choice.
