Tottenham is considering a huge recruitment candidate who can pass Son Heung-min's No. 7.
British Give Me Sports reported in an exclusive report on the 6th (Korea time) that `Tottenham wants to advance the recruitment negotiations with a new striker this week.'
Giveme Sports says Tottenham want to move forward with negotiations to reinforce their offensive, with AC Milan star player Rafael Leão and Real Madrid's Rodrigo targeting them. Son Heung-min is scheduled to leave the team this summer, and his transfer to LAFC is almost confirmed, so Tottenham is looking for a replacement. Tottenham are said to be genuinely interested in Leanne.

This summer, Tottenham will say goodbye to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min wrapped up his journey at Tottenham by completing two matches of the '2025 Coupang Play Series' against Newcastle United held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. Son Heung-min, who announced at a press conference before the game that he will leave Tottenham, is expected to leave for LA on the 5th to complete his joining of LAFC.
With Son Heung-min leaving, Tottenham are in a situation to fill his void. Son Heung-min's brand power, influence and leadership are also problems, but it is more urgent to fill Son Heung-min's strength as the best winger in the English Premier League (EPL). Wilson O'Dober and Matisse Tel are mentioned as replacement candidates, but they fall significantly compared to Son Heung-min's status.

Tottenham seems to be considering a possible replacement with an outside recruitment. Hodrigu was previously considered as a candidate for recruitment, but Hodrigu reportedly wants to stay in Real until this summer. The new name is Rafael Lean.
Leanne is a winger who started making his name known on the European stage in 2019 when he moved from Lille to AC Milan. Exploded the potential at Milan. Starting from the 2021-2022 season, he has grown into a top Serie A winger. He led the team to the league championship with 11 goals and 8 assists in 34 league games in that season and was also selected as league MVP. In the 2024-2025 season, he also led the offense with 12 goals and 11 assists in 51 league games. He also has similar advantages to Son Heung-min, such as sprinting using speed.
If Lean joins, it may be possible to fill Son Heung-min's presence. However, the problem is the transfer fee, and Give Me Sports evaluated that `Lean's current transfer fee is too high, so it may be difficult to see the possibility of a transfer as much.' Attention is focusing on Tottenham's choice to replace Son Heung-min.
