Some said that Tottenham's sale of Son Heung-min to the U.S. Major League Soccer (LAFC) was a great achievement.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 27th (Korea time) "Tottenham broke up with Son Heung-min. He left for LAFC, and the club collected a considerable amount of money from him."
Tottenham are busy recruiting midfielders before the September 1 transfer window closes. Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze failed to sign, now fighting to bring in Morgan Rogers.
Tottenham are not short of funds. Tottenham is estimated to have earned up to 20 million pounds (about 37.5 billion won) by selling Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min has paid huge profits to the club so far. It helped Tottenham by recording a considerable transfer fee even at the moment they left.
In an interview with the media, Dan Plumley, a soccer finance expert, said, `Considering Son Heung-min's current position, what he has contributed to the club so far, and his symbolic status within the team, it is a great achievement for Tottenham to receive such a amount.' `If you just look at the transfer fee, it is a fantastic deal for Tottenham in that range. They didn't necessarily need the money, but it's positive that they can afford to pursue a new recruitment with it."
Son Heung-min's contract was less than a year away, and there were also signs of a decline in his skills as he entered the age of 33. The sum of £20 million is valued as a reasonable enough deal.
Of course, Son Heung-min was more than just a player. He was the leader of Tottenham and became a legend of the club. But under Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, the team has made a fresh start. It has recruited new players and is continuously preparing to recruit even when the transfer market is just around the corner.
Frank is still looking for Son's replacement. It doesn't seem to be enough for the current players.
The media said "Brennan Johnson showed excellent performance against Burnley, but Frank will want a higher level of quality to fill Son Heung-min's gap."
