Tottenham fans' doubts about Mattis Tel are growing.

Tottenham had a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in two matches of the '2025 Coupang Play Series' held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. After 65 minutes in Son Heung-min's farewell match, he shed tears and said goodbye to Tottenham.

In fact, it was a pre-season game, so the result didn't matter. More attention was focused on Son Heung-min, who is spending his last time at Tottenham than on the content. When Son Heung-min received a replacement signal in the 20th minute of the second half, he finished the game with the final congratulations of the players of both teams. Son Heung-min has been in constant tears since then.

Son Heung-min is one of the best players in Tottenham's history. Son Heung-min, who ranks fifth (173 goals) in Tottenham's career scoring rankings, is also seventh in most appearances with 454 games. He is the top scorer in the Premier League (EPL) and is proudly left in history as a captain who broke Tottenham's irrelevant history.




Now Tottenham need to find a replacement for Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min's successor has a heavy mission because he can be considered to have replaced Son Heung-min only when he scores at least 10 goals and five assists in the league during a season.

Looking at the direction of the transfer market so far, Matistel will be the replacement for Son Heung-min. Tel was forced to wear Tottenham's uniform on loan last season. It was a deal that included a full recruitment clause, and Tel became a full Tottenham player this summer. So far, Tottenham has spent as much as 45 million euros (about 72 billion won) including rent, making it the highest transfer fee ever in the Tottenham transfer market.

However, Tel has not been able to replace Son since being loaned out last winter. I'm very disappointed in this pre-season as well. He also disappointed his fans by showing his ridiculous goal-scoring ability against Newcastle.

Tel, who started as a front-line striker, counterattacked in the 17th minute of the first half. Brennan Johnson poked it at once, and Tell got the perfect chance by overcoming the speed contest with the defender. There was no Newcastle player who could catch Tell, who started the run from the halfway line. It was so perfect that I couldn't expect a better chance.

A situation where everyone expected to score. Tell made a few shooting tricks in front of goalkeeper Nick Pope, but he was blocked by goalkeeper Pope's leg. I should praise Pope for not being deceived by the trick, but it didn't make sense to miss such a chance. This is because it was enough to pass the goalkeeper.




England's The Sun pointed out Tel's goal-scoring ability after the game, saying, `It's still pre-season, but I don't understand how Tel could have missed a one-on-one chance with Pope.'
