Tottenham's worries are deepening. Son Heung-min is having a hard time filling the vacancy.
British media Football London reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has a lot of work to finish in the transfer market this summer.
Tottenham will inevitably change their new season. There are some changes. He has broken up with coach Enze Postecoglou, who has led the team so far. The new start will be announced under Frank's leadership. However, even Son Heung-min, who was at the center of the team, chose to break up. Son Heung-min left Tottenham for LA FC (USA), which has been around for a decade.
At the start of a new era, Tottenham look reeling. Tottenham was completely defeated 0-4 in an off-season friendly match against Bayern Munich (Germany) at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 8th (Korea time). Coincidentally, Son Heung-min lost his first game after moving to LA FC.
Football London says Son Heung-min is no longer a Tottenham player. Considering his regular goals, assists and big performances, there remains a big task of replacing Son Heung-min. After the defeat to Bayern Munich, Frank admitted he would consider signing another winger if he had the right opportunity in the transfer window. Coach Frank said, `Son Heung-min has been a key player for 10 years. He left the team. We have young players. They are really promising. You can perform well. If we think we can find the right players, we will recruit players who can develop the team. If you can't do that, you won't."

Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushcashi Award in 2020. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Pushkashi Award are the first and only milestone for an Asian player to date. Above all, he lifted the trophy in the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season.
Son Heung-min is taking on a new challenge for LA FC. He was substituted in the 16th minute of the second half in an away game between the Chicago Fire and the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) at Sitgig Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, on the 10th. Son Heung-min, who joined the team on the 7th, made his MLS debut just three days later. Son Heung-min, who started the game on the bench, changed from his training suit to his uniform and prepared to play in the 14th minute of the second half. He played instead of David Martinez in the 16th minute of the second half. Son Heung-min earned a penalty kick in the 32nd minute of the second half when his team was trailing 1-2. He fell behind the opponent's defender while driving the ball in a counterattack. Video VAR confirmed the penalty. Deeney Buanga scored as a kicker. After that, the two teams finished the game 2-2 without any additional points. LA FC will play an away game against the New England Revolution at 8:30 a.m. on the 17th.
