Tottenham announced a good start to this season, but there is still a long way to go. The problem is, again, an attack.
Tottenham parted ways with Son this summer. Let go of the ace who was responsible for one of the pillars of the team's offense for the past decade. Son Heung-min won the Europa League with Tottenham and chose a beautiful goodbye instead of renewing his contract.
After Son Heung-min left, Tottenham was not in the watermelon where their worries would grow. The gap that was not filled after Harry Kane's transfer still remained, and Son Heung-min's vacancy had to be replaced. In the summer transfer market, starting with Morgan Gibbs-White, he tried to minimize the gap by targeting several players and eventually reinforced the offense by bringing in Mohamed Kudus, Xavi Simmons and Randal Kolo Muani.

However, Son Heung-min's gap could not be easily filled. Tottenham still lacks players to release their attacks in a frustrating game this season. Even during the defeat against Bournemouth in the league, he experienced a 0-1 defeat with empty space. It was a moment when Son Heung-min's absence, who showed his side as a troubleshooter, was revealed at every frustrating moment.
This regret also appeared in the recent post-European Champions League evaluation. Britain's BBC reported on the 18th (Korea time) 'Frank's Tottenham got off to a good start, but still have few chances to score'
Tottenham won 1-0 in the first match of the European Champions League (UCL) league stage in the 2025-2026 season against Villarreal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 17th. However, the only goal was an own goal, and Tottenham's attack was disappointing because it did not show a threatening appearance several times. There was only one shot on target.

The BBC said `Tottenham won another scoreless victory. This is a rare occurrence. Winning four games in five games is a very good start. However, goals and goal opportunities are still rare except for setfest and mistakes. It would be nice to see Tottenham regularly attack opponents in a few weeks. Tottenham have improved a lot, but they still have a long way to go. You can't always expect to score a goal without shooting.
Coach Frank also acknowledged this. He `aggressively struggled with creativity. Nevertheless, it is a big win. It is important to win and compete in any competition. UCL is incredibly difficult. The opponent is a strong team, and we were able to finish the tough game with a victory" he evaluated.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min has properly boasted his scoring ability by scoring goals in two consecutive games for LA FC since leaving Tottenham for the United States.
Tottenham, which still has Son Heung-min's vacancy, is also drawing attention to whether it will fill the spot within this season and show solid performance in offense.
