Is Tottenham regretting Son Heung-min's transfer.

England's Hotspur HQ made Son Heung-min regret Tottenham's transfer on the 19th (Korea time). 'Maybe Tottenham should have kept him going,' he reported.

The transfer that hit this summer was none other than Son Heung-min and Tottenham's farewell. Leaving behind a decade of dedication, Son said goodbye to Tottenham with a trophy. Son Heung-min and Tottenham, who made their name as one of the club's all-time best strikers, shed tears regardless of teammates and fans.




It wasn't thrown out. When the news broke that Son Heung-min could leave Tottenham, there were many criticisms that the club might not take care of the legendary player with one year left on his contract. Fans also voiced their opinions that Son Heung-min should sign a contract renewal considering his dedication so far. But Son wanted a beautiful breakup. He rejected the club's offer to renew the contract, chose a new challenge himself, and wanted to leave with a transfer fee. Tottenham also respected Son's heart. Tottenham and Son Heung-min left for LA FC instead of renewing the contract, saying goodbye hotly.

Tottenham, where Son Heung-min left, had a lot of concerns. Son Heung-min clearly showed better performance than his prime at Tottenham in the previous season. Nevertheless, the proportion of Tottenham's offense was large. Son Heung-min's presence on the left has an influence that can be explained by visible statistics, such as releasing attacks from the center and the right. Moreover, Son Heung-min, who had excellent shooting skills on both feet, was the best troubleshooter in the English Premier League (EPL). It was natural for Tottenham to have a question mark about how to fill his vacancy and attack gap.

Tottenham is cruising above expectations without Son Heung-min. The European Champions League also started with a win, with three wins and one loss in four league games and Villarreal. However, there is a hidden problem. It's an attack. Except for the first two games of the league, there are no goals scored by strikers. His presence faded as well as Hishalisson, who dreamed of a turnaround, and Brennan Johnson, who had a good finish to the door. This is where Son Heung-min's vacancy is realized. On the other hand, Son Heung-min has been active in six games with five goals and one assist since advancing to LA FC. Son Heung-min's absence may be more regrettable for Tottenham as he shows both penetration and shooting during his EPL heyday, signaling his second heyday.

In the end, a word that I had cherished and cherished came out. It was a regretful remark that he might not have sent Son Heung-min. "Tottenham's recruitment of the transfer market went in a good direction last summer, and they performed well in the league and European Champions League, but they may regret their decision to part with Son Heung-min," Hutsper HQ said. "'Fans expected to replace Son's position with a winger with global potential. However, Tottenham only hired Randal Kolo Muani on loan instead of recruiting a winger. Son Heung-min is doing so well at LA FC. Tottenham should have given him one last chance under Thomas Frank.

Then 'Tottenham does not have a left winger. Son Heung-min has been outstanding in MLS. I can't predict if he would have been this good even if he was in the EPL. However, if Son Heung-min contributes even half, he will be the most effective left winger in the team. Tottenham eventually hired freshman Xavi Simmons for the position, which is why he is not at his best. If Son Heung-min had been able to play for another year personally with a better team and a chance to win the Premier League, he would have fully valued the transfer fee.

Son Heung-min's vacancy has become a reality. We can't just pray for Son Heung-min to come back again. In the awkward landscape of Tottenham, Tottenham must find the answer of the post-Son Heung-min era.
