The fate of one of the main stars of London's "Tottenham" team — Son Heung-min — remains uncertain. The question of where the South Korean striker will start the next season is being hotly debated among fans and experts.
Is Son in Frank's plans?
The newly appointed head coach of the team, Thomas Frank, is planning to reshape the squad for the upcoming season. He aims to keep players who fit his style and part ways with the others. From this perspective, Son Heung-min has also appeared on the list of potential transfers.
However…
Currently not for sale due to commercial reasons
Tottenham's commercial tour plans in Asia do not allow for Son to leave the team anytime soon. According to reports, the team will visit South Korea in the summer and participate in a friendly match against Newcastle there. This game is linked to the club's promotional and financial projects, and it has been stipulated that Son must be on the field.
If the striker does not participate in this match, Tottenham will be forced to pay a significant fine. Therefore, the team will not allow their star to leave for now.
Likely to leave in August
Additionally, experts and insiders note that negotiations regarding Son Heung-min's transfer may resume in August. The reason is that the club's commercial obligations will end after the South Korea trip, leaving the striker's fate open.
It is worth mentioning that Son's current contract with Tottenham is set to last until the summer of 2026. His influence in the team is significant, but there are also reports that due to his age and salary, he is starting to be seen as a certain obstacle in the club's financial strategy.
An important figure for the local and Asian market
Moreover, Son is considered a very valuable asset for Tottenham not only from a sporting perspective but also from a commercial and marketing standpoint. Especially his impact on the Asian market brings significant revenue to the team. Therefore, in his transfer, not only sporting but also business interests play a decisive role.
In conclusion, Son Heung-min's departure from Tottenham may not happen for now. However, the situation could change dramatically in August, and we may witness one of the major transfers in world football.
