The rumor of Son Heung-min's (33, Tottenham) release has surfaced again.
The British outlet GiveMeSport reported on the 24th that "Tottenham is attempting a blockbuster sale of Son Heung-min. The groundwork for the transfer has already been completed. Tottenham is considering parting ways with Son Heung-min ahead of the summer transfer window."
They plan to transfer him while he still has value, judging that the 33-year-old's prime has passed. This outlet noted that "Tottenham could receive financial support by selling Son Heung-min. He has been far from his best level this season and shows little sign of improvement."
Since joining Tottenham in 2015, Son Heung-min has dedicated himself as a one-club man. He has enjoyed numerous honors, including being the Premier League top scorer, but has been far from winning a championship. Son Heung-min rejected transfer offers from big clubs and stayed with Tottenham.
However, what remains is to be treated as a mere dedication. This season, Tottenham has fallen to 14th place in the Premier League. They were eliminated early from the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. There is a slim possibility of winning the Europa League, but it is very low.
A British legend has reacted strongly to the rumors of Son Heung-min's release. Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp countered, saying, "Son Heung-min still has a lot to offer Tottenham. He is a fantastic player at Tottenham. It is not easy to replace him."
Redknapp continued, "Tottenham has signed Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, but he has been quiet. It is never easy to replace a top player like Son. Coach Ange Postecoglou has not utilized Son Heung-min properly," placing the blame on the coach.
