"Son Heung-min has disappeared at crucial moments for Tottenham."
Football Fan Cast noted on the 7th (Korean time) that "It’s fine to forget Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson. Lucas Vervalsch is becoming the most important player for Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou."
It added, "For years, Son Heung-min has been a threatening player in the attacking zone, but in the past few months, he has not looked like his previous self. He has scored only two goals in the league over 4 months in 2025."
It further explained, "Son Heung-min's decline has started to become visible. Head coach Postecoglou has to make a big decision this summer."
Son Heung-min is not in a good situation this season. He is receiving a lot of criticism due to evaluations that his skills have declined.
However, Son Heung-min has established himself as a legend for Tottenham. On the 6th, he participated in the 31st round of the 2024-2025 Premier League against Southampton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Son Heung-min started in the second '3' of the 4-3-3 formation, playing until he was substituted in the 12th minute of the second half for Wilson Odobert.
He did not record a goal or an assist, but achieved a meaningful milestone in the match.
According to Tottenham's official website, his appearance in this match was the 450th match played under Tottenham.
Son Heung-min transferred from Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga to Tottenham in 2015.
In his first year with the team, he struggled to adapt but quickly rose to become a regular starter.
In 2019, he helped Tottenham reach the UEFA Champions League (UCL) final, and in 2020, he received the FIFA Puskás Award.
The Puskás Award is given to the player who scores the best goal of the year.
And in 2022, he was awarded the Premier League top scorer, becoming the first Asian player to record the most goals in a single Premier League season.
Football Insider pointed out that "Son Heung-min has disappeared at crucial moments this season. He was an amazing player, but he has not shown the skills he previously displayed since Harry Kane left the team."
