Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich) is projected to potentially take the place of Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham Hotspur).
Tottenham News reported on the 2nd (Korea time) that 'Chairman Daniel Levy is contemplating Son Heung-min's future. Leroy Sané is being mentioned as a potential replacement for Son Heung-min.'
Son Heung-min lifted the UEFA Europa League (UEL) championship trophy after defeating Manchester United 1-0 on the 22nd of last month. However, he had the worst season, falling to 17th place in the Premier League.
Tottenham is planning to restructure its squad ahead of the opening of the transfer market. Son Heung-min, who has been criticized for a decline in individual skill, is also reportedly being considered for sale by Tottenham.
In particular, Sané, who will become a free agent after his contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of this season, is strongly linked with Tottenham, raising the speculation of Son Heung-min's potential sale.
British media 'Give Me Sport' noted that 'Levy has spoken with Sané's agent, Pini Zahavi. Tottenham has shown interest in acquiring Sané,' fueling the rumors.
It was also emphasized again that 'If Tottenham brings in Sané, Son Heung-min's position may further narrow.'
Sané can be a new option for Tottenham's offense with his speed and dribbling ability. While Son Heung-min has captained the team, if Sané joins, he may establish himself as Tottenham's new ace.
Son Heung-min has played for Tottenham for 10 years, recording 454 matches, 173 goals, and 101 assists. Starting in 2023, he became the first Asian player to wear the captain's armband and lead the team. However, rumors of a split have resurfaced due to interest from the Saudi Arabian league and changes within the team.
