In the meantime, Jamie O'Hara (38), who played at Tottenham in the past, claimed, "It might be better for Son Heung-min to play in a league with a slower tempo."

Ben Jacobs, a reporter for the British media outlet 'GiveMeSport,' appeared on the 'Market Madness' podcast on the 22nd (Korean time) and noted, "Son Heung-min will decide his future after joining Tottenham's preseason."

This is the same news reported by BBC.

Earlier on the 17th, BBC reported, "It is highly likely that Son Heung-min's future will be determined only after Tottenham's Asian tour ends."

Tottenham will play against Newcastle in the '2025 Coupang Play Series' champion match at Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3rd. This is a match between Tottenham, the winner of the Europa League, and Newcastle, who won the Carabao Cup.

The organizers of the series stated, "Both teams are expected to bring the championship trophy to Korea, increasing the symbolic significance of the match and the excitement on-site."

Prior to this match, Tottenham will hold an open training session at Goyang Sports Complex on August 2nd for interaction with fans.

BBC expects that the decision regarding Son Heung-min's transfer will not be made until before his visit to Korea.

Tottenham will play a friendly match against Arsenal in Hong Kong on July 31st. In this schedule aimed at the Asian market, Son Heung-min is regarded as a key marketing asset.

BBC reported, "Son Heung-min's situation remains uncertain. However, according to internal club officials, his future is likely to be determined after the Asian tour."

It was explained that this is because if Son Heung-min misses the tour, there may be issues with the event organizers.

Son Heung-min is under contract with Tottenham until the summer of 2026. There is an analysis that this summer could be an appropriate transfer point, as it may be the last opportunity to secure the transfer fee Tottenham wants.

Interest in Son Heung-min exists from various places. Wealthy Saudi Arabian clubs have been persistently courting Son Heung-min. Recently, it has been reported that Fenerbahçe in Turkey, led by coach José Mourinho, is also showing interest in acquiring Son Heung-min.

Meanwhile, O'Hara, who has been active, pointed out that Son Heung-min's prime may be over and mentioned the possibility of a sale.

In an interview on the 21st with the British media outlet 'FourFourTwo,' he said, "Tottenham would let Son Heung-min go if a big offer comes in. He is no longer at the top level. Perhaps it would be better for him to play in a league with a slower tempo," adding, "I would like to see him perform like he used to, but I don't think he has that ability anymore."
