Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) is reportedly ready to leave the team.

The British media 'Tribal Football' reported on the 25th (Korean time) that "world-class Son Heung-min has completed preparations to part ways with Tottenham Hotspur."

Tottenham is at a critical juncture this summer, deciding the future of the team. After winning the Europa League against Manchester United 1-0 in May, they dismissed manager Ange Postecoglou and appointed Thomas Frank as the new head coach.

The media noted, "Under manager Frank's regime, Tottenham is ushering in a new era and must make significant decisions regarding the future of several key players. Cristian Romero's future remains uncertain, and Richarlison's plans are also unclear."

They also explained, "There is a possibility that Son Heung-min could leave Tottenham this summer. Reporter Tom Barkley noted that there is a key reason behind Son's decision to consider a transfer."

Barkley claims that the backdrop to Son Heung-min finally being ready to leave Tottenham is the decisive factor of winning the Europa League. He wants to conclude his time at the club on a high note, celebrating their first European trophy.

Barkley stated regarding Son Heung-min's current thoughts at Tottenham, "From what I've gathered, Son is showing an open attitude toward a transfer for the first time in a long time. This is a decision made after spending ten years at Tottenham. He seems to believe that now is the most ideal time for parting ways, having lifted the club's first trophy in 17 years, marking his first trophy in the decade he has been at the club."

Son Heung-min is a player who showcased exceptional skills to be called 'world-class' at the peak of his career. And now he is at the most appropriate moment to leave North London.

The media noted, "There are several cases of legendary players leaving the team immediately after winning, like Son Heung-min. Patrick Vieira left Arsenal after winning the FA Cup in 2005, Didier Drogba shed his Chelsea jersey after the UEFA Champions League victory in 2012, and Eden Hazard left for Real Madrid after winning the Europa League in 2019."

They added, "The most symbolic case is Cristiano Ronaldo. He left Real Madrid after achieving three consecutive Champions League titles in 2018."

TBR Football reported, "Son Heung-min's departure may come as a pain to fans, but considering his dedication and achievements for Tottenham, this may be the perfect moment for him to start a new journey."
