On the 26th (Korean time), Tottenham officially unveiled the new season's away uniform through their official website, featuring Son Heung-min as the main model.
It is natural for team captain Son Heung-min to appear as a model, but the announcement has attracted attention as it came amid persistent transfer rumors.
팀 주장 손흥민이 모델로 등장한 것은 자연스러운 일이지만 최근 이적설이 끊이지 않는 상황에서 나온 발표이기에 주목을 사고 있다.
Son Heung-min has been active at Tottenham since 2015 and has worn the captain's armband since 2023. He solidified his status as a club symbol by winning the UEFA Europa League in the 2024-2025 season.
There are quite a few opinions suggesting that Son Heung-min, who has entered the aging curve, needs to part ways beautifully with Tottenham.
Earlier on the 24th, 'Tottenham Hotspur News', which mainly covers Tottenham news, reported, "Son Heung-min could leave Tottenham this summer. The victory in the UEFA Europa League in the 2024-2025 season might be his farewell stage. As of now, it is said that there is a 50% chance he will leave Tottenham."
According to the media, Tottenham's former scout, Brian Keane, expressed that "if an offer for Son Heung-min is received, Tottenham will demand 100 million pounds (approximately 184.8 billion won)."
Son Heung-min is contracted with Tottenham until the summer of 2026. Many analyses suggest that this summer is the last chance for Tottenham to sell Son Heung-min and receive their desired transfer fee. Consequently, numerous transfer rumors are pouring out regarding Son Heung-min.
Wealthy clubs from Saudi Arabia continue to show interest, and it has recently been reported that Fenerbahçe from Turkey, led by coach José Mourinho, has also shown interest in Son Heung-min.
Amid continuous transfer rumors, Son Heung-min was positioned in the front row of the group photo featuring the new uniform unveiled by Tottenham. He also appeared on the main page of the club's website, proving he remains a key representative player for the team.
Meanwhile, Tottenham has appointed Thomas Frank as head coach ahead of the new season. After the preseason Asia tour against Newcastle on August 3 at Seoul World Cup Stadium, there is a possibility that Son Heung-min's future will come into focus.
