Reports have emerged that Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) has already made up his mind to leave Tottenham.
Matt Law of 'Last Word on Spurs' noted, "Son Heung-min is likely to leave Tottenham this summer. After finishing the last match of the Premier League against Brighton, Son said goodbye to club staff as if he were leaving the club. The staff had the impression that Son had played his last game for Tottenham."
Since joining Tottenham in 2015, Son Heung-min has scored 173 goals and provided 101 assists in 454 matches. Notably, he delivered a trophy to Tottenham for the first time in 17 years by winning the UEFA Europa League. Son has ascended to the ranks of the club's legendary players.
There is a growing perception within Tottenham that 33-year-old Son Heung-min should prepare for the end of his playing career. There are suggestions that he should also prepare for life after being a football player.
Fans may have to face a Tottenham side without Son Heung-min next season. 'SpursWeb' reported, "Some fans believe this summer is the right time to sell Son. He has one year left on his contract. A transfer fee of £30 million (approximately 56.1 billion won) is sufficient for approval of the transfer."
Son Heung-min scored 7 goals and provided 9 assists last season, failing to achieve double-digit goals for the first time in 9 years. It is true that Son's skills are not what they used to be. He has been embroiled in transfer rumors with one year left on his contract.
British media outlet 'Football London' conducted a survey on the 27th asking fans whether Tottenham should sell Son Heung-min to Saudi Arabia. The results were shocking. A whopping 57% supported selling Son to Saudi Arabia.
It is argued that for the benefit of Tottenham, it is better to sell Son, who still holds value, to Saudi Arabia, where he can fetch the highest price. Those who feel he should stay on the team, considering his 10 years of dedication as captain, accounted for only 21%.
