Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly ready to send Son Heung-min (33) away. According to Mick Brown, a former chief scout of Manchester United, the club is already in the process of securing a replacement and has determined that this summer is the 'right time' for a breakup.
Football Insider reported on the 15th (Korean time), quoting Brown's exclusive interview, that "as clubs in the Saudi Arabian Pro League and Major League Soccer (MLS) show interest in acquiring Son Heung-min, Tottenham is prepared to accept this."
Brown noted, "Tottenham is planning for next season without Son Heung-min," adding, "Manager Thomas Frank is in the process of reshaping the attack with the thought of parting ways with Son Heung-min."
He also conveyed, "Concerns about Son Heung-min's decline in fitness and speed were already present within Tottenham back in February, and since then, efforts to acquire a replacement have begun." In fact, Tottenham has recently acquired Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United and is also showing interest in Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) and Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace).
Brown said, "While they are not in the same position as Son Heung-min, the manager believes they can.replace the attacking options that Son Heung-min provided," adding, "It is now time for everyone to take a new path. Son Heung-min has performed excellently at Tottenham and is a legend, but time is fair to everyone."
He added, "There is indeed real interest in Son Heung-min, and Saudi Arabia or the MLS are realistic destinations. If Tottenham receives an appropriate offer, the club will accept it, and Son Heung-min can explore new opportunities."
Meanwhile, separate from Son Heung-min's transfer, Tottenham is also showing interest in Yoane Wissa, a forward from Brentford, which was previously managed by Thomas Frank.
Football Insider reported, "Brentford is not planning to sell both Bryan Mbeumo and Wissa at the same time," stating, "Since Mbeumo is engaged in transfer negotiations with Manchester United, Wissa is likely to remain with the team."
Since joining Tottenham in 2015, Son Heung-min has established himself as a club legend, recording 173 goals and 101 assists in a total of 454 matches. However, signs that his era is drawing to a close are becoming increasingly evident as of the summer of 2025.
