Tottenham Hotspur coolly plan for the future of the team. There is a strong perception that a replacement for Son Heung-min (32), who is currently performing the best and making the team 'hard carry', is needed.
Son Heung-min is showing excellent performance right now, but he is already in his 30s and will soon enter an aging period. For this reason, it is reported that they are making all-out efforts to recruit Crystal Palace wing forward Eberechi Eze (26).
British media TBR Football reported on the 21st (Korea time) 'Tottenham's technical director Johan Lange strongly wants Eze as a substitute for Son Heung-min' It is argued that the background of the recruitment of Eze, the team's key target, is a consciousness that he can break up with Son Heung-min one day.
Tottenham, which is currently preparing for the 2024-2025 season, is showing good signs by winning all three pre-season games. However, apart from this, the recruitment of players in the transfer market is still continuing. There are quite a few recruiting tasks that have yet to be completed.

TBR Football said Tottenham are negotiating with Crystal Palace to sign Eze, and Eze is also positive about Tottenham. In particular, Football Transfer revealed why Tottenham is focusing on recruiting Eze. The media insisted that director Lange `will definitely recruit Eze in order to use him as an alternative to Son Heung-min.'
It can be interpreted that Tottenham is gradually operating a scenario of breaking up with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is currently Tottenham's ace, which is undisputed. In the 2023-2024 season, he also showed his best performance with 17 goals and 10 assists. He is now almost an irreplaceable player.
However, the media reported that Son Heung-min is already 32 years old. Unbelievable performance over the years, and he's done really well after he's captained the team. There have been reports that Saudi Arabian giant Al Ahli is pursuing a contract, but there is no possibility that Tottenham will sell it. Lange said Son Heung-min is a good enough player to take the position when he eventually leaves the team. In the end, it can be seen that Tottenham is not ruling out the possibility of temporarily breaking up with Son Heung-min.
