The reason why he doesn't renew his contract with Son Heung-min (32) is because of his age.

Tottenham Hotspur and coach Enze Postecoglou's team management stance was outlined. In the process of hijacking and signing an 18-year-old player who is considered a "special prospect" for 40 million pounds (about 70.3 billion won), Tottenham wants to reorganize the team.

In the end, he is trying to completely transform the squad into a young and highly potential player. The reason why they want to use the "contract extension option" instead of renewing the contract against Son Heung-min, who showed the best performance in the league with the team's 'captain' last season, can be found here. Rather than offering a long-term contract to an Asian player in his early 30s, he aims to attract promising players from England in their 20s with that capital. Currently, none of the players who are rumored to transfer to Tottenham are Son Heung-min's age or older. Of course, there are no Asian players.

On the 2nd (Korea Standard Time), Tottenham announced the recruitment of Archie Gray, a former member of the Sunggol Youth of Leeds United in the Championship (second division). The contract period is as long as six years. He is a member of Tottenham until 2030.

In addition, Tottenham have poured in £40 million in transfer fees. No matter how talented he is, it is rare to invest £40 million in recruiting an 18-year-old player. The transfer fee paid when bringing Son Heung-min in the past was only £22 million. This means that Gray's value is much higher than Son Heung-min's.

Originally, Gray was expected to join Brentford rather than Tottenham. Brentford have been very active in recruiting, and following a personal agreement with Gray, consultations have been completed with the Leeds club. This is the situation until the 1st. Gray would wear a Brentford uniform once he had completed a medical test. The transfer fee is reported to be £35 million.

But in less than a day, the situation has changed. Ahead of the medical test, Gray refused to go to Brentford, and just as it happened, the Leeds club also expressed dissatisfaction with Brentford's way of paying the transfer fee. When Gray was temporarily in the air, Tottenham jumped in as if they had been waiting.

Since then, things have gone on quickly. I even suspect that he deliberately made the board like that. Less than a day later, Gray announced his official move to Tottenham. I also got my number 14.

Gray is expected to play various roles at Tottenham in the future. English Football London has played a central midfielder in attack and defence box-to-box with his versatile ability. Can play in both midfield and right-back"He will be an Inverted right-back candidate for Tottenham. " Thanks to its excellent build-up ability and multi-position digestibility, it is expected to play a major role in coordinating offense and defense from the center or back of the team and supporting the team.
