Britain's The Spurs News reported on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) 'Tottenham, which has promising players such as Mikey Moore, Wilson O'Donbert and Yang Min-hyuk, believes it can prepare well for a future without Son Heung-min.'"
Tottenham received a lot of attention for renewing their contract with Son this summer. Of course, it was expected that the renewal of the contract would take place. It was a natural step considering that Son Heung-min is already one of the leading 'Living Legends' at Tottenham. Considering Son Heung-min's achievements and evaluations at Tottenham, it is also considered a legend that is included in the top 10 in the club's history. Son Heung-min has played a total of 416 Tottenham games and is ranked high in the all-time ranking with 165 Tottenham goals. He also had a huge record in Tottenham's career help ranking second, just behind Christian Eriksen.
However, Tottenham did not easily negotiate re-signing. Son Heung-min also hinted that there was no negotiation until this season, when the contract was about to expire. Son Heung-min attended a press conference ahead of the Europa League against Karabakh FK and was asked about renewing his contract, saying, `We haven't said anything yet" he said.
Bailey, who was interviewed by The Spurs News, said of Son Heung-min's renewal, `From Tottenham's point of view, it should be realistic"I've already spent a lot of money on recruiting Dominic Solanke, and Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski are doing well. Tottenham are looking to a future without Son Heung-min. There are young players, but why do they want to give a multi-year contract to an older player?" he pointed out.

It is regrettable for Son Heung-min, but Tottenham seems to be putting more weight on the growth of prospects. Earlier, Spurs Webb of Younggeuk also said, `Tottenham captain Son Heung-min will be 33 years old at the end of this season, and he cannot be any younger. His contract could expire in 2026, and Tottenham need someone to replace him, he said.

Yang Min-hyuk is also on the list. Yang Min-hyuk confirmed his move to Tottenham this summer, and he will leave Gangwon and join Tottenham from January 2025. He has already proven his skills on the K-League stage, but considering the difficulties of the EPL stage, his adaptation will inevitably differ greatly. The next player after Yang Min-hyuk was Moore, a promising player raised by Tottenham himself. Moore is already considered one of the best talents within Tottenham Youth and is playing this season with a chance to play. Moore, who can play as both wingers, has been evaluated as a talent that will soon establish itself in Tottenham's first team even if it is not Son Heung-min's place.
Tottenham is preparing for Son Heung-min's next. However, it is not easy to let go of Son Heung-min, who is still an ace, so attention is expected to continue to be paid to the extension of the contract.
