There was a reason why Son Heung-min poured out his anger at the replacement signal. There is a possibility that concerns about Son Heung-min's physical condition have grown at Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur Newson of England reported on the 26th (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min's physical fitness issue was raised after the victory over Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported that former Tottenham scout Brian King is not 100% sure Son Heung-min is in good health. Son Heung-min could notice his dissatisfaction after being replaced in the last Man City match. Son was replaced after 63 minutes, and King said he thought it was devastating to replace Son early.
It is natural that Son Heung-min is often replaced early in recent games, raising questions. This season, he has struggled with multiple injuries.
On these issues, King said, `Son Heung-min is replaced too often and Tottenham's play is hindered. I'm not sure if Son Heung-min's condition is 100%. At the end of the Manchester City match, Son looked unhappy on the bench" he insisted.

Son Heung-min did not play full-time against Manchester City earlier. It seemed to be a choice based on the aftermath of the injury. Son Heung-min missed many games this season due to a hamstring injury. The problem is that even though he played the full time of the previous game, he suddenly changed. Son Heung-min usually preferred to play full-time. He has already expressed dissatisfaction with the early replacement against Aston Villa in the match on November 3.
At that time, he could not hide his desire to play more in the game, such as double-checking whether he was correct in the replacement order. Even after returning to the bench after replacing Hishalisson, Son Heung-min expressed strong disappointment that he rarely showed, biting his uniform with his lips with a dissatisfied look. The British dusun 'He walked hard and headed to the bench, greeting Postecoglou. Afterwards, he appeared to be watching the game by swearing when he sat down to watch it until the end of the game.' mentioned the situation at the time of the replacement.
Son Heung-min seems to have expressed regret even after the replacement of this game. However, there is a reason that can be fully understood. It is the relationship between physical condition and renewal of contract. Son Heung-min was recently notified of the failure to renew his contract, and if the opportunity to continue playing decreases due to concerns about his injury, the possibility of renewing his contract will inevitably decrease further.

The news about Son Heung-min's renewal has already drawn great attention since last summer's transfer market. Journalist Graham Bailey said, `Tottenham has no plans to renew the contract with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min said he was shocked by the club's decision, adding that `Son Heung-min and his camp discussed a new contract with Tottenham, and both sides were positive about the contract extension, but the club seems to have suddenly changed its attitude.'
Recently, the prospect of leaving Tottenham has grown. The British sport of non-people seems to be taking shape in the future of Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is scheduled to leave Tottenham when his contract expires, according to the news. Son Heung-min, who scored 165 goals and 87 assists in 419 games for Tottenham, has recently been linked to other clubs such as Galatasaray. Tottenham have the option of a one-year extension, but have apparently decided not to activate it, and the player could seek new challenges in his career. Son Heung-min's potential departure means Tottenham's era is over. The move could open the door for him to return to another European league, or Asia, and he is considering his next destination, he said.

However, some predict that Tottenham will not send Son Heung-min easily. Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 23rd that `Tottenham will issue a clause that will end the transfer rumor about Son Heung-min and extend his contract until 2026' Son Heung-min is expected to play soccer for Tottenham from 2025 to 2026. Currently, his contract expires next summer, and several European clubs are working to sign him. However, Tottenham fans can now be relieved that Son Heung-min will play for Tottenham until next season.
Then 'Tottenham risks further angering Son's aides after Son's extension clause was invoked. Tottenham can let Son lead the team further without paying more from their wage budget, but this can be interpreted as his achievements not being recognized. Even if Son Heung-min tries to leave Tottenham, he is now in a position to ask for a large transfer fee worthy of his skill,' he said, explaining that it could be difficult even if Son was disappointed with the team and tried to leave.

This is unfortunate news for Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min has consistently expressed his willingness to remain a Tottenham legend. 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 exceeded 400 Tottenham games, and he 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 decided to extend the contract period until 2026 and watch the situation rather than renewing the contract with Son Heung-min for a long time. Son Heung-min is also currently weighing on staying at Tottenham, so it is unlikely that he will leave the team immediately. German reporter Florian Flettenberg said, `Son Heung-min will remain with the team after the summer of 2025. This is because the contract is expected to be increased to 2026 through the extension option. Son Heung-min is also known to want to stay at Tottenham.
Along with concerns about Son's physical condition, whether Son Heung-min will renew his contract has also been linked, drawing great attention. As Son Heung-min, he is regretful about the early replacement because he wants to show a performance that overturns Tottenham's notification of notification of renewal, but management of injuries cannot be ruled out.
