Football magazine 'Football Insider' reported on the 29th (Korea time) that Tottenham has a big problem to solve as captain Son Heung-min's contract expires after this season.
Financial expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Son was a huge part of Tottenham and earned a lot of money from Korean supporters.
"If Tottenham don't make it to the Champions League, it will have a big impact on PNL (profit and loss). Naturally, we will face big problems related to some key players."
Tottenham (23 points), which is set to play at home in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season against Wolverhampton at midnight on the 29th, fell to 12th place.
It is 11 points shorter than Nottingham Forest (34 points), which is ranked fourth, the last place to qualify for the European Champions League.
Son has seven goals and six assists, including the Cup this season.

"If you look at the number of fans coming to see Son Heung-min, it will be a big blow to Tottenham," he said, predicting that his break-up with Son will have a huge impact.
'Football Insider' introduced the results of a survey conducted by the Tottenham uniform sponsor AIA in 2022. According to an AIA survey, Tottenham has the support of about 12 million Korean fans due to Son's influence.
Tottenham produced various rumors as it has not yet renewed its contract with Son Heung-min until this month, half a year before the end of the contract.
Sports media 'The Athletic' and British public broadcaster 'BBC' predicted that Tottenham would sign a one-year extension contract included in the contract.
