Son Heung-min has a bad news. Manchester City's 'Star' is moving to Tottenham. Analysts say it is time to consider leaving for another team as there is a high possibility of losing the selection competition.
England Football London said on the 31st (Korea time) "Jack Grealish's transfer to Tottenham is becoming a reality," he reported.
Grealish, who is 29 years old, has played 18 games for Manchester City this season, but half of them are not guaranteed time to play as substitutes. Grealish recorded only two offensive points in the game he played. Even this is a record in September, and it can be said that it has recently fallen into a swamp of complete sluggishness. His last goal was in December last year.
As a result, the possibility of Grealish's transfer is expected. Tottenham Hotspur is known to be one of two English Premier League (EPL) clubs interested in Grealish ahead of the opening of the winter transfer market.

Foreign media are also reporting that Grealish could leave Manchester City next month. In addition to Tottenham, Newcastle United is the EPL club that is interested in Grealish.
Grealish's salary is a considerable amount. If he moves to Tottenham or leases, he will have a high-paid player beyond Son Heung-min.
"Grealish is known to receive about 300,000 pounds (about 550 million won) per week, and if the transfer becomes a reality, he will beat Son Heung-min to become Tottenham's highest-paid player," Football London said. "This is the same in Newcastle, where wages are similar to Tottenham."
Grealish's transfer is bad news for Son Heung-min. Grealish's preferred position is a left-sided striker who exactly overlaps with Son Heung-min. The two players have similar play styles, and Son Heung-min's recent form is not good, so it will be difficult to coexist.

If his transfer becomes a reality, Son Heung-min should also think about leaving the team. Foreign media are continuing to report that he will leave.
TalkSport of the U.K. reported on the 29th that Tottenham will make a big decision on the future of club captain Son Heung-min.
The media reported that `Former Premier League striker Tony Cascarino questioned whether Son Heung-min, 32, could sign the new contract he wanted.'
Cascarino said Son Heung-min's remaining five months are likely to be his last at Tottenham and sometimes he has to make difficult decisions.
`I don't think Son Heung-min will stay at Tottenham,' Cascarino said. `I think he is one of the players who has to make a big decision.' "He has been doing great for Tottenham for many years, but it's time to leave now," he added.

Tottenham currently have the option to extend Son's one-year contract. Discussions are reportedly underway in this regard.
However, Cascarino insists Son Heung-min's skills must be greatly restored for Tottenham to sign a new contract.
`If Son Heung-min performs well in the second half of the season, Tottenham will definitely catch Son Heung-min,' he said. `If he plays well in the second half, Tottenham will activate the extension option.' "At the moment, I think Son Heung-min is more likely to go."," he added.

Son Heung-min was sluggish again in the match immediately after the report.
Son Heung-min's team, Tottenham, drew 2-2 in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Wolverhampton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 30th.
Son Heung-min contributed to the draw. Tottenham's Brennan Johnson won a penalty at the end of the first half, when the match continued at 1-1. Son Heung-min, the kicker, missed the penalty.
If Son Heung-min's penalty was successful, it was a game that could have been won, and negative evaluations from foreign media poured in.
The British Evening Standard gave Son four points, the team's lowest rating, and evaluated the penalty kick miss as a result of his lack of confidence and mental and physical fatigue.
Football London also gave Son the lowest rating of four points, saying, `At the end of the first half, Jose saved a penalty kick.'"Son Heung-min failed to impress in this match and was replaced in the second half."," he said.
