Did you start removing the SON already? Terrible Tottenham's selfishness blocked option-starting transfer and is seeking to recruit a replacement



Tottenham Hotspur's selfishness has gone too far. Every decision is only in the interest of the club. It has also been revealed that he does not consider any respect for the legend of the team at all.

Tottenham has already started erase Son Heung-min. He is about to throw away Son Heung-min (33), who has devoted himself for 10 years. When there was a chance to transfer to another team, he blocked the road by exercising the option to extend the contract, and as soon as the contract period was extended by one year, he actively sought to recruit players who would serve as substitutes. 'Hijacking' also rushed in with a willingness to do so. The plan is to minimize the gap when Son Heung-min is released.

British media Sports Bible reported on the 16th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is trying to recruit Alejandro Garnacho (21), who was going from Manchester United to Napoli'




Garnacho from Argentina moved to Manchester United Youth in 2020 from Atletico Madrid Youth Team. Garnacho, who has already stood out since then, made his adult debut in 2022 and grew into Manchester United's main winger last season. In the 2023-2024 season, he played in 36 EPL games (30 starts) and scored seven goals and four assists. Thanks to this, he was also selected for the Argentine national team.

However, after just one season, his position has completely narrowed. So far this season, he has played in 19 league games, scoring only three goals and one assist. He became a rotation member from a built-in main player, but he is not showing his skills due to these changes. Above all, he completely lost the trust of director Hu Beng Amorim. In the end, Garnacho appeared as a transfer market sale in January. United are thinking of selling garnachos. It is judged that it is better to reinforce the new player with the funds.

After Garnacho appeared in the transfer market, Serie A Napoli showed the most active interest. Napoli need a winger to use immediately. Hvicha Kvaratshelia left for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in French Ligue 1. Garnacho seemed the most appropriate replacement. Just in time, Garnacho was also positive about moving to Napoli. A contract seemed imminent.




But here came 'invited guest'. It's Tottenham. Football Transfer said Tottenham inquired about Garnacho's signing. An inside source said on One Football "For Tottenham, Garnacho is the right player to be the long-term replacement for Son Heung-min, the team's winning team."

The reason why Tottenham suddenly jumped into the transfer process between Manchester United and Napoli is literally revealed in the source's words. Tottenham already have Son Heung-min's farewell as a fait accompli. However, if Son Heung-min leaves right away, his offense will be greatly weakened. So I chose a suitable player as a substitute for Son Heung-min in advance, and that's Garnacho.

Tottenham intends to offer Napoli a transfer fee of about 58 million pounds (about 103.1 billion won). Tottenham are serious about signing Garnacho. In particular, coach Enze Postegoglu, who was extremely angry after losing 1-2 against Arsenal, said "It is unacceptable. The form of our players is unacceptable, and the results are unacceptable. We need to change." Garnacho is the one who suits Postecoglou's taste.

Postecoglou remains indifferent to Son Heung-min, who scored the first goal in the match against Arsenal. I replaced it at an important moment in the second half. It's going to get worse and worse. Son Heung-min has already become a player that coach Postecoglou and the club do not care about.
