Crazy! 2 goals and 5 assists is the alternative to SON caps? Is Tottenham making the right choice

However, Tottenham's performance is too poor as it strongly promotes recruiting Son Heung-min as an "alternative to Son Heung-min". He has refused to renew his contract by applying excessive strict and cold standards to Son Heung-min, and is giving generous evaluations to players who want to recruit new players. There are doubts about whether Tottenham's decision is for the future.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 20th (Korea time) 'Tottenham club accepts that its relationship with Son Heung-min, who was an icon of the team, is over and is seeking to recruit a Premier League star as a No. 1 alternative.'"

Eze is one of the players who recently attracted great attention in the EPL transfer market. Tottenham had already pushed for Eze's recruitment during the transfer market last summer. Even at that time, Eze's role was regarded as 'Son Heung-min's replacement'. Eze, who made his professional debut with the Queens Park Rangers (QPR), was reborn as a mainstay when he joined Crystal Palace in the summer of 2020. He then served as Crystal Palace's ace in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 11 goals and 4 assists. As a result, the stock price rose quite high in the transfer market last summer.
TBR Football has become a key role for the team since joining Crystal Palace in 2020. In particular, Tottenham's plans to recruit 'Eze are already underway and are a major target in the summer transfer market, especially as they are getting stronger and stronger throughout the season. It is currently at the forefront of the recruitment competition,' the report said.

Tottenham no longer have expectations for Son Heung-min. I'm judging that my form is declining as I get older. High weekly pay is also burdensome. Therefore, Tottenham only accepted a one-year extension instead of renewing the contract. Tottenham's leadership, including chairman Daniel Levy, no longer intends to extend Son's contract. There is a possibility that Son Heung-min will leave the team through the summer transfer market right away. Tottenham is also preferring Son Heung-min to transfer in the summer to collect the transfer fee.

With such a plan, Tottenham have no choice but to prioritize finding Son's replacement. And at this point, Eze is considered the most likely alternative.
However, it is unclear whether Eze will be able to play the role of a real replacement for Son Heung-min. First of all, this season's performance is not good. Eze, who played with 11 goals and 4 assists in the 2023-2024 season, has played in 21 league games this season and has only two goals (5 assists).

It remains to be seen how Tottenham's choice to abandon Son Heung-min and catch Eze, who has only two goals this season, will lead to an end.
