British media Give Me Sports reported on the 11th (Korean time) 'Tottenham will carefully consider reorganization considering the possibility of Son Heung-min's exit'
It is a shock. Son Heung-min is known as the legend of Tottenham. He joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. For the next 10 years, he has become a striker representing EPL as well as Tottenham. Son Heung-min scored double-digit points for nine consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Puskas Award in 2020. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Puskas are the first and only Asian players to date. In addition, he has led the team as Tottenham's captain since the 2023-2024 season.
The atmosphere is unusual these days. Tottenham experienced the pain of being eliminated from both tournaments in just four days. Tottenham was completely defeated 0-4 in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal of the 2024-2025 season against Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 7th. Tottenham took the lead with a 1-0 home win in the first leg of last month's semi-final. Even if they drew on this day, they were in an advantageous situation to reach the final. However, they had a nightmare defeat at Anfield with a total of 1-4. As a result, Tottenham's first attempt to win the League Cup in 17 years since winning the 2007-2008 season went up in smoke.
Son Heung-min started as a left-side striker on the day. However, there was no goal that was expected. The shot bounced off the opponent's goal post and swallowed the disappointment. Jamie Redknapp, who played for Tottenham in the past, said "Players are partly to blame. I don't think Son Heung-min is playing the captain role. I've never seen a team lead. When the team was struggling, what did he bring?"
Tottenham lost 1-2 to Aston Villa in the round of 32 strongest teams of the FA Cup in the 2024-2025 season at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, on the 10th. Tottenham was blocked by Liverpool in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) and failed to advance to the finals, but even the FA Cup was eliminated in the round of 32. Son Heung-min also started as a left-side striker on the same day. He played full time and aimed for the score. However, Son Heung-min bowed his head with only one effective shot left. Above all, he was criticized for missing a decisive opportunity in the 23rd minute of the first half. British media Express gives Son four points and appears to be getting a free ride from the coach. Recently, other players have been publicly criticized by the coach.

Son has scored six goals and seven assists in 21 matches in the EPL this season.
