'It's over now. Goodbye SON'
Tottenham Hotspur are really about to end their 10-year relationship with Son Heung-min (33). Reports continue to pour in in the UK that Son Heung-min will be sold in the summer transfer market and that the team will quickly move forward with a generational change based on the funds.
Even another successor's name appeared to take over Son Heung-min's position. Even if Tottenham pays the club's highest transfer fee ever, it is evaluated as a player worth bringing. Jamie Gittens (21) of England who plays for Dortmund in the German Bundesliga.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Tottenham entered the competition to recruit Gittens worth 84 million pounds (about 151.8 billion won) in the summer transfer market' In addition to Tottenham, Arsenal are also seeking to recruit Gittens. This means Tottenham should compete with Arsenal for recruitment.
Dortmund's young rising star Gittens moved to Dortmund after growing up with the Manchester City youth team. Since the 2021-2022 season when he was 17 years old, he has grown steadily by being put into Dortmund's first-team game early. In his first season, he played in 15 games (4 starts and 11 substitutes) and showed good performance with three goals and one assist.
Team Talk is 'Tottenham is now considering signing Dortmund star Gittens with £84 million. He explained that he has made a huge impression on the team this season, and if Tottenham pay the amount currently being discussed, they will break the team's transfer fee.
Pursuing the recruitment of Gitens can be interpreted as Tottenham's complete relationship with Son Heung-min. Team Talk 'Gitens has played on the left wing in all but one game so far. This suggests that Tottenham consider Gittens as a long-term replacement for Son Heung-min.
In the end, Tottenham is planning to sell Son Heung-min in the summer transfer market to collect transfer fees, save his weekly salary, and bring Gitens to the role that Son Heung-min has played. Team Talk is expected to secure the funds needed to recruit Gitens by selling Son Heung-min, saying, `Gitens is contracted with Dortmund until the summer of 2028 and requires a huge transfer fee.' Several clubs in Saudi Arabia wanted Son Heung-min for a long time. Son Heung-min also refused in the past, Tottenham didn't want it, but things could change this summer,' he reported.
