Mick Brown, a former scout for Manchester United and Aston Villa, said in an interview with British soccer media 『Football Insider" on the 25th (Korea time) that Son Heung-min did not perform enough to turn the situation around when his team was struggling early in the season. So I thought his legs weren't the same. Certainly, this season has dropped, and there is no more and more effective performance in the game", he commented.
Son Heung-min, who scored 17 goals and 10 assists in 35 EPL games in the 2023-2024 season, scored 6 goals and 9 assists in 23 games this season. The help pace is higher than last season, but the scoring pace is significantly lower. He has scored only one goal in the last 10 EPL games, and has no goals in five games. Son Heung-min, who scored one goal every 173.4 minutes last season, scored only one goal every 292 minutes this season.

However, Brown predicted that Tottenham would not choose to break up despite Son Heung-min's poor performance. Son Heung-min activated a one-year extension option with Tottenham last month, extending the contract period to June 2026.
Brown said "I think Tottenham will leave Son Heung-min behind. Son Heung-min is their captain and their important player, but he is not sure that Son will be a key player for Tottenham in the long run.
Son Heung-min has recently been embroiled in rumors of a transfer to Manchester United. Give Me Sports reported on the 24th that Manchester United wants Son Heung-min to reinforce its top striker. Manchester United has been criticized for recruiting a player whose career is nearing the end, but he said he will be welcomed by fans because it is a "world class".
In addition to Son Heung-min, 'Football Insider' predicted that key defender Mickey van der Penn could leave the team. Currently, Liverpool is interested in recruiting Dutch centerback Van Der Penn, the media reported.
