British media 'Give Me Sports' reported on the 19th (Korea time) that Tottenham may have difficulty settling down in the starting lineup while all Tottenham strikers are recovering from injuries.
This season, Son Heung-min is definitely less skillful than before. He has rarely scored a goal due to injuries, poor physical strength, and intensive checks by the opponent's defense. Still, I did my part as a team leader and captain to some extent. Son Heung-min became the first active EPL player to achieve double-digit offensive points for nine consecutive seasons with six goals and seven assists in 22 league games this season.

In short, it means Son Heung-min may not get a chance in the first-team squad next season. Son Heung-min has been silent in a series of recent major games. In the semifinals of the Carabao Cup, he was silent in both the first and second games against Liverpool. It was the same against Aston Villa in the 32nd round of the FA Cup and Manchester United in the 25th round of the EPL.
Then, Tottenham fans and local media criticized him. There has also been an undervalued atmosphere close to 'flat terrorism'. He was even humiliated by the fact that `it is not a claim.' "Tottenham's crisis stemmed from the coach and captain," said Jamie O'Hara from Tottenham. "Son Heung-min is no longer the captain of the team. It doesn't suit bringing the team together."

In addition, 'Finding Replacements' is also being implemented in earnest. Following the signing of Matistel, who was pushed to the bench from Bayern Munich, Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund this time. Both are top players in their early 20s. It means that Son Heung-min will be erased as soon as possible and Tottenham's offense will be reorganized with them.
