Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham), who suffered from 'harshness', is expected to be able to relax and play next season. Perhaps, contrary to his will, he may be pushed to the bench. However, if the Tottenham club's plan to foster players and reorganize the squad goes as planned.
Son Heung-min has been overworked this season. Enze Postecoglou's own recognized sea. In an interview with Football London on the 6th (Korea time), he said, `Son Heung-min is under tremendous pressure mentally and physically due to the team situation"I want to give you a break, but I can't."

Son Heung-min cannot afford to rest as a huge number of injuries have occurred since the beginning of the season. In particular, Dominic Solanke, Wilson O'Dober, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner were all injured in the offensive. Coach Postecoglou is replacing Son Heung-min to fill this empty power gap. Son Heung-min, who values loyalty and dedication to the team, is also silently responding to the demands of the team and the coach.

However, there is a high possibility that at least this harsh situation will not occur next season. Rather, Son Heung-min may have to compete for the starting lineup. This is because Tottenham's strategy of continuously collecting and nurturing top prospects in their late teens and early 20s since many years ago is coming to fruition to some extent.
In particular, Yang Min-hyuk (19) and Matistel (20) are at the center.

Yang Min-hyuk is a striker who made a splash in the K-League last season. Tottenham immediately signed a contract during the summer transfer market. Joining the team came at the end of December. However, his England debut was only delayed. It was judged that he could not play in the Premier League with his current vision. In the end, Tottenham sent Yang Min-hyuk to the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in the Championship (second division) to give him a chance to play.
Yang Min-hyuk has been receiving good reviews by playing as a substitute for two consecutive games since his loan. In response, Tottenham director Johan Lange published an interview on the team's official website on the 5th to review and evaluate the January transfer market. Yang Min-hyuk's name was mentioned here.

Director Lange said, "Leasing is a very important step in the development of a player. 80% of players making their debuts in the EPL experience a loan. Some of the most important players in the club's history have also experienced loan as part of their development. Therefore, it is very important to have rental experience. "Yang Min-hyuk, Will, Luca and others need to have a lot of playing time in a good environment. They will return this summer and are ready to compete here again in the pre-season. They will be able to compete in Tottenham's first team again after returning on loan.

Yang Min-hyuk is coming back next summer. On top of that, if the injured recover and Tel, acquired at the end of the January transfer market, confirms the permanent transfer, Tottenham will have a lot of offensive resources to cover both the side and the center. In terms of experience, even if they are far short of Son Heung-min, they are full of power and energy. It is a condition for Son Heung-min to take a good rest. In games of relatively low importance, Son Heung-min may start from the bench more often.
In the long run, this may be the picture Tottenham want. Tottenham don't prefer older players. It can be seen from the fact that Son Heung-min, who is still the team's best ace and has set a legendary record, is not offered a renewal. Tottenham were looking for Son's alternative early on. This is why they are trying to grow Yang Min-hyuk, Tel, and Mikey Moore.
