Do it Now Son Heung-min (Tottenham) 'Bullar' is out.
French media Foot Mercato said on the 2nd (Korean time) 'There are questions about Son Heung-min's status, but the problem could be even deeper. Tottenham are having a difficult time this season. Son Heung-min represents this new failure. He has played for Tottenham since 2015 and seems to have lost his talent despite his good performance. The Tottenham fan likes him, but you can see his performance has dropped markedly in recent weeks. Son Heung-min will no longer be the same. In addition to reducing influence on the field, the inner attitude may have changed. Son Heung-min will look isolated in the locker room, where Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane have left and are the only ones alone. Kane's departure would have had a huge impact. Son Heung-min's smile disappeared from this period of time,' he reported.

This is shocking. Son Heung-min is Tottenham's ace player. Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He has established himself as a striker representing the English Premier League (EPL). From the 2016-2017 season, he achieved double-digit scores for nine consecutive seasons. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the EPL joint top scorer (23 goals) 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. He has been leading the team as Tottenham's captain since the 2023-2024 season.
Son recently set another milestone. He posted EPL No. 8 and No. 9 assists in a match against Ipswich last month. He scored 10 goals and 10 assists in official games this season. As a result, Son achieved his fifth season '10 (goal)-10 (help)' on the professional stage alone. He achieved double-digit scoring-help in the 2017-2018 season (18 goals-11 assists), the 2019-2020 season (18 goals-11 assists), the 2020-2021 season (22 goals-17 assists), and the 2023-2024 season (17 goals-10 assists).

The atmosphere is strange recently. Tottenham was eliminated from the Carabao Cup and the English Football Association (FA) Cup in succession in the 2024-2025 season. The arrow of criticism turned to Son Heung-min. Phil Thompson, who played for Liverpool in the past, said on a podcast that `I think it's important for players to be with the manager. It must be hard because there are so many injuries. But there are also players who seem to be lost. Are they no longer listening to the director. The biggest player is Son Heung-min. What happened to him. He was an energetic player. But now it looks like there is too little energy. It seems that there is no more passion, dedication, or ability to do so.'
Rumors of a sale have even emerged. British media Give Me Sports reported 'Tottenham is going through a tricky time. A full-scale reorganization may be needed to move in the right direction. Tottenham is said to be considering Son Heung-min's exit and will carefully consider reorganizing the squad. Son Heung-min has been a Tottenham icon for many years. However, there are currently open opinions about Son Heung-min's transfer. Son recently extended his contract by one year. But now I have to make a big decision. The sale of Son Heung-min will undoubtedly be the biggest decision.
In this situation, it was said that Son Heung-min could reunite with Kane, who moved to Bayern Munich. Recently, Spanish media Pichahes reported that Bayern Munich, one of the best clubs in the world, can sign Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min's future is currently unstable at Tottenham. Bayern appears to be one of the attractive destination options Son could consider' Son Heung-min was also embroiled in rumors of a transfer to Bayern Munich last year.
