TA: Son Heung-min s future at Tottenham is not yet clear, and the team may be forced to enter the market to find Solank s substitute

The Athletic reporter Elias Burke posted a post discussing two current problems of Tottenham.

When witnessing Son Heung-min as Tottenham Hotspur captain winning the UEFA Cup in May, the facts that fans already knew were confirmed were confirmed, and he was already a legend in Tottenham Hotspur. But even the most loyal fans have to admit that the Korean star's offensive efficiency has declined significantly last season. With the age of 33 this month, he may no longer be the world-class left winger who was enough to play the main role in any European giant.

This week, The Athletic revealed that the FC Los Angeles FC is interested in Son Heung-min. Although the star, who played 333 Premier League games for Tottenham in the past decade, has declined in form, but the data from 17 goals (7 goals and 10 assists) in 30 league games last season proves that he can still contribute to Frank's youth team on and off the court, and this influence should be given priority when evaluating any offer.

However, the sluggish performance against Weiconby Rangers is increasingly worrying that his peak has passed. In the second stop of the upcoming Asian tour, Tottenham Hotspur will visit Son Heung-min's motherland. The appeal of this Asian football superstar will surely add another help to the club's reputation in the local area. But it is still unknown whether this trip to East Asia in Tottenham's battle robe will become a masterpiece.

It is basically certain that Solank will start his journey as Tottenham's main center in the new season. The England international was preventively absent from the match against Luton due to a minor ankle injury. Without subsequent complications, he is very likely to make a comeback when he plays the Super Cup against Paris or when the Premier League opener faces the newly promoted Burnley three days later.

His absence gave Terl and Richarlison the chance to start one in Saturday's two friendly matches, but neither of them could seize the opportunity. Although Tel, 20, has a steady ball possession and can hit the Luton defense line, he is obviously not suitable for the role of a single arrow. Richarlison lost many opportunities when he played against Waikbey Wanderers earlier. The younger 20-year-old player Rankhill and 21-year-old Scalett still lack the experience of regular striker strikers in major competitions.

During Solank's knee injury and absent from January and February this year, the sharp drop in the offensive threat of Tottenham Hotspur became one of the reasons for the decline in record last season. If no one in the current front line can prove that he can bear the big responsibility, the club may be forced to enter the transfer market to find a gun.
