Is Son Heung-min's successor Yang Min-hyuk at Tottenham Hotspur?
Tottenham fan site Spurs Web shed light on the theme of "Who will succeed Son Heung-min's throne?" on the 22nd.
"He will turn 33 at the end of the season and he is not young anymore. He will not last forever. I think it's time to discuss the successor," he said. "I have picked three best players to take the left side of the Tottenham squad."
Wilson O'Dober, Mikey Moore and Yang Min-hyuk were mentioned as three possible successors for Son.
Spurs Web said, "Yang Min-hyuk is 18 years old and the Korean national team has also been called up. He was selected as a K-League All-Star and played a pre-season tour game against Tottenham."
"Yang has scored 10 goals and six assists in the K-League, and he is skilled in both wings. He has the ability to easily overwhelm the opponent team's defense with agile play and fast speed," he said.
He added, "Yang will have the opportunity to learn from an experienced veteran named Son Heung-min and can expect a mentor role. He may be willing to help him adjust to life in the U.K."
Born in 2006, Yang appeared on the K-League 1 stage as a semi-professional player this season. He left a deep impression by giving assistance 35 seconds after his debut in the opening game.
In particular, he has properly impressed with his tremendous performance this season, including 10 goals and 6 assists.
In addition, he broke all records such as the youngest ever appearance, scoring, and helping Gangwon FC and switched his contract to an official professional player in June.
Big clubs in Europe, which highly appreciated Yang Min-hyuk's possibility, have begun to move. They recently confirmed their transfer to Tottenham. They plan to join in January after completing their K League 1 schedule this season.
Tottenham has high expectations for Yang. As a member of the K-League All-Star, the team already finished its showcase through one game of Coupang Play Series.
"Yang Min-hyuk, who will join Tottenham soon, was impressive," said Jamie Donley of Tottenham. "I think he will be a good player for the team in the future."
Ben Davies also expressed his expectation, saying, "Just the fact that Tottenham recruited him has already proved his skills. I hope he grows well and meets in January with a good performance."
There is a reason why Yang Min-hyuk is mentioned as Son Heung-min's successor to Tottenham.
This is because Son Heung-min is scheduled to gain free agent status as his contract with Tottenham expires after this season.
With his contract with Tottenham expiring after this season, Son Heung-min has the option of extending it by one year, so he can extend it with him.
Tottenham is sensing an atmosphere that they are watching the situation with Son Heung-min after first triggering a one-year extension option.
"Tottenham will invoke a one-year extension option clause to prevent Son Heung-min from leaving the free contract," a transfer market source said on the 10th.
"Son Heung-min will not leave Tottenham right away. We will make him play a key role for the time being," he predicted.
"Son Heung-min has the option to extend his contract until 2026 and will buy time," said Alessdair Gold, a Tottenham reporter for the British media "Football London." 메이저사이트
"Son Heung-min does not want to leave because he is playing an important role inside and outside Tottenham. He also wants to win," he said, noting that they have affection for each other.
In this situation, rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to Barcelona have been raised.
Spanish media 'Catalunya Radio' said, "Barcelona is considering the option of recruiting Son Heung-min for no transfer fee."
"Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham expires next summer. A detailed negotiation table with Barcelona has not been set yet, but Han Ji-flick is expected to be positive," he added.
"It has been confirmed that Barcelona director Deku is negotiating to recruit Son to Barcelona. Due to financial difficulties, Deku had to focus on signing free contracts rather than making massive investments. Chairman Juan Laporta also wants to maintain this policy and is monitoring the situation of players whose contracts expire in June next year. The notable name is Son Heung-min," he said.
"There is news that it is already negotiating, but the recruitment of Son Heung-min will have a tremendous impact on Barcelona's marketing," he added.
However, British media 'Metro' said, "Barcelona is aiming for Jonathan David, Alfonso Davis, Jonathan Ta, and Hainildu Mandaba as free agents in the summer of 2025."
