Tottenham are entering a brand new era after hiring Thomas Frank to be their new manager.
Indeed, Spurs are heading in a new direction under their new manager, and that likely means there will be a squad refresh.
New signings will be a priority this summer, Antoine Semenyo has been linked to Spurs, while Thomas Frank wants Bryan Mbeumo.
New attacking additions will likely lead to outgoings in the attack, and according to Alasdair Gold, speaking on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, Heung-Min Son could be a player who leaves Spurs.
Heung-Min Son closer to leaving Tottenham than ever
Heung-Min Son was a world-class player at his best, but, sadly, this season, Son has been off his game.
David Pleat called for Son to be sold recently, and according to Alasdair Gold that is a more distinct possibility than ever this summer.
Indeed, according to the journalist, Son is more open to leaving Tottenham than he ever has been.
“He set out to achieve something and he achieved it, and he’s been there for 10 years. I think it’s quite important to look at some of the quotes that came out ahead of the final, where he made it very clear to the Korean media. Then I think after that to some English media that he admitted, I pretty much stayed at this club because I wanted to win a trophy,” Gold said.
“So you can kind of analyse that as if to say that had he won a trophy, maybe he would have looked at opportunities that came in. And now he has won that trophy. And that’s what I understand, is that this summer is definitely the most open he’s been to getting a move if it’s one that suits all parties.
“Obviously, the Saudi Pro League, the clubs there, I think, would be very, very interested in taking him, some of them, because that’s a big thing for them to harness the Asian market. We know how huge he is within. And of course, he is also a terrific player. He is a superstar player.”
Who could replace Heung-Min Son as Tottenham captain?
If Son leaves Spurs, not only will Tottenham be losing a club legend, but they will also be losing their captain.
Spurs will need a new skipper if Son leaves this summer, and there are some interesting candidates to take up that role.
Tottenham do have captain contenders, Ange Postecoglou named Cristian Romero, James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario as three other leaders in the Spurs squad.
Romero and Maddison are currently vice captains, so it would make sense if they stepped up.
Meanwhile, Kevin Danso has earned praise for his leadership skills since joining Spurs, so perhaps he could be a candidate too.
Thomas Frank may have a big decision to make almost as soon as he takes charge at Tottenham.
