Tottenham and Son Heung-min seem to be coming to a crossroads. While the South Korean star became the first Spurs captain since Ledley King to lift silverware at the end of last season, he could be set to leave before the next campaign begins.
The 32-year-old has been in north London for a decade now, and rumours have been rife that he could leave. However, things are still up in the air after Ange Postecoglou's exit.
Despite inspiring his team to lift the Europa League in Bilbao, the Australian boss was replaced this summer by former Brentford head-coach Thomas Frank, and it's clear that the new man will need to have conversations with key personnel before any decisions are made.
One thing that seems certain is that Son will be present on the club's pre-season tour, which stops in South Korea. Due to sponsor commitments, Spurs are incredibly unlikely to sanction a sale before that tour is completed.
Rumours have linked the attacker with a transfer to Saudi Arabia, and with just a year remaining on his contract it could be the perfect time for him to leave the club after a year crowned by the Europa League success.
So, should he stay or should he go? Our football.london writers give their verdict below...
Sam Truelove
For me, it all depends on Son Heung-min. The Tottenham captain deserves to choose whether he remains with the club for a further year or departs after ten years service. In my opinion, the South Korean should stick around for one more year.
With Spurs in the Champions League, surely a season in Europe's elite competition appeals to the 32-year-old? If Tottenham want to get a fee for their captain, they could offer him a new one-year deal so he still has one year remaining come next summer. Then everyone wins.
His leadership in the dressing room should not be underestimated and with Ange Postecoglou no longer around and Thomas Frank the new head coach, Son's experience will be invaluable.
Tom Coley
A fresh start for Tottenham under Thomas Frank feels like a good time to move on from Son. If he is thinking about an exit then maybe it is right for all parties.
There is definite value to keeping him but financially, this is the last chance to get any sort of real fee for him. Surely someone will pay at least £30million for someone of his quality, even at his age?
It really is a tough one. Postecoglou had started to favour others at Spurs and it's clear to see why. He isn't the same force of a few years ago and Frank will demand energy and intensity in the press from his players.
It would be hard to say goodbye to Son, but it is better to be honest in these conversations than blinded.
Joe Doyle
There are pros and cons to each option. For me, it could be the ideal time to say goodbye. Or at least, it would have been, had the skipper been able to bid farewell to fans at the trophy parade after lifting the Europa League title.
Ultimately, I don't think you can argue that he has been as effective in attack in the last couple of season as he was previously, whether that be due to injuries or his general output declining. But at the same time, he offers so much to the club in terms of leadership and setting standards on and off the pitch.
For me, the issue in him leaving would be that, following a terrible season in the Premier League last year, the squad looked very light on experienced professionals who could carry the burden of leading the team. And there's no way that improves if Son is sold.
Ultimately, it should come down to whether Son wants to stay or not. He's put his time in and deserves the right to make up his own mind on whether he stays or moves on to a new project. But I have a feeling he leaves.
Matthew Abbott
Son staying a Spurs next season would be more valuable than any transfer fee they receive for their captain this summer. Coming off the worst individual season of his career, it is a surprise that there remains interest from elsewhere.
As such, it wouldn't be a case of cashing in and would be worth the gamble of keeping Son to see if the South Korea international can rediscover his form. Such a scenario could then see the forward sign a new contract, as Mohamed Salah has recently.
In a summer of transition from Spurs and some ill-will still existing from the coaching change, they could do worse than keeping Son around rather than opening up another leadership void in the team. It took him stepping up to fill that in the first place, and especially with any departure not happening until after pre-season, it is debatable whether there are characters already at the club who could command that respect.
Kieran King
As much as it would be a difficult decision to make, I think Tottenham might be better off selling Son and reinvesting the cash on a new left winger. Son, who is set to turn 33 in July, has been at Spurs for 10 years now and it might prove to be the right time to offload him.
Tottenham could do with a refresh in the squad and Son, despite the fact he managed 11 goals and 12 assists in 46 matches, would be one of the players that should be sold. Son's performance levels dropped throughout 2024/25 and I feel as though they would be better off signing a younger alternative.
Someone I would look at is Alejandro Garnacho. He is 12 years younger than Son and has the potential to replicate, or even better, what the South Korean has achieved during his career. Garnacho could be tempted to move to north London due to Champions League football and is expected to leave Manchester United.
