This week, Tottenham Hotspur fans will get to see Heung-min Son again. On Tuesday, he will be there, down N17, beaming and emotional as he waves goodbye to the club he devoted the prime years of his iconic career.
Poetry has a funny way of weaving its way into so many narratives in football, and there was certainly something romantic about the South Korean legend sealing silverware on his final game for Spurs, ending the endless drought.
Tottenham haven't really replaced their former captain, just as someone on a level with Harry Kane at number nine has not been signed either.
That may change in 2026.
Spurs lining up new forwards
In October, Tottenham announced a £100m equity injection. What this pertains to could go on interminably, but it effectively means Frank's first-team squad will be seeing some improvements in the near future. Investment is imminent.
And it's clear that additions are needed up top, with the potency Son provided - even on the decline, the 32-year-old scored 24 goals and assisted 19 more across his final two Premier League campaigns - yet to be matched.
Should the Lilywhites win the race for RB Leipzig prospect Yan Diomande, with their interest confirmed by Caught Offside, Frank might just land the talisman he is looking for.
The report claims Spurs are among the myriad of top clubs to have sent scouts to watch the 19-year-old winger this season, and such competitive intrigue indicates a market value or around €80m (equating to £68m).
The news comes just days after it was revealed by separate sources that Spurs were in 'very advanced talks' with the player's agents last week to sign the player.
Why Spurs should sign Yan Diomande
Diomande might be in the hatchling stage of his career, but already, he is proving that he can throw down with the heavyweights, having made an electric start to his career in Germany with Leipzig, scoring seven goals and supplying four assists across 15 matches this term, having joined from
The Ivorian winger's technical skills stand out, and a slippery dribbling style makes him a force to be reckoned with. Coach Harry Brook believes he will "be worth £100m plus" in the not-too-distant future, and so it's worth Tottenham snapping him up promptly.
Already, we can observe startling progress across a range of areas for Diomande. He is physical and he is fast, and he is also fostering a natural-born clinical edge in front of goal, with his defensive work-rate not leaving much to be desired either.
Remind you of anyone? This could be the new Son, especially since he hails from the Bundesliga, with Tottenham signing their departed hero from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.
Diomande is showing signs of elite balance in output. He's got an eye for goal, but that doesn't detract from his playmaking, and nor does it mean he shirks away from defensive duties, from using his speed to cover plenty of ground and influence in different areas.
Son, in many ways is irreplaceable, and perhaps that's why the board opted against trying to find a carbon copy, as they did with Kane.
But now, real quality, bona fide quality, is needed up top, else Tottenham will find themselves struggling to match the might of rivals at the top of the Premier League.
Diomande has talent in spades, and he might just find himself developing into a winger of a similar level with Son, following that Korean legend's footsteps from Germany over to English shores.
