Tottenham fans have delivered their verdict on the Heung-min Son exit rumours, and it is clear that there is one thing on every supporter’s mind – the final call must rest with him.
According to recent reports, Heung-min Son may depart from Tottenham Hotspur this season, after his decade-long spell in north London.
Interest from Saudi Arabia remains in Son, while Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce is keen on reuniting with the Tottenham captain once more this summer.
With interest aplenty, Son has a decision to make, and now Tottenham fans have given their verdict on whether they want the Korean forward to remain for one more season or if he should leave this summer.
Tottenham fans react to Heung-min Son exit talk
Speaking on X, formerly Twitter, the Spurs fanbase voiced their opinion on the recent reports stating that Thomas Frank is open to selling Heung-min Son this transfer window.
While some believe that the 32-year-old can leave, other supporters believe that the club’s captain should not be forced out of N17.
One fan said: “The comments make me sad. It does not matter what we want, just hope he gets to make the decision on his own, with no pressure. It is the least he deserves from the amount of times he has stayed when he could have gone.”
MORE SPURS STORIES
Another said: “Absolutely the right time. Tel, Odobert and Moore on the left and then move the Son money to the right. To caveat, in absolutely no way should we be forcing him, the guy is a f**king legend and has earned the right to call time on his Spurs career when it is right for him.”
One fan believes now is the time to sell: “Sell, it is a business and making money on all transactions is important.”
Another echoed the popular sentiment that he has to decide: “Content for it to be Son making the choice here because at this stage it would need to be something he is good with. Unquestionable decline but he has still got a lot to offer.”
Another believed since it is a new era, the club captain could leave: “Much like selling Kane when Ange came in, I think selling Son now that Frank is here is logical. Ushering in a new era, with new stars and a new core.”
The state of Son’s Spurs legacy as exit talk grows
Of course, Son is a legend of Tottenham Hotspur. The 32-year-old has given his peak years to Spurs, scoring 173 goals, the fifth most in the club’s history, after making 454 appearances, the sixth highest of any Tottenham player.
Last season, the Spurs captain secured his legacy as a club legend when he hoisted the Europa League trophy high up under the lights in Bilbao, Spain.
Despite the winger’s drop-off in form, his loyalty to Tottenham cannot be questioned, as Son remained in Spurs despite receiving offers from elsewhere.
Indeed, like many fans have alluded to, the Korean forward needs to be treated like a legend, and the least Tottenham can do is let him leave on his terms. Whether or not Son departs this summer remains to be seen.
