Brentford boss Thomas Frank has dropped a major hint that Son Heung-min's illustrious spell at Tottenham Hotspur may be nearing its conclusion. The South Korean forward, a fan favourite at Spurs, could be set for a new challenge after nearly a decade in North London.
Speaking ahead of Brentford's pre-season preparations, Frank remarked, "Sometimes players reach a point where they need a fresh start. Son has been incredible for Tottenham, but all good things must come to an end." While not directly confirming any transfer talks, his comments have set the rumour mill spinning.
Son's Tottenham Legacy
Since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son has become Tottenham's all-time leading goalscorer in European competitions and formed one of the Premier League's most deadly partnerships with Harry Kane. However, with Kane's departure last summer and Tottenham undergoing a transitional phase under Ange Postecoglou, questions about Son's future have grown louder.
What Next for the Spurs Captain?
At 32 years old, Son remains one of Asia's most marketable footballers, with potential suitors in the Middle East and MLS monitoring his situation. A return to Germany or a final big-money move to Saudi Arabia could also be possibilities for the 2022 Golden Boot winner.
Tottenham fans will be hoping for clarity soon, as the club prepares for another crucial Premier League campaign. With pre-season underway, Postecoglou will need to know whether he can count on his skipper or if he'll need to enter the transfer market for a replacement.
