Tottenham’s ‘underrated’ player is now ‘likely’ to be sold this summer

Tottenham Hotspur had some tough decisions to make heading into this summer.

Indeed, Spurs have a number of situations where they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Sacking Ange Postecoglou wasn’t an easy decision, and Hugo Lloris was shocked that Postecoglou went.

Meanwhile, Spurs have a few big decisions to make on some key players this summer, including their captain.

There have been calls for Heung-Min Son to be sold in recent times, and according to Dean Jones, speaking on the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast, the Korean is now likely to leave Tottenham this summer.

Heung-Min Son likely to leave Tottenham

Heung-Min Son has been an incredible servant to Spurs over the past decade.

The attacker has produced quality time and time again for Spurs, and, still in the eyes of some Son is ‘underrated’.

However, at the age of 33, he’s beginning to wind down, and according to Jones, it’s now likely that Son will leave Spurs this summer.

“Further up the pitch, Tottenham will have to decide what they do with Heung-Min Son. He could definitely leave, it’s not completely decided yet, but I would say it’s likely now that Son does leave. The only realistic place at the moment is Saudi and I don’t think that is ideal,” Jones said.

Heung-Min Son departure marks the end of Tottenham era

Heung-Min Son’s departure from Tottenham will mark the end of an era at Spurs.

Indeed, Son was the last man standing from the 2019 Champions League final, and now, every single player who played in Madrid that day has moved on.

A number of key players from Mauricio Pochettino’s side are now retired, while some are still playing at the top level.

The sad reality is that Father Time remains undefeated in football, and as Son gets older, he’s getting slower and less agile as well.

The attacker is still a top player in many aspects, but, sadly, if Spurs are to evolve, they probably do need to say goodbye to their captain.
