When talking about Korean star Son Heung-min, fans who pay attention to world football must be familiar with him. As recognized as the "No. 1 Asian", Son Heung-min stood in the five major European leagues as early as 2010. In the following 16 years, he played for three teams, Hamburg, Leverkusen and Tottenham, contributing 222 goals and 115 assists, and creating 337 goals by one person. And the 33-year-old "King of Sun Qiu" may be given up by the team.

According to the British media "London Football", after Danish coach Frank replaced Postkoglu and joined Tottenham, Son Heung-min's position in the team took a sharp decline. In an interview with the media, Frank did not give a positive response to Son Heung-min's future. Instead, when talking about another player who was plagued by transfer scandals, Frank's position was very firm and said that it was "very, very important" to the team.

In addition, when talking about the team's captain appointment for the new season, Frank's attitude was also very vague. Last season, Son Heung-min took over the captain's armband left by Lori and became the leader of Tottenham's locker room. If Son Heung-min stays in the team in the new season, he should continue to be the captain, as usual. After all, no coach will rashly offend a meritorious player who has played for more than ten years. However, Frank said: "I have not made any decision on this issue yet. The team has a series of problems to deal with, and I will solve them one by one in order."

In the friendly match between Tottenham and Reading that ended not long ago, Son Heung-min only came on as a substitute in the second half. Throughout the half, Son Heung-min's performance was very sluggish. He lost the ball many times, and his dribbling breakthrough was not as sharp as before. In Frank's Tottenham team, Son Heung-min is no longer an indispensable role. With his high annual salary, the "No. 1 Asian" is more like a burden rather than a support for Tottenham.

And next summer, Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham will expire. In order to avoid him leaving the team as a free agent next year, Tottenham's best choice at the moment is to sell him in this transfer window. According to the British media, the American professional major league team Los Angeles FC and Saudi tycoons who are not short of money are interested in introducing Son Heung-min. In order to get him, the Saudi team is even willing to offer him an undeniable offer. However, Son Heung-min himself seems unwilling to leave European football so early. I wonder if the Saudis can use their "money" ability to change his mind.

Of course, before the official announcement of the transfer news, there were still variables. Let's continue to watch the show and wait for the latest progress.
