Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL), who left Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC), is constantly shaking. Local media even criticized him sharply when he sold out a young prospect who was considered Son Heung-min's replacement.

"Tottenham should not repeat the mistakes made regarding Son Heung-min to Brennan Johnson (current Crystal Palace)," British media outlet HQ said on the 14th (Korea Standard Time). "Now Tottenham lacks both sides of the striker. Tottenham has already not found Son Heung-min's successor or used the transfer fee to recruit a left winger, it reported.

The media recently questioned Tottenham's transfer policy. "Last summer, Tottenham sent legendary Son Heung-min, who led the historic UEFA Europa League (UEL), to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS)," Hospers HQ said. The bigger problem is that there was no substitute," he pointed out.

Son Heung-min left Tottenham and has been active on the U.S. stage since moving to LAFC. But Tottenham lost their left-hand attack destructive power. The media pointed out, "Tottenham has not recruited proven resources such as Ademola Lukman (Atalanta) to minimize Son Heung-min's gap, and Thomas Frank is not even able to properly utilize players such as Matistel and Wilson O'Donbert."

Even Tottenham is losing its right flank power. Johnson, who scored the winning goal at the time of winning the Europa League in 2024-2025 season, moved to Palace.

In the meantime, Tottenham's right winger is in the injury ward. Following Dejan Klusevski, Mohamed Kudus also collapsed due to long-term injuries.

"Tottenham is struggling to reinforce its winger as it has been rejected by players such as Antoine Semeno and Omar Marmusi (Manchester City)," the media said. "Currently, Tottenham is closer to the relegation zone than the fourth-place fight."

In addition, not only the team but also the leadership of the club are on the verge of collapse. Taking local reports together, even general manager Fabio Paratici, who returned ambitious in October, will leave the team in just four months.

According to local media such as "The Athletic," Paratic will leave Tottenham for Fiorentina, Italy, in early February when the transfer market ends in January. General manager Paratic is well known as a transfer market expert who proved his outstanding eye by recruiting Kulusevski, Christian Romero, and Destiny Udogi.

"Tottenham, which failed to reinforce after the sale of Son Heung-min, is now on the verge of losing both wings," Hotspur HQ said. "If we fail to recruit substitutes such as Oscar Bob or Magnes Akliwor, the rest of the season will be dangerous."
