Tottenham without Son Heung-min (34, LA FC) fell into an uncontrollable slump. There are also self-deprecating voices in the region, saying, "I'm glad Son Heung-min is not with us this terrible season."
Housper HQ, which deals with Tottenham news, shed light on the reality of Tottenham, which collapsed after Son Heung-min's transfer on the 6th (local time).
"Son Heung-min proudly left for the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) after leading the UEFA Europa League (UEL) title by scoring the most offensive points in the team last season," the media said. "His vacancy feels so painful for Tottenham, who faces a high-caliber gun."
Tottenham reportedly failed to fill the huge void left by Son Heung-min last summer or make a proper attempt. The media pointed out, "I'm sorry for Mohammed Kudus, Dominic Solanke and Matistel, but if Son Heung-min remained, he would have been the best striker in the team without a doubt."
He pointed out the lack of leadership as well as the tactical aspect. Although current captain Christian Romero is under excessive criticism, he has not completely replaced Son Heung-min's leadership, and he criticized the failure of Mickey Panderpen, who wore the armband, as not worth mentioning.
The media said it was difficult to find a positive side to Son Heung-min's transfer, but it offered the only comfort that emphasized Tottenham's gloomy current situation. It is that Son Heung-min has not been part of this 'failed season'.


"It was a fairytale ending for Son Heung-min to leave the club with a major trophy against Europe for the first time in more than 40 years," the media said. "The ending now seems more perfect in that he became a part of the team that was demoted and did not tarnish his achievements."
Son Heung-min's final season was also not rosy, he recalled. At that time, Son Heung-min fell short of his old skills at the end of the season due to chronic injuries, and the team finished with a humble performance of 17th place in the league. However, he analyzed that if he remained at Tottenham and played a murderous schedule between the English Premier League (EPL) and the Champions League (UCL), his physical condition would have been even worse.
Instead of saying that Son Heung-min's last career was marred by the general crisis under Thomas Frank or Tottenham's relegation, the media explained the bitter current situation, saying, "We can look back on his career and the glory of 2024-25 seasons."
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who left Tottenham for LA FC after last season, is active as he is quickly reborn as a league superstar. Last season, he played in 13 games even after joining the team, scoring more than one offensive point per game with 12 goals and three assists. In this season, he has been showing overwhelming performances with one goal and five assists in five official games since the opening of the season.
