Follow the team: Los Angeles FC is interested in Son Heung-min, who is open to leaving the team but has not yet been confirmed

July 25th Spurs reporter Alasdair Gold wrote an article to analyze the latest news of Son Heung-min's transfer. Due to rumors about the US League and Tottenham's lucrative pre-season tour, the future of the Tottenham captain is undecided, and new coach Frank has also failed to calm the rumors.

Son Heung-min faces a crossroads at Tottenham this summer, with his contract with North London club only lasting 11 months. He made 454 appearances for Tottenham, scored 173 goals and had 101 assists, and participated in 204 goals in 333 Premier League games alone. He is also one of the most well-known stars in the Premier League. However, his future remains unclear.

"Football London Net" reported on the US League's interest in Son Heung-min earlier last month. His former Tottenham teammate Lori is currently playing for Los Angeles FC. Los Angeles is reportedly trying to make a transfer. Saudi professional league clubs are also interested in introducing them, but Tottenham insists that they have not received any offer for the captain yet.

Son Heung-min's attitude towards leaving Tottenham has become more open. The people he worked with last season felt that he was preparing for a possible departure from Tottenham, and the UEFA Cup victory was the perfect end to his ten-year legendary career at the club. This season, Son Heung-min was unable to find the rhythm due to hamstring and foot injuries, and eventually scored only 7 goals in the Premier League, the lowest data since joining in 2015. But he still did what very few Tottenham captains could do before - win the championship.

Tottenham activated the renewal option in Son Heung-min's contract in January to ensure he will not be a free agent this summer. While the club will respect the Korean star's wishes, this additional 11 months ensure they are unlikely to lose him for free unless he stays for another season to hit the Champions League. It is worth noting that Lowry did stay in Tottenham for six more months in the final season of his contract, and then freely transferred to Los Angeles in the January transfer window. The MEF regular season lasts from the end of February to October, which makes summer signing a little embarrassing, and next season's schedule will be affected by the World Cup.

The American League may be a good place for Son Heung-min in all aspects. This will provide him with a stage to shine alongside Messi at Miami International, where Los Angeles has the largest Korean-American population. New Tottenham coach Thomas Frank failed to confirm that Son Heung-min will stay in the team for his first season in coaching. In fact, he even admitted that he has not finally decided on the captain this season. This is hard to say strong support for the current captain.

When asked whether Son Heung-min should be able to decide his future, the Danes said: "This situation is always tricky. If it happens. The player I currently have is fully engaged, well-trained, and will play tomorrow."

"If a player plays for a long time in the club, of course the club always has to make a decision. Of course, the head coach and the person in charge (the case will be handled by Levi and others) will participate. Because if someone wants to leave at a certain stage, there will be a reason. But in the end, of course it is always up to the club."

If Son Heung-min stays, Frank must decide how to best use him. There has been a lot of debate about whether he is more suitable to play in the middle or cut in the left. Postkoglu's system requires him to maintain the width of the sideline and hit the sideline, but this never seems to be perfect. Mourinho maximized his role at the peak of Son Heung-min, and when Kane retreated to the organization, he used Son Heung-min as the runner behind him.

In Frank's first game against Reading last Saturday, Son Heung-min seemed to be confined to the left as in Postkoglu. Although he won two corner kicks that led to Tottenham's goal, he was still out of his best form and seemed to be plagued by a back injury after the game.

will play against Weecombe and Luton this Saturday. If you are healthy, Son Heung-min will play in one of the games, at the training ground or Kenilworth Road Stadium. The club will then be the club's global tour this summer.

The media has previously reported that Son Heung-min himself holds most of his overseas portrait rights - except for game publicity, fans are unlikely to see him wearing a Tottenham jersey in an advertisement - Tottenham earns much less than many people think.

But this is by no means trivial. Son Heung-min's main income comes from the lucrative pre-season tour of the Asia-Pacific region, which has been touring the region every season since 2019 (except for the summer affected by the epidemic). Over the years, it has been reported that it is estimated that it will earn as much as £10 million per tour.

These tours and Son Heung-min's presence at the club have also brought the club's brand attention in this huge market, including sponsorship opportunities and a large number of fans from the region (who are now following Tottenham and may remain on the lookout even if the captain starts a new chapter in his career).

Tottenham will arrive in Hong Kong on Monday before heading to Son Heung-min's home country South Korea later this week for a friendly match with Arsenal and Newcastle. If the club's big-name star does not appear on the tour, it will involve economic penalties, and Son Heung-min is undoubtedly the biggest star among them. After the

Tour, Son Heung-min may reunite with Kane in Munich, and then there is a chance to compete for another trophy in Udine through the European Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain. By then, Tottenham should have a clearer understanding of Son Heung-min's next step, as Frank hopes to avoid repeating his predecessor Postkoglu's mistakes that lost Kane a few days before the 2023 Premier League start.

Ultimately, Son Heung-min should decide on the future. He has dedicated ten years to Tottenham and has successfully ended the decade with a rare achievement of modern clubs - the trophy. Anyway, he will be a legend when he leaves.
