Son Heung-min will stay at Tottenham Hotspur, manager Thomas Frank confirmed, despite interest from Los Angeles FC. Frank praised Son’s versatility, his strong character, and his consistent goal-scoring ability throughout his ten years with the club, emphasizing that his position is secured.
Despite interest from Los Angeles FC in the MLS, Son Heung-min is set to remain at Tottenham Hotspur. Manager Thomas Frank confirmed the news, emphasizing Son's importance to the team and his versatility. While the 33-year-old's contract extends until 2026 and last season saw his lowest goal output since his 2015 debut, Frank is focused on utilizing Son's ability to play both centrally and on the left wing.
The addition of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham increased Tottenham's attacking depth, raising questions about Son's future. However, Frank dismissed these rumors, highlighting Son's strong character, his impressive performances in recent friendlies, and his ongoing training with the team. Frank also pointed out that Son's ability to play multiple positions, unlike some other attackers, is a significant asset.
Son's extensive history with Tottenham is undeniable. In ten years, he's played more games (454) and made more starts (366) than any other player. Only Harry Kane surpasses his goal involvement (269) for Spurs. His 127 Premier League goals place him second in the club's all-time scoring charts, testament to his consistent contributions.
Despite his impressive career, Son’s productivity dipped last season, a factor contributing to transfer speculation. However, Frank remains confident in Son's continued goal-scoring ability, and believes that getting him into the right situations on the pitch will unlock his potential once more. In his words: "The thing about Sonny is that he will always score goals, so it is just about getting him in those situations."
