Son Heung-min is likely to leave Tottenham this summer. |
The 33-year-old has just one year left on his contract, while there is interest from Saudi Arabia and MLS. However, Son will still be part of next month's Asian tour, which will include friendlies in Hong Kong and his home country of South Korea.
Regarding the captaincy, coach Frank said frankly: "We have not decided anything. It is my right and I will handle everything in order. Tomorrow, Son and Cristian Romero will wear the captain's armband in my first match against Reading."
The former Brentford captain also left open the possibility of letting Son leave if the player wishes: "When someone dedicates 10 years, it is a difficult problem for the club. In the end, all decisions will be agreed with chairman Daniel Levy and technical director Johan Lange."
At the press conference, Frank was cautious when talking about transfers, refusing to comment on Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) and the deal of Bryan Mbeumo - his former student at Brentford - who just joined Manchester United for £71 million.
However, the 51-year-old strategist affirmed that he shares Chairman Levy's ambition: "Tottenham must aim for the Premier League and the Champions League. There are at least three teams stronger than us at the moment, but Spurs will fight to close the gap."
When asked about the pressure of the “hot seat” at Spurs, where Chairman Levy has changed coaches five times in just a few years, Frank smiled: “I have never been fired. This is the challenge I want to experience. All my decisions are aimed at building a long-term future, not just surviving each match.”
