According to Tottenham Hotspur News, Son is said to have quietly said goodbye after the UEFA Europa League final. |
Not appearing in any official promotional images or videos , the Korean star has raised public suspicions about the possibility that he is preparing to leave Tottenham Stadium, especially in the context of lucrative invitations from Saudi Arabia returning.
According to Tottenham Hotspur News , Son is believed to have quietly said goodbye after the UEFA Europa League final. The club has since begun a restructuring of the squad, and Son’s absence from next season’s shirt campaign is seen as the first clear sign of that. It is the first time since 2015 that a player who is considered a global icon for Spurs has been left out of their biggest pre-season marketing campaign – a move that is hardly accidental.
At 32, Son is on the other side of his career. Last season, he scored just seven goals in 30 Premier League games, his lowest tally in years. A long-term injury also kept him out of the starting lineup for the European Cup final, capping a quiet season.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Pro League – which has recruited a host of stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane – are said to be making a renewed approach. Al Ittihad offered Son a salary of up to £25.3 million ( $32.4 million ) a year last year, and with the Saudi transfer window opening on July 20, negotiations could soon resume. Son, with his pan-Asian influence, would be the perfect image boost for the expanding league.
Tottenham have yet to make any official statement about Son's absence from the shirt launch or his future, but the ongoing series of events seems to have sent a clear message: Son Heung-min's nearly decade-long journey in North London is coming to an end.
If this is indeed a farewell, it will not only be Tottenham who have lost a leader on the pitch, but the Premier League will also say goodbye to one of the greatest Asian players in the history of the competition. A memorable chapter may be coming to a close - quietly but meaningfully.
