Thomas Frank has broken his silence on Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham, offering a measured yet hopeful take on where the club captain fits into his long-term plans.
Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham Hotspur remains uncertain, after reports emerged in recent days that the Korean star is attracting interest from elsewhere.
LA FC are currently the most interested party this summer, with the MLS side very keen on securing the services of the Tottenham captain.
Son only turned 33 years old a few weeks ago and is well along in age. The Korean forward also has just under 12 months left on his current deal, which is set to keep him at Hotspur Way until the summer of 2026.
Thomas Frank outlines plans for Tottenham forward Heung-min Son
Thomas Frank, speaking in his latest press conference ahead of Tottenham’s match against Arsenal, has now shed more light on Son’s situation at Spurs.
The Dane has now revealed his plans for Heung-min Son amid links with the MLS, stating that the Korean remains a valuable asset to Tottenham and is a player who can help the team in different situations.
Thomas Frank said (via football.london): “I think everyone knows that Son has been one of the best players at Tottenham in the past 10 years. I think he’s been hugely successful from the left wing.
“I also think he’s had some fantastic games down the middle as a number nine. So it’s important to have players who can play in more than one position, and it’s about having your best players on the pitch and available.
“So the thing about Sonny is that he will always score goals, and it’s just about getting him in those situations.”
Son recorded 11 goals and 11 assists last season for Tottenham and ended the campaign in the best possible way, lifting his first piece of silverware in a Lilywhite shirt after Spurs’ Europa League triumph.
What Son’s future could mean for Spurs’ attack
Rumours suggest that Tottenham are open to parting ways with Son if the right offer comes in for the versatile forward.
However, it is also claimed that Tottenham are not actively looking to push Son out of the club, preferring that he departs on his own terms if he chooses to do so.
Spurs reportedly make a minimum of £60 million each year from having Son in the squad. If the South Korean were to leave, Tottenham could look to sign a marquee forward to help replenish that income stream.
Still, it remains to be seen if this is a farewell tour for Son or not, as many fans feel now may be the right time for Tottenham to cash in.
