'Tottenham Hotspur News', which reports Tottenham news, reported on the 31st, "Tottenham is preparing to part ways with Son Heung-min in the coming summer."

He continued, "As the transfer market approaches, Tottenham needs a new recruit. An experienced Premier League player like Cunha could be a candidate. He only signed a new contract in February, but Tottenham is considering activating his release clause worth 62 million pounds (about 118.1 billion won)."

Cunha has also expressed his intention to transfer. He said through the British media outlet 'The Guardian', "I couldn't leave the club in a difficult situation where the club was in the relegation zone. However, we are now close to remaining in the Premier League. I made it clear that I have to take the next step. I want to fight for the title and for something big. I have potential."

Son Heung-min is a Tottenham legend acknowledged by everyone. He has always been called a signboard since leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen in August 2015 and putting on the Tottenham uniform. In his first season with the team, he had difficulty adapting to the English stage and only scored 8 goals and 5 assists, but from the following year, he showed the capabilities that we know of Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, who achieved remarkable growth by scoring double-digit goals since the 2016-17 season, has shown the same performance for 9 consecutive seasons up to this season. In the 2024-25 season, Son Heung-min has scored a total of 11 goals, including 7 goals in the Premier League, 3 goals in the UEFA Europa League, and 1 goal in the League Cup.

Tottenham's total appearance record is also unprecedented. He has appeared in 448 official matches over 10 years, rising to 8th place in the club's all-time appearances. He has scored 127 goals in the Premier League alone.
