There has been a claim that Son Heung-min (Tottenham) should be transferred. The reason is that his skills have declined.

The Tottenham fan community Tottenham Hotspur News mentioned on the 25th (Korean time) that "Tottenham is having a bleak season. Son Heung-min is in the same situation. The slump is unfortunate. It is only a matter of time before his performance ends."

They further reported, "If Tottenham finds a suitable replacement, Son Heung-min could leave the team next summer."

GiveMeSports reported, "Tottenham is seriously considering the sale of Son Heung-min. If a decision is made to dispose of him, it will be the biggest decision."

They added, "The weekly wages of Son Heung-min, Richarlison, and Timo Werner amount to 800 million won. If disposed of, a considerable amount of money could be saved."

Tottenham News reported on the 26th that "Tottenham could sign a striker for £45 million (85.1 billion won) and then finalize Son Heung-min's departure. If a suitable replacement can be found, Son Heung-min may prepare for a transfer this summer."

Having scored 7 goals in 26 matches of the Premier League, Son Heung-min is receiving evaluations that he is not meeting expectations this season. Locally, attention is being drawn to the fact that his performance is gradually declining.

Jamie O'Hara, a former Tottenham youth and current pundit, continued his criticism of Son Heung-min. He stated, "Son Heung-min is no longer suitable as Tottenham's captain," adding, "The lack of leadership is a problem stemming from him and the coach. He is disrupting rather than leading the team."

He also stated, "He was a fantastic player and provided many memories for Tottenham. However, at a time when the team needs to come together, he should step back from the captaincy. A new leader is needed."

O'Hara mentioned that he is facing backlash from Korean fans after criticizing Son Heung-min. He said, "My social media account is flooded with negative comments 24 hours a day. However, my opinion does not change," and emphasized again, "Son Heung-min was once the best in the world, but he is not now. He can no longer achieve anything. It is time for him to leave the team."

Martin Allen, a former Brentford manager, also offered similar evaluations. He said, "Son Heung-min is no longer maintaining his speed like before. The frequency of him seizing goal chances has also decreased," suggesting, "It would not be surprising if he is transferred. His skills are such that a Championship (second division) team would want to acquire him."

Jermaine Defoe, a former Tottenham striker, also expressed a similar view. In an interview with "Sports Mall," he mentioned, "It is natural for a player to leave for a new team as they age. Tottenham is likely looking for a replacement for Son Heung-min," referring to the possibility of a transfer.

GiveMeSports remarked, "Tottenham is entering a new era. A significant decision must be made for an offensive overhaul. Son Heung-min is no exception."

They noted, "He is not a player that must be disposed of, but there are players who should be accepted if offers come in. The first is Son Heung-min. He has been an icon of Tottenham for years and is undoubtedly one of the best Premier League players of all time. However, the decline has begun and his performance has noticeably dropped compared to the past. It may be time to sell and secure cash before the situation worsens."
