Tottenham set to pocket ‘huge revenue’ as big Son Heung-min reunion lined up
Tottenham’s reunion with Son Heung-min could expand beyond December.
Son departed Tottenham over the summer after almost a decade in North London.
When others left the club in search of silverware, the South Korean stayed and lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy with Spurs as the ultimate reward.
December has already been mooted as a chance to reunite with the left winger, but another reunion date could already be in the works.
Tottenham to face LAFC in pre-season
Son bid farewell to Tottenham to reunite with Hugo Lloris after a successful career in North London.
Despite netting in stoppage time, Vancouver defeated the winger’s side on penalties in the MLS Playoffs last Sunday.
This means that Son and Tottenham could reunite as early as Spurs’ Premier League clash against Brentford on 6 December.
In addition to this, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham believes that a pre-season friendly game between Spurs and LAFC is already being discussed.
“I sort of expected this to happen at some point,” Wenham said.
“I think it’s natural with the MLS season, now concluding and his side you not making the playoffs. He’ll obviously be warranted a hero’s welcome, and it’ll be great to see him.
“And I said, I probably predict that Tottenham would have already lined up a friendly to take place in South Korea this summer against his MLS side, which will bring in huge revenue for both clubs. I think that’ll just be a continuing positive relationship moving forward.”
Tottenham cannot replace Son Heung-min
Spurs’ left wing has been waiting for someone to stake their claim all season.
Over the last couple of weeks, Wilson Odobert has come close, but the French international has been inconsistent as of late.
Son gave some of his best years to the Lilywhites:
- Son made 454 appearances for Spurs
- He netted 173 goals and provided 101 assists
And given Tottenham’s limited attacking intensity this season, Thomas Frank is struggling to replicate the South Korean’s output.
Tottenham are interested in Antoine Semenyo, who has had a great start to the season.
But given the elite output, dedication and heart Son gave Spurs throughout the years, there doesn’t seem to be a world where the Lilywhites replace him as it stands.
