‘Son has played his final game for Tottenham’ after official transfer announcement
Son Heung-min’s near-decade-long stay at Tottenham appears to have come to an end after an official transfer announcement.
Son finally won silverware with Tottenham as he lifted the UEFA Europa League in Bilbao.
However, the South Korean wasn’t at his best this season and has garnered interest from Saudi Arabia as their next marquee signing.
Therefore, it seems that the 32-year-old’s time at Hotspur Way has come to an end, especially after an official transfer announcement was made by Tottenham.
Tottenham announce the permanent signing of Mathys Tel
Mathys Tel joined Spurs from Bayern Munich in February on loan until the end of the season.
While he wasn’t a consistent starter under Ange Postecoglou, Tel did score three goals for Tottenham, and Thomas Frank clearly liked what he saw of the Frenchman.
| Player | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes |
| Mathys Tel | 20 | 3 | 1 | 1.257′ |
As officially confirmed by Tottenham on Sunday (15 June), Tel has made his loan stay permanent, signing a six-year contract in North London.
And this could spell trouble for Son, whose future is expected to be decided in the coming weeks.
While Tel can be deployed as a centre-forward, the 20-year-old was primarily used as a left-winger under Postecoglou. Therefore, this could be where his future lies.
Son could refuse to accept a rotational role, which could signal that he has played his final game for the North London team.
Tottenham need a player like Tel
Few forwards are as versatile as Tel in football. The youngster is almost as capable as a centre-forward as he is as a left-winger. His signing will now be a huge boost for Tottenham in their UEFA Champions League campaign.
Current Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated that a deep squad and versatile players are essential for teams to become first-time winners. Tel offers this and more.
Therefore, the permanent transfer of Tel is a step in their right direction for Spurs to win all trophies next season, even if it means the end of the road for Son.
