Jamie O’Hara shot Son Heung-min again.
Britain’s “Talk Sports” reported on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) that O’Hara evaluated Son Heung-min. O’Hara is a Tottenham midfielder who has played for six years since 2005, but has not played in many games. He retired after playing at Wolverhampton, Blackpool and Fulham. O’Hara, who plays as a soccer expert, drew attention as he often made critical remarks against Son Heung-min.
After the last Brentford match, O’Hara said, “What do you think of Son? I think it’s over now. Son has lost his finishing touch in the Final Third. Son was a great player for Tottenham, and he was an amazing and fantastic player. But not now.”
“When I watch him play, I can’t feel his sharpness or sharpness,” Ohara said. “When Son Heung-min comes forward in a one-on-one match, it was a goal for sure. No player was better than Son, but we need to find a new left winger.”
O’Hara has not changed. “Son Heung-min is not world-class. I think he was a world-class player, but he is no longer a world-class player. I am not ignoring Son. He is a legend and loves him. And when he plays, Tottenham will show better performance. But it is not world-class,” he said.
Son appeared to oppose the renewal of his contract. Son, who left Leverkusen for Tottenham, played in 417 official matches for Tottenham, scoring 165 goals and 87 assists. Based on the Premier League, Son has 123 goals and 65 assists in 310 matches. He has scored his 123rd goal in the Premier League alone. He is the 19th player to score in the Premier League history. He has kept Tottenham Hotspur in the absence of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Hugo Lloris. Since last season, he has been at the center of his team. He had 17 goals and 10 assists last season, and played in seven matches this season to post three goals and three assists despite injury issues.
Son Heung-min, who is under contract until this season, includes an option to extend his contract by one year. Fabrizio Romano, who is famous for his “HERE WE GO” when his transfer is in the process of becoming a fait accompli, also reported on the 14th, “Tottenham has begun the process of activating the clause extending Son’s contract until June 2026. Tottenham’s plan is to let Son play for at least one more season.”
“Chances are growing that Son will stay at Tottenham for another year, and it is expected that Tottenham will issue a one-year extension until 2026. It is almost decided. Son also wants to stay at Tottenham.”
Tottenham’s lukewarm attitude led to rumors that it would transfer to Barcelona along with other leading Saudi Arabian clubs. He was linked to Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and was also mentioned as a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The British newspaper “Team Talk” said on Sunday that French mega club PSG has been watching Son for a long time. It had plans to recruit Son before. If Tottenham fails to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, it will sell Son in the summer of 2025. “The Saudi Arabian League teams are also interested in it,” Son said.
To be honest, the possibility of reality is low. The argument was that if there is no possibility of staying at Tottenham, several teams would come forward because Son Heung-min, who has star quality and 비아그라, could be recruited for free. To be honest, the possibility is very low, and it can be said that it converges to zero.
There are doubts over Son, who is likely to stay at Tottenham. “He is the highest paid player in Tottenham with 190,000 pounds (334.18 million won) a week. Details have not been decided yet when renewing the contract, but the salary will not be raised too much. It is difficult to bet a large amount on a player who has been injured frequently during less than half of the season. The amount that Son will be paid in advance can be used to bring in a player several years younger than Son.”
“He has been a healthy player for most of his career, but he has already missed six games this season. He recovered from injury a few weeks ago, but playing intense matches will cause him to suffer from hyperextension. No matter how strong his physical strength is, his recovery is slow as he gets older. Son said, “We need to consider whether it is right to renew the contract with Son by 2026 as he is suffering from unstable injury even though the season has been only three months.”
“Son Heung-min has not had the best moment in his relationship with Tottenham Boardjin,” Spain’s Pichahes said on the 17th. Recently, Son Heung-min disagrees with Tottenham’s proposed contract extension. The complaint stems from Tottenham’s plan to renew the contract while maintaining the current conditions. Son Heung-min thinks this is not enough given his outstanding performance.
“Son Heung-min, who was the core of Tottenham, believed that his commitment and performance guaranteed an improved contract in terms of contract period and salary. However, it seems that Boardjin tends to activate a one-sided clause that puts a burden on contracts without adjusting their salary.”
“Son Heung-min, who played an important role in Tottenham’s success, displayed his capabilities and leadership both inside and outside the stadium. Nevertheless, there was no progress in negotiations, and rumors about his future were circulating. There were speculations that if an agreement is not reached, he could potentially move on. Tottenham is facing pressure to resolve the conflict with Son, and fans want both sides to reach an agreement to make Son happy and focus on the team’s goals,” he added.
Of course, there are opposing opinions. Robinson, who used to be a goalkeeper for Tottenham, opened up about signing a contract between Son and Tottenham. “I wouldn’t be surprised if (Tottenham) is negotiating with Son to extend his contract further,” he said through Football Insider in the U.K. “Considering the relationship with fans and what the club thinks of Son, I think he will stay as long as he wants.
