Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) has no meaning, but there have also been reports linking him to the Saudi Arabian League.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 20th (Korea time) that “He is expected to remain at Tottenham this summer despite rumors of captain Son Heung-min moving to Saudi Arabia with Hishalisson.”
He hinted that Son Heung-min and the Saudi Arabian League were connected again.
However, it is certain that Son will not go anywhere this summer. He is under contract until the summer of 2025, and the prevailing view is that he will stay at Tottenham until 2026 by invoking a one-year extension option. 안전놀이터
Team Talk predicts that Son Heung-min can go to the Saudi Arabian League in 2026, if not right now.
Meanwhile, Son’s name is being mentioned every day ahead of the opening of the season. Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou mentioned Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham Hotspur) who has recently become a target of racism.
According to the British media Football London on the 19th, Coach Postecoglou recently said on the issue of racism, “It’s not our decision, we have to follow Son Heung-min’s decision.”
Son Heung-min has become a victim of racial discrimination. Rodrigo Bentancourt, a fellow Tottenham player who appeared on the Uruguayan television program “For La Camisetta” on March 15, was asked to wear a uniform for Korean players. He wanted Tottenham’s captaincy Son Heung-min. Bentancourt also said, “Son? (Son Heung-min’s nickname)”.
“It could be Son’s cousin’s uniform. They all look the same,” Bentancourt said with a smile. The host laughed together while clapping back. It is a clear racist remark that all Asians look alike.
After the controversy, Bentancourt released the first apology on the 15th. He said, “Sonny my brother. I apologize for what happened. That was a really bad joke. I love you so much, and I want you to know that I will never ignore or hurt you or anyone else. I love you brother.” However, the apology sparked a “controversy over authenticity” when it was posted on an Instagram story that disappeared in 24 hours.
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. did not make an official statement. The club’s response was different from the past when it made a fast statement on racial discrimination.
In the end, Son Heung-min came forward. “I talked to Bentancourt. She admitted that she made a mistake and apologized. She didn’t mean to say anything insulting on purpose,” he said. The victim put to rest the controversy.
Local reporters also asked Postecoglou about the issue on Wednesday. He apparently thought the issue had not been resolved neatly.
According to Football London, Postecoglou announced that he would not have a separate meeting with Bentancourt on the matter, saying, “What’s important is how Son Heung-min feels and his decision.”
Fans are divided over his answers. Some are compatible with the view that it is supportive of Son Heung-min and that he should have protected the player more firmly.
