Former Tottenham scout deems Heung-Min Son's situation 'ridiculous' | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s star forward, Heung-Min Son, has been a standout player for the club for years, consistently delivering incredible performances.

However, his recent form has sparked concern, leading many to question whether the 32-year-old is still at the peak of his powers.

The issues come against the backdrop of his contract situation, with some speculating that unsettled talks could be affecting his motivation.

Son has failed to replicate the standards he's set for himself this season, leaving fans wondering if he is past his best.

The forward’s recent performances have been notably lacklustre, and his efforts on the pitch seem somewhat disconnected.

Tottenham have long relied on the South Korean international, but with only six months left on his current deal, there is growing uncertainty about his future.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Bryan King, a former Tottenham scout, weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Son’s recent form could be linked to the club’s hesitation in offering him a long-term contract.

King stated, "This should have been sorted out three or four months ago. It is ridiculous. This is a player of quality who has given his football career to Tottenham."

He also expressed concerns about Son's commitment, saying, “Watching the way he has played recently, I question whether 100 per cent of his heart is still at Tottenham because I’d certainly feel aggrieved if I were him. I’m not sure whether Son is happy at the moment."

Although Tottenham are expected to trigger a one-year extension on Son's current deal, fans and pundits alike are wondering why the club hasn’t formalised longer-term talks.

This delay has reportedly left Son's camp surprised, as the initial discussions had led everyone to believe a long-term agreement was forthcoming.

Despite this, the 32-year-old remains professional and continues to work hard for the team.

Son's commitment to Tottenham remains evident despite the contractual concerns.

As King highlighted, Son has been a standout player for Spurs since joining the club, and his performances over the years have been exceptional.

Despite the current uncertainty, Son’s body language and work ethic suggest that he still cares deeply about the club’s success.
