Former player believes Heung-Min Son will not stay at Tottenham | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur’s captain, Heung-Min Son, has long been a crucial part of the club’s success, but recent performances have raised doubts about his future at Spurs.

Despite his historic contributions, there is now speculation that this season could be Son’s last in North London.

Former player and pundit Tony Cascarino believes that unless Son experiences a significant revival in form, he might face an unexpected exit when the season ends.

Son has been one of the Premier League's most consistent and exciting attackers, but his recent performances have been less than stellar.

The 32-year-old seems to have lost some of the explosive pace that defined his early years at Spurs, and his goal-scoring touch has also appeared to desert him.

With his contract expiring next summer and questions surrounding his role at Tottenham, Cascarino has weighed in with his views on the situation.

Cascarino has suggested that Tottenham might not take up their option to extend Son’s contract for another year, a decision that would come as a surprise given his legacy at the club.

On talkSPORT, Cascarino said, "I don't think Son will stay at Spurs. No, I don't. I think it's one of them that you've got to make a big call on as well. He's been brilliant for them over the years, but it's time to move on in football sometimes."

Despite the murmurs of a potential exit, the forward’s future could still depend on his performances for the rest of the season.

Cascarino added that if Son can rediscover his form in the second half of the season, he could earn another contract extension. "He will survive, or they would definitely keep him, if he had a second part of the season that was superb," he said.

Can Heung-Min Son turn his form around?

If Tottenham decides to part ways with Son, they would need to activate the one-year extension to sell him, ensuring they don’t lose the player on a free transfer.

His form will be key in the coming months, with Spurs needing a resurgent performance to justify extending his stay.

Son has a proven track record, and while his form has dipped, there’s no doubt he remains capable of bouncing back with another strong goal-scoring campaign.

Ultimately, Tottenham’s decision will hinge on what Son can deliver in the coming months. Now, fans will be hoping that the captain can rediscover his best form and prove his worth once more.
