Son Heung-min Featured as Main Model for Tottenham New Kit Despite Ongoing Transfer Speculation, British Media Points to Uncertain Future

Despite Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min being selected as the main model for the team's 2025-26 season new away kit, British media are pointing out that his future remains uncertain.

Tottenham recently unveiled their new away kit through their official website, featuring Son Heung-min as the main model alongside Guglielmo Vicario, Djed Spence, and Dominic Solanke. However, British football media maintain that this doesn't necessarily indicate Son's stay with the club.

Football.London reported that Son Heung-min faces an uncertain future at Tottenham, noting that while he appeared as a key model wearing the new kit, it remains unclear whether he will actually play next season wearing this uniform. The significantly reduced screen time for Son in the kit promotional video has also drawn attention.

talkSPORT reported that Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Qadisiyah are offering a total annual salary of 40 million euros (approximately 63.2 billion won) to recruit Son Heung-min. This represents a considerably higher level than Son's current Tottenham salary, with the economic temptation being substantial.

Meanwhile, British media including BBC have pointed to Son Heung-min's declining performance and reported that Tottenham is considering recruiting a new winger. Last season, Son recorded 17 goals and 10 assists, but disappointing performances in some matches have become targets of criticism.

Opinions are divided among Tottenham fans as well. Some fans interpret his participation as a kit model as a signal of his stay, while others view it as merely a marketing activity. Criticism of Chairman Levy's commercial approach has also been raised.

Football experts highly evaluate Son Heung-min's achievements at Tottenham while analyzing that this summer could be a turning point considering his age of 33 and the team's new tactical direction. Particularly, with Tottenham aiming for Champions League qualification, squad reorganization is seen as inevitable.

Son Heung-min has established himself as a club legend during his eight seasons at Tottenham. He holds the record for most goals by an Asian player in the Premier League and significantly contributed to Tottenham's Europa League victory last season. However, recent performance decline and the team's tactical changes are expected to affect his future.

Tottenham has not yet released an official statement regarding Son Heung-min's future. However, the final decision is expected to be made based on the new manager's tactical plans and the flow of the summer transfer market. For Korean football fans, Son Heung-min's future destination has become the biggest concern.
