[스포티비뉴스=박대성 기자] Son Heung-min (29) is the core of Tottenham Hotspur. The transfer rumor broke out as the team fell into sluggishness. Recently, it was connected with Juventus, the traditional Italian Serie A. There was even a story that he even set a heavy transfer fee. However, he shook his head in the theory of transfer while emphasizing happiness at the official event.
The European football schedule is running in the second half. Tottenham took the lead in the Premier League with an overwhelming performance in the first half, but crashed with only one win in the last six games. The European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League also fell to the opaque ninth place.
Locally, Tottenham’s sluggishness spread the rumor of a key player transfer. Linking Harry Kane with Manchester City emphasized the time to transfer. The same was true of Son Heung-min. Italian media’Calcio Mercato’ predicted that “Juventus is planning to secure a large capital in the summer to recruit Son Heung-min,” and expects to pay a transfer fee of 90 million euros (about 1206 billion won).
The situation for the Tottenham team was also bad. After saying goodbye to White Hart Lane last year and building a new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a new coronavirus broke out. It is a situation where the audience cannot expect revenue. I invested 1 billion pounds (about 1.53 trillion won) in the new stadium, but it was not recovered.
It was covered by a reasonable bank loan, but the worries were great. According to the year-end accounting settlement announced by Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy in November of last year, Tottenham recorded a deficit of £63.9 million (about 98 billion won) after tax.
In the UK, there was a prospect that Tottenham would sell a key player to overcome the financial crisis. It means that even if you advance to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League, there will be no difference. This is why they are interested in the future of Son Heung-min and Kane, who are the best duo ever in the Premier League.
According to’Football London’ on the 18th, Son Heung-min attended a press conference ahead of Wolfsberger in the first leg of the Europa League round of 32. Locally asked for a renewal of the contract, which is expected to be announced at the end of last year. A lukewarm reaction to the renewal could fuel the Juventus transfer theory.
Son Heung-min shook his head, saying, “In the current situation, it is not appropriate to talk about the renewal of the contract. Currently, we have to focus on the team and the upcoming game.”
However, he said, “I am currently happy with Tottenham. I am doing my best as a Tottenham player.” First of all, he dismissed the recent transfer of Juventus in Italy.
Locally criticized Mourinho tactics for Tottenham’s sluggishness in the second half, but Son Heung-min thought differently. “The players are responsible. We lost points due to our mistake. We must take responsibility,” he stressed. “The Europa League is important. We are focusing on the big game and the knockout stage. We will win.”
