He seems to be already preparing to say goodbye to Son Heung-min (32) of Tottenham Hotspur FC. The name of the next captain to replace Son Heung-min as the "captain" has been revealed.
"Tottenham has the option to extend Son Heung-min's contract for another 12 months and stay at the club until 2026," a sports fancast said on the 20th (Korea time). Son Heung-min's contract expires in 2025, but added, "Tottenham can change its captain to Guglielmo Vicario instead of Son Heung-min. If Son Heung-min leaves the team in 2026, Tottenham needs a new captain to replace the legendary Son Heung-min."
Son's contract period expires in 2025. Even with only one year left before the contract period, no future has been decided. Local media in the U.K. initially predicted that Tottenham would approve of Son's performance and offer to renew his contract for a long time.

After playing in Venice, Cagliari, and Empoli, he moved to Tottenham Hotspur and entered the EPL.
