With the future of Son Heung-min still unclear, we asked for your thoughts on whether the Tottenham captain should be given a new deal.
Here are some of your comments:
Peter: Give Son another two years as captain. May only play one game a week but hisleadership to younger players – on and off the pitch – is so valuable.
Frank: Son has been a great player and ambassador for Spurs. Head says sell now but heart says let him choose his own path as a reward/thank you.
Conrad: Son should be allowed to do whatever he wants. He is a club legend. Signed a new deal when Harry Kane was off and could have easily gone to a European giant years ago. Leave the decision to him!
Clare: This is such a difficult one. On a personal level, I don’t want Sonny to leave (ever!) and I understand the reasoning in selling him with his levels dropping off last season, but you can’t ignore the impact he makes in coming on and his assists. I feel that with our young squad and with a new manager and coaching staff we need Son there as a stabilising influence too. But, knowing how Daniel Levy and the board are they will grab the £34m or whatever it is on offer.
Adam: Unfortunately he’s been pretty poor for two of past three seasons. I think the expectations of a nation, game time and travelling have taken their toll. Forever a Spurs legend. Sell him to wherever he wants to go and build him a statue!
Charlie: With Thomas Frank in charge, I’d feel Son will benefit more. Let’s face it. The season just gone everyone scored more goals but no-one was an outright goal machine due to how ange had the team set up. I’d say give him this season. If by March/April, he wants to extend then offer it to him. If not, build a statue and let him go wherever he wants for free. He’s been an absolute saint for spurs and seeing his emotions with James Maddison after the Europa League win, he can leave with his head so high, he’d have to duck out the stadium.
Sally: Yes, give him a two-year deal. His assist stats are still good, if he has a better striker playing with him, he will score more too!
