While Son Heung-min is suffering from harsh criticism locally due to his lack of leadership, news has been reported that Tottenham Hotspur are considering a new captain.
"Tottenham can appoint an ace who receives 75,000 pounds (about 132.36 million won) a week as its new captain instead of Son Heung-min," the British 'Football Fancast' said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time).
The media said, "Tottenham and Anji Postecoglou are likely to replace Son Heung-min's captaincy with another member who is not noticeable in the team. Son Heung-min, 32, has not signed a new contract yet and has no will to share the future with Tottenham," explaining that he could leave the captain's position to another player instead of Son Heung-min, whose contract is scheduled to expire next summer.
According to the media, the new captain Tottenham is considering is Italian goalkeeper Gugliemo Vicario. "Tottenham is expected to take on a new captain's role instead of Son Heung-min," the media said. "If Son Heung-min leaves in 2026 after triggering a one-year extension option, a new captain is needed to replace him. Vicario was impressive overall after moving from Empoli to Tottenham," he said, adding that Vicario could replace Son Heung-min.
"Tottenham can use Vicario as its future captain. It is similar to the way former No. 1 Hugo Lloris, who has been captain for a long time, has been captain for many years," he said. "Tottenham has full confidence in Vicario and wants to make him the new Lloris. We are planning to appoint Vicario as captain in the future season," he added. "After Lloris, we will once again leave the captain's armband to the goalkeeper."
Son has been under criticism from local fans for being the "worst captain." Amid this development, Son is on the verge of handing over the captain's armband as news spread that he could be replaced by Vicario.
Recently, fans criticized Son's lack of leadership over Son's interview after losing an important rival derby with Arsenal. After losing 0-1 in the North London derby against Arsenal on the 15th, Son Heung-min said, "We led the game, but we lost a point in the set piece again," adding, "It's really disappointing that we did that last season."
The fans did not hesitate to say, "He is a shameful captain," "He is the worst captain in our team history," "Being a captain does not mean winning a match." "A player's voice has authority, and he should be able to motivate people. He is not a captain."
Of course, Son's performance on the day was not very good either. He started in the North London derby wearing the captain's armband as usual, but failed to display remarkable performance except for one shot in the second half. In the U.S., critics continued to say that Son lacked performance. Under such circumstances, fans erupted when Son claimed he dominated the match.
In fact, Son was not able to properly control his players. In an away match with Newcastle United, Tottenham players were seen arguing with each other to kick free kicks. Some pointed out the selfish attitude of the players at the time, but some suggested that Son might lack the ability to control players.
Amid local controversy over Son Heung-min's leadership, Tottenham also seems to be considering a super-strong move to change its captain.
In addition, the fact that Son Heung-min is scheduled to leave the team due to the expiration of his contract next summer is one of the reasons Tottenham is speeding up its new plan. 안전놀이터
Football FanCast said, "Tottenham has potential concerns that Son's contract will expire. It has an option to extend his contract with Son by one year, which will allow him to stay until 2026. However, under the current contract, it will expire in 2025," adding, "Postecoglou has only given ambiguous answers about Son's contract," stressing that Son could soon leave Tottenham.
According to the media, Tottenham is likely to appoint Vikario as its new captain if Son Heung-min leaves. However, if Son's leadership continues to falter as it did in the early days of this season, the timing of the captain's change could be accelerated. Son's leadership has been put to the test in just one year.
