When it comes to the modern legend of Tottenham Hotspur, almost everyone’s first thought would be Harry Kane.
After all, the England captain was the club’s greatest goals scorer ever, dominating the Premier League defense for many years.
But he did so with his sensory talented son Heung-Min. Unlike the Striker, he stayed in North London and showed increasingly unusual loyalty in modern games.
The Korean superstar scored 448 incredible appearances for Lily White, scoring 173 goals and providing 95 assists, becoming a club and league icon.
However, since he is 33 in the summer, Ange Postecoglou and Co need to start thinking about who will replace him, and they may already have the answer.
Potential alternative for my son
So, before you reach the player in question, it’s worth looking at some of the other options that Post-Coglow can do, but you probably shouldn’t rely on next season.

Football Fancast’s Chalkboard series presents tactical discussions centered around global games.
Initially, although it may be on loan at the moment, there is a £45 million option to buy his deal, and it feels like an option that can be activated based on comments this season.
However, while the Frenchman is undoubtedly able to play widely, his long-term future is perhaps his most played position throughout his career, and it was only a few days before he scored two goals for the French Under-21 side.
Another candidate to intervene for his son next season is Hotspur Way’s own Mikey Moore.
The promising talent has played in many positions at the academy, but his most naturalness is off the left, and he made most appearances on the first team.
But at just 17 years old, he has the opposite problem for Koreans. He’s too young to start games for next season and most of the season.
Luckily, the team has a very exciting left wing who is a few years older than Moore and could continue to be a replacement for his son next year and beyond.
Spur’s Ace to replace his son
While things like Dejan Kulusevski, Timo Werner and even James Maddison can all be broadly rolled out, Spurs fans are happy they don’t want to see them there.
So, the best option to trade captains in a consistent lineup is to sign Wilson Odbert in the summer.
Now, as his debut season progresses, this hasn’t been great for the £25 million Frenchman, but that’s not his fault as he suffered from two hamstring injuries that he missed 34 games.
But within the minutes he played, he looked explosive and dangerous, as if he could make something happen.
For example, it was his orthotics against AZ Alkmaar that put the team in the next round of the Europa League.
Additionally, despite playing for the Burnley team, which was ultimately kicked out last season, the “extraordinary” 20-year-old dubbed by football journalist Andres Ondolvia Ramos, scored three goals and provided three assists in 29 appearances.

Finally, the numbers underlying ACE from Meaux-born last season show that he is a superstar in making AS. By FBREF, he shows that he is the top 1% of Premier League Premier League, with top 1% of progressive carry and progressive carrying distance, top 3% of carry and top 7% of successful take-ons.
Ultimately, his son is a Spurs icon, but given his age he will need to be slowly taken away from the team next season.
