Tottenham are currently working to build a young squad. This summer, Yang Min-hyuk, Lucas Beribal, Archie Gray (born in 2006), and Wilson Odover (born in 2004) were recruited. Pape Sar (born in 2002) and Brennan Johnson (born in 2001) are already active as key members of the team.
Before that, Tottenham boldly sacked players in their 30s. Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, and Hugo Lloris left when their skills began to decline.
Son Heung-min, who was born in 1992 and is now 32 years old, was in the same situation. Given that Tottenham’s option to extend by one year is certain, it remains to be seen whether contract renewal talks for the remaining period will be discussed again.
