TA: Son Heung-min is gradually getting away from his peak, but Frank is difficult to withdraw his starting lineup & Tottenham can cash out Romero

According to The Athletic, for the new coach Frank, how to treat the chief and deputy captains Son Heung-min and Romero at the competitive level has become a difficult problem for him. The report said that Son Heung-min performed poorly last season and maybe it is time to accept that he is no longer at his peak. Still, the 33-year-old's position at Tottenham means that even if he is no longer the best in the team, and perhaps even the second-strongest left winger, it will be difficult for Frank to remove him from the starting lineup.

If Son Heung-min left this summer after playing for Tottenham for ten years, it would be sentimental, but he would leave with highlights as he helped the team win the Europa League in May, ending the club's 17-year trophy drought.

Romero's situation is slightly more complicated: He performed well when the centre-back was fully focused, but he made some compelling mistakes last season and his attendance was not satisfactory - whether it was due to injury or suspension. Given Atletico’s interest in him, it might be worth it to sell the 27-year-old to cash out and sign a high-quality replacement.

However, the report also pointed out that if the two players are lost in the same transfer window, it will put Frank in serious leadership vacancy after taking over Postkoglu.
