In a deeply emotional and touching scene, South Korean Heung-min Son concluded his distinguished journey in the Premier League after ten years in London with Tottenham, bringing with it many fond memories and numerous goals and assists.

The Lilywhites have shown a lot of love to the South Korean, but now they want to make up for his departure with the best possible option as the 2025-26 season approaches, which promises to be very competitive indeed.

Great hesitation... but no time for regret!

Press reports indicated that Tottenham's internal leadership was very reluctant to let go of the South Korean, and even new coach Thomas Frank was reluctant to part with the distinguished Asian striker. However, in the end, the decision was made, and there is no time for regret; rather, they need to act quickly.

Following Son's departure, press reports indicate that the London club is seriously considering acquiring the services of the distinguished Nigerian Ademo Lekman, the Atalanta Bergamo player, who is already looking for a new experience. His new experience may be a return to England again, this time to London and not to Everton.

With Heung-min Son's era ending, Tottenham have identified Atalanta's Ademola Lookman as a prime replacement target. The 28-year-old winger, who recently requested a transfer following tensions with his Italian club, brings proven Premier League experience that appeals to Spurs' recruitment team.

There is a huge competition among clubs to sign the Nigerian

The North London club's pursuit of Ademola Lookman has become complicated by Inter Milan's strong interest. The Nigerian winger's impressive Serie A record (39G/21A in 93 games) makes him equally attractive to Italian suitors.

Atalanta have set a firm €50-55 million price tag (£44-48m including bonuses), testing Tottenham's resolve as they seek a high-profile attacking reinforcement.
