Which match could mark Son Heung-min’s return as he looks to reunite with Tottenham?

Son Heung-min remains a cherished figure among Tottenham supporters, even after his recent exit from the club.

The South Korean star ended his near-decade stay in North London to join former Spurs teammate Hugo Lloris at MLS side LAFC. Though he handed the captain’s armband to Cristian Romero, Son will always be remembered as the skipper who ended Tottenham’s 17-year wait for a major trophy.

Following his impressive start in Los Angeles, many Spurs fans have been longing for his return to Hotspur Way.

Possible Return Against Slavia Praha
Son’s farewell appearance came in a friendly, where he received a standing ovation after being substituted late in the second half. At the time, supporters were disappointed that his final match took place in South Korea rather than at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — a sentiment Son reportedly shares. With that in mind, there is speculation that the former captain could feature for Spurs in their UEFA Champions League clash against Slavia Praha on December 9 — a reunion that would thrill fans.

Thomas Frank’s Search for a Left-Wing Successor
Since Son’s departure, Tottenham have struggled to replace his presence on the left flank. Brennan Johnson began the season in that role under new manager Thomas Frank, but Wilson Odobert has since taken over.

Odobert has logged 317 Premier League minutes, while Johnson has played 362, yet neither has truly impressed. This has led fans to suggest that Mathys Tel, currently used as a centre-forward, could be tested on the left side — especially with Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani earning regular starts up front.

For now, however, Tottenham have yet to find anyone capable of replicating Son’s impact on the left wing — and it may be some time before they do.
