The 17 year long trophy drought of Tottenham Hotspur finally came to an end last season when they won the Europa League by defeating Manchester United in the final. They had a terrible campaign in the Premier League as they finished 17th, which is the worst in around 50 years.
But their Europa League win soothed, and the fans are finally happy with the season. This season of Spurs will be remembered as an example that a team can still qualify for Champions League football even when they finish 17th in the league. Spurs will be immortalized for this season.
Tottenham Hotspur eyeing Rodrygo as a replacement for Son
But with great happiness comes great sorrow in the form of the departure of their long time skipper Heung-Min Son. Recently, he announced that he will leave the Spurs in this transfer window after serving the club for a complete decade. The Korean International will always be remembered as one of the best names to play for the Spurs.
Rodrygo had also been a target of Liverpool previously
Replacing the Korean International would be a huge task for the defending Europa League champions, but a number of names have already been linked with them. Liverpool's Harvey Elliot remains a target for Spurs, and reports suggest Liverpool want a fee of around £40 million for the 22 year old English Winger.
Rodrygo is valued at £80 million by Real Madrid
But the name that has emerged to be the replacement for the Korean International is Rodrygo of Real Madrid Football Club. It is reported that the Spanish Giants are looking forward to offloading their Brazilian forward. But he is valued at £80 million by Real Madrid, so this is going to be quite challenging for the English side.
A number of other names are also linked with Spurs as the potential replacement for Son. Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea is also a potential target for them, who was previously scouted by Manchester United. But Rodrygo remains the prime target of Tottenham Hotspur to replace Son.
