3 Tottenham stars are fighting for their futures under Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou prepares to reshape Tottenham Hotspur’s squad for the next season, with several players under scrutiny as the campaign nears its conclusion.
The upcoming transfer window presents a crucial period for clubs across Europe, including Spurs, who find themselves in the bottom half of the Premier League table after 26 matches.
Inconsistency has plagued the team throughout the season, with flashes of brilliance often followed by disappointing performances. Some players face uncertain futures, and these final games could be decisive in determining their place at the club.
Heung-min Son enters a critical phase in his Tottenham career, with only one year remaining on his contract. The 2024/25 season has been far from his best, as he struggles with consistency.
While age might play a role in his form, Mohamed Salah’s continued dominance proves that top players can maintain high standards beyond their peak years. Son’s statistics remain respectable, with 20 goal contributions in 35 appearances, yet his return of just six league goals raises concerns.

For a player of his caliber, the inability to deliver back-to-back strong performances remains a significant issue. With his contract expiring in June 2026, Son has an opportunity to shift the narrative. Leading Spurs to Europa League success could solidify his future in North London.
Stat | Heung-min Son | Mohamed Salah |
---|---|---|
Age | 32 | 32 |
Total Appearances | 23 | 27 |
Premier League | 6 goals, 9 assists | 25 goals, 16 assists |
European Competitions | Europa League: 6 apps, 3 goals | Champions League: 7 apps, 3 goals, 4 assists |
EFL Cup | 4 apps, 1 goal | 4 apps, 2 goals, 1 assist |
FA Cup | 2 apps, 1 assist | N/A |
Yves Bissouma’s season has been a mixed bag, with errors and inconsistency hampering his performances. Initially considered a key figure in midfield, he has lost his place to Lucas Bergvall, who has cemented his role in recent weeks.
With Bergvall’s rise and the potential for Tottenham to reinforce their midfield in the summer, Bissouma faces an uphill battle to secure his position. The Malian international must use the remaining fixtures to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup; otherwise, he could be deemed surplus to requirements.
Richarlison’s struggles this season have stemmed primarily from injuries rather than poor form. The Brazilian forward has missed a staggering 34 games due to fitness issues, a concerning statistic for a player in a squad competing on multiple fronts.
When available, Richarlison has displayed glimpses of his quality, but his recurring absences have significantly impacted his contribution to the team. Tottenham could consider selling him for around £40 million in the summer if a suitable offer emerges.
The final stretch of the campaign presents a chance for him to prove his worth, but if he fails to maintain fitness, his opportunities will remain limited, casting serious doubt over his future at the club.
