Superstar Heung-min Son’s commitments to the Asian Cup beginning in January will cause him to miss several weeks of action, which is a major blow for Tottenham Hotspur.

With 15 Premier League appearances this season, the South Korean forward has scored 10 goals, demonstrating his exceptional form.

The Asian Cup is slated to take place from January 12 to February 10, so Son’s absence puts Spurs in a vulnerable position.

Furthermore, South Korea, one of the favorites, is predicted to advance far in the competition, which could mean a protracted absence.

In January, Spurs have three games planned, including an FA Cup tie that, should they win, will lead to another match later in the month.

He will miss two games in February, against Brighton and Everton, but they will be hoping that Son is back for the encounter with the Seagulls.

He has become one of the team’s most important players, so Ange will suffer greatly from his absence.

Even though Richarlison scored a brace against Newcastle and appeared to be back to his best, Son’s absence could have a significant impact.

Spurs need to sign a striker immediately in January, and they are reportedly targeting a forward or a left winger.

Giovani Lo Celso, a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, has recently been linked to a move away from the team.

At the North London club, the 27-year-old first had difficulty getting regular playing time, but following James Maddison’s injury, he appears to have earned a spot in the starting lineup.

Although the Argentine international midfielder has shown promise recently, it is unclear if he will be able to maintain a regular starting position in the upcoming months.

According to a 90 Min report, Barcelona is eager to sign the midfield player following the injury to Spanish sensation Gavi. They think Lo Celso might be a good temporary substitute for the Spanish international.

It will be intriguing to observe whether Tottenham is prepared to sell the South American player come January. According to the report, Tottenham is holding out for the possibility of selling the player should the right offer come up.

Lo Celso, who has played his best football in La Liga with Real Betis and Villarreal, may find it appealing to return to Spain.

With James Maddison expected to return, the Argentine may find himself relegated to a lower position, so it might be best for him to leave Tottenham.

It will be interesting to watch how things work out in the end. Given their financial struggles, it is unclear if Barcelona will be able to make the 27-year-old midfielder a competitive offer.
