Tottenham told to sign Man City star as Son Heung-min replacement

Tottenham Hotspur may soon have a major decision on their hands — and it’s not just about tactics or transfers.

Club captain and legend Son Heung-min is heading into the final year of his contract. At 33, questions about his future are growing louder, and so are the whispers of his possible replacement.

One name has already been thrown into the ring: Jack Grealish. And not by just anyone.

Club icon Robbie Keane has made it clear where he stands. Speaking to Betway, the former Spurs striker said, “I love Jack. I think he’s a wonderful football player and a real Tottenham player with the way he plays and moves on the pitch. I really think that he could fit into the Tottenham team.”

While Manchester City appear ready to part ways with Grealish this summer, Tottenham might just be the perfect next stop for the stylish winger.

With new manager Thomas Frank now in charge, the North London side is expected to reshape its attack — and Grealish could be the headline act of this rebuild.

Why Grealish makes sense for Tottenham?

Let’s face it, replacing a player like Son isn’t just about finding goals and assists. It’s about flair, attitude, and a little chaos in the final third.

Grealish checks many of those boxes. He might not have lived up to the massive expectations at City, but in the right system, he could shine again — and Keane believes Spurs is that place.

Grealish also offers something Frank loves: versatility. Whether it’s out wide, as a No. 10, or in a more central role, his ability to adapt could help smooth Spurs’ transition into a new era.

And with Son’s form dipping last season, it’s not just a sentimental decision — it’s a strategic one.

Of course, Grealish isn’t a guaranteed fix. He comes with baggage, a big price tag, and the question of whether he’s ready to lead rather than follow.

But if Spurs are looking to replace star power with star potential, Grealish might be the man for the job.

After all, one club legend's farewell could be another's grand entrance. Football rarely stops for sentiment — and neither do Spurs.
