Son Heung-min has been an unbelievable servant for Tottenham Hotspur.
The 32-year-old was signed in 2015 when Mauricio Pochettino was in charge and is now entering his tenth year at the club.
From Son producing a record-breaking partnership with Harry Kane to working under five different permanent managers, he has been on some journey and is still going.
But the discussion started about Tottenham possibly needing to replace Son because of his age and the suggestion that he is past his peak.
First of all, Son was made captain last summer when Hugo Lloris departed, so he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Ange Postecoglou’s all-action style requires a certain type of player for his system, with speed and the want to press high up.
Tottenham fan Abi Summers suggested her team signs Eberechi Eze and then you will ’see the difference’ in quality.
Eze watched Michael Olise join Bayern Munich in the summer and many felt that the London club would go on to lose his partner in crime.
Tottenham were keen on Eze, but nothing materialised and he is now hoping to take his game to higher levels under Oliver Glasner.
But Jamie O’Hara wasn’t so sure, nor keen on his former club possibly bringing Eze to the other side of London, as he told talkSPORT.
Eberechi Eze tipped to replace Son Heung-min at Tottenham
“Without a doubt (we have to look for a Son replacement), that’s why I said earlier about Eze, someone like that comes in and then you are seeing the difference in the two players,” said Summers.
“That’s not saying Son hasn’t been an unbelievable servant, but that’s just calling it for what it is where someone is at in their career.”
O’Hara responded: “I am not sure about Eze, you know. No, (I don’t think he will make Spurs better). I think he’s a drifter.”
Eberechi Eze would thrive under Ange Postecoglou
James Maddison is tasked with bringing the X-Factor for Spurs, but his performances have been mixed, even though he produced a Man of the Match display against Brentford at the weekend.
A player like Eze would provide that and even challenge Maddison for a starting birth, which is what he probably needs.

Added to that, Postecoglou needs depth in quality, especially with the team in Europe this term and that playmaker role is one that’s lacking.
That is another reason to bring a player of Eze’s quality to Hotspur Way because he would help take the team to higher levels.
