With Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham still uncertain, the club could find themselves needing a new leader on the pitch in the next year or two. Here are five players who may be tasked with stepping into the captain’s armband.Tottenham captain Heung-min Son’s future is currently hanging in the balance, with reports stating that Spurs are set to sell Son this summer.Son, who scored 11 goals and assisted 12 in 46 appearances last season, has been described as legendary by Spurs fans who believe now is the right time for Heung-min Son to leave N17.Indeed, there is no disputing the Koreans’ loyalty to Spurs after a decade-long service, which has been rewarded with silverware following Tottenham’s Europa League win.While there is every chance that the 32-year-old leaves this summer, it has been stated that Spurs would only listen to significant offers for Son, who still has a year left on his current deal.Of course, should the club captain depart, there would need to be a few changes in the club’s leadership structure, with a new captain expected to replace Son. Here are our five picks…(Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram)Guglielmo Vicario is a leader at the back for TottenhamGuglielmo Vicario is sure to be one name tossed about as a potential captain should Heung-min Son leave N17 this summer.The Italian shot-stopper is a vocal presence and is often seen barking instructions at his defenders during matches, helping to maintain the high standards expected at the club.While the odd mistake is in him, the 28-year-old regularly displays mental strength and composure, refusing to let errors weigh on him, instead brushing them off and staying focused.The Italian has already captained Spurs on several occasions, with the first coming in Tottenham’s Europa League tie against Qarabag.Cristian Romero is the natural Son replacementCristian Romero is the natural replacement for Heung-min Son, with the Argentine already one of Tottenham’s vice-captains.The 27-year-old led the side in the Europa League final when both James Maddison and Heung-min Son were not in the starting line-up, with Maddison missing entirely through injury and Son coming on to wear the armband in the second half.With a wealth of international and club experience behind him, the Argentine centre-back is a strong candidate to be voted in as Son’s successor should the South Korean leave this summer.However, Tottenham could face a dilemma, as Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from Hotspur Way amidst interest from Atletico Madrid. Should he depart, Spurs would need to look elsewhere.James Maddison leads by example at TottenhamJames Maddison is another name firmly in the mix to replace Son as captain, with the midfielder sharing the vice-captaincy duties alongside Romero.The Englishman is not only vocal, as seen in Maddison’s spirited exchanges with pundits in defence of himself and Tottenham, but he also lets his football do the talking when it matters most.With 22 goal contributions across all competitions last season, the 28-year-old stepped up in key moments and would bring both personality and poise to the captaincy role should he assume the role of Tottenham captain.(Credit: Tottenham Hotspur)Dejan Kulusevski’s never-give-up attitude gives him a look-in as Tottenham captainAnother player who may be considered as a potential club captain and Heung-min Son replacement is Dejan Kulusevski, who stood out during the first half of last season for Tottenham.The midfielder has grown into an influential figure at the club thanks to his relentless energy and willingness to leave everything on the pitch whenever he dons the Lilywhite shirt.His level of commitment and performance led to calls from some Tottenham fans for Kulusevski to be given the armband. While that did not materialise, a leadership role is very much a possibility if Son leaves.Rodrigo Bentancur could be a surprise inclusionThere is plenty of speculation around Rodrigo Bentancur’s future, as Bentancur has yet to sign the new contract offered by Tottenham.It has since emerged that Bentancur is awaiting clarity on the club’s managerial situation before making his decision, with Ange Postecoglou’s future still shrouded in uncertainty.Bentancur has been a significant figure since arriving from Juventus, although he has endured a stop-start spell due to injuries and suspensions.Despite a dip in form, the 27-year-old played some of his best football towards the end of the campaign, particularly in the Europa League quarter-final clash, and even captained Spurs in an FA Cup match against Burnley in 2024.It has been reported that the Tottenham hierarchy sees Bentancur as a future Spurs captain and that they are willing to do everything to keep him at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Indeed, should Son depart, he could also take up a leadership role next season.READ MORE: Ben Jacobs provides an update on Mikey Moore’s future at Tottenham HotspurThe post Five Tottenham players who could replace Heung-min Son as next Spurs captain appeared first on Spurs Web.
