Tottenham Hotspur have a number of issues at the moment.
Internally, Tottenham believe consistency is a big issue in their squad right now, while others have claimed that Tottenham lack leaders.
Speaking on TalkSPORT, Harry Redknapp has been discussing Spurs’ leadership situation, and he’s touched on Heung-Min Son’s suitability in the role as captain.
Interestingly, Redknapp says that he wouldn’t have chosen Son as his captain.
Ange Postecoglou made Son captain at the start of last season, and fans have recently questioned Son in that role.
Redknapp doesn’t believe Son is suited to this leadership role, despite his ability and legacy as a player.
Harry Redknapp wouldn’t have made Heung-Min Son captain
Redknapp spoke about Son and his role as the captain of Tottenham.
The former Spurs boss says the £22m man shouldn’t be the skipper, pointing out Archie Gray as a potential alternative, despite his age.
“There’s nobody there who you’d say, no disrespect but Son is a good player, but I couldn’t see him as a captain,” Redknapp said.
“He plays out on the left wing, he wouldn’t be my choice as the captain. Who is there? I came back the other day and said they’d probably end up with Archie Gray, and he’s 18, it’s crazy.”
Tottenham’s other captain option
There does appear to be a real leadership vacuum at Tottenham right now, but there is a left-field captain option that Spurs may want to consider.
Indeed, Kevin Danso could be the next Tottenham captain.
Danso has only just arrived at Tottenham, but he already looks the part.
Danso is apparently already a real leader behind-the-scenes, and Danso is set to join Spurs’ leadership group before too long.
It’s clear that the defender isn’t afraid of stepping up into these roles, and while he’s not the most seasoned player in the squad, perhaps he’s just what Spurs need in this captaincy role.
It may not be something that Ange Postecoglou thinks about immediately, but if Son needs replacing as captain, then Danso should probably come into his thinking.
