A look at the names in the frame to be handed the armband at Tottenham Hotspur should Son Heung-min depart this summer.

00:00And in terms of Spurs' captaincy moving forward,

00:04who do you feel will be sort of next in line to step into that role,

00:08a massive role?

00:09And we've obviously mentioned the sort of inexperienced side as well.

00:12Who do you think Thomas Frank is looking at to captain the side?

00:15Do you think Son sticks with it if he is here for the next few months or so?

00:20Or is it right to just start the new season,

00:22this fresh sort of era with a new captain and go from there,

00:25maybe ease the pressure on Son as well?

00:28Yeah, it'd be really interesting actually to see which way Thomas Frank goes with this

00:31because, as I say, we've got Son, we could easily carry on with Hummin Son.

00:37But with question marks around his future,

00:39similarly with Christian Romero and Guillermo Vicario as well,

00:44there's rumours and sort of question marks potentially over all of those players,

00:49which I think would probably open the door for the likes of James Madison.

00:53You know, he's definitely got the aura of a captain.

00:56He's been seeing a lot on his summer holidays, sporting retro Tottenham shirts as well,

01:00on his Instagram and various social media.

01:03So he's certainly giving the fans a lot of love in the summer.

01:07And, you know, I think it's a big season for Madison this year.

01:11If he's fit and by all accounts, it looks like he's going to be ready for the start of the season,

01:16which would be fantastic.

01:16You know, without the sort of defensive duties potentially that he had with Ange and sort of dropping deep all the time,

01:26in that 10 slot, he could do some real damage.

01:28I mean, his numbers were up there last year anyway, despite the fact he was in and out of the team.

01:33And when he did start, he rarely finished a game.

01:35So if he's fit and firing, you know, he'd be a really good candidate.

01:39As I say, he's a very, very good talker, great with the young players.

01:43And he is a bit of an inspirational leader and Spurs are certainly better when he's on the pitch rather than off it.

01:47So I see him as a key figure still, despite the fact I know he divides some of the fan base.

01:51So I think if, you know, the domino effect happens and Son Romero, Vicario, you know, question marks,

01:57then I would be giving the answer to James Madison probably for next season.
