This summer could prove to be one of the most important in Tottenham’s recent history, with the North Londoners potentially having to fight off Saudi Pro-League interest in Son Heung-min.
The South Korean ace has proven to be the ace in Spurs’ pack, and a vital component of the Ange Postecoglou era.
Son Heung-min has led from the front at Tottenham
Made captain by the Australian after Harry Kane departed for Bayern Munich, Son has led from the front and by example, with Football Insider noting that he already has 12 goals and six assists in 2023/24.
The outlet also note that ‘huge’ offers are expected for his services, with the Saudi Pro League clubs clearly stopping at nothing to get the players that they want.
Given that the soon-to-be 32-year-old is out of contract in 2025, cashing in on him now would make a lot of sense for Daniel Levy and the Tottenham board.
However, Football Insider sources have confirmed that the player is more than happy in North London and there’s a genuine belief that a contract extension will be agreed.
After seeing Kane leave last summer, the thought of losing Son too would surely send the White Hart Lane faithful into a tailspin.
As a senior member of the Spurs squad now, he is vital to its evolution over the coming seasons, and therefore any deal must take into account his importance.
