Heung-min Son could be about to call time on his Tottenham career, with the club captain now more open to leaving than he has ever been before.
Several changes have been going on behind the scenes at Tottenham Hotspur this summer, including the departure of Donna-Maria Cullen, the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, the exit of Ryan Mason, and the dismissal of Scott Munn.
A few days ago, it emerged that club captain Heung-min Son could also be on the move this summer, with strong interest from Saudi Arabia making headlines once again.
The Korean international is without question a modern-day Tottenham legend, having stayed loyal to the club for over a decade in pursuit of silverware – a quest that finally bore fruit last season when Spurs edged Manchester United 1-0 to lift the Europa League trophy.
Heung-min Son could leave Tottenham this summer
Now aged 32, reports suggest that although Tottenham are not actively pushing Heung-min Son out of the door, they would be open to letting the Korean forward leave if a suitable offer arrives.
The general feeling within the club is that Son may well be on his way out, with sources indicating that this is the impression the forward has left among his teammates.
Now, fresh reports from football.london states that one of the first items on Thomas Frank’s to-do list once his move to Tottenham is confirmed will be to hold direct talks with Son regarding his future at the club.
MORE SPURS STORIES
However, the publication also claims that Heung-min Son is now more receptive to a move away from Tottenham than he has ever been before.
Spurs must weigh Son’s value carefully ahead of possible exit
Son will turn 33 in the coming months, and with that in mind, it is hardly surprising that the club may be considering cashing in rather than risking losing him for free, especially after Son’s contract extension back in January.
Tottenham are back in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2022/23 campaign, and given how youthful the squad is, Son’s presence and experience could prove vital if they are to stand any chance of staying competitive in Europe.
However, Son has not dismissed the idea of a potential exit either. When asked about his future during the recent international break, He said: “I still have one more year left on the contract.
“Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens. But no matter where I end up, I will always do the best I can. It will never change.”
