Three different Saudi Pro League clubs have expressed interest in Heung-min Son, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who has now revealed how much these clubs are willing to pay Tottenham for their captain’s services.

Son has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with reports indicating that the Lilywhites may cash in on the 32-year-old if a big-money offer arrives from the Middle East.

However, it was reported by Football Asian a few days ago that Son is more likely to consider a move to Saudi Arabia next summer, and would ideally like to remain at Tottenham for one more season.

According to some sources, Son is prepared to play for Thomas Frank if the Dane wants to keep him at the club, with the outcome of the meeting between the pair expected to determine the forward’s future.
