Son Heung-min has refused to rule out the prospect of leaving Tottenham this summer.

The 32-year-old has just finished his tenth season at Spurs and captained the team to their first trophy in 17 years as they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final.

In January, Spurs exercised the option to extend Son’s contract for another year which keeps him tied to the club until the summer of 2026.

However, Son has attracted major interest from the Saudi Pro League and it has been reported that Spurs would entertain a lucrative offer for the South Korea captain.

Speaking after South Korea’s 4-0 win against Kuwait on Tuesday which secured their place at the 2026 World Cup, Son cast doubt over his future at Tottenham.

When asked if he will stay at Spurs for another season, Son replied: ‘For now, I think it’s right to wait rather than say anything here since my contract remains.

‘Many people, including reporters and fans, are very curious. Rather than thinking about the future, I think it’s better to wait and see what happens in my current position.

‘No matter where I am, I’m still a player who has always done my best and worked hard, so I think I should do well.’

Son, who was hampered by a foot injury towards the end of the campaign, was also asked about Spurs’ season and finally ending the club’s trophy drought.

‘I think I’ve accomplished everything I’ve done while playing the football I wanted to,’ Son said.

‘Football is about winning and only winners are remembered. Despite the difficult season, it was a really happy season for me because I experienced the trophy that I’ve been chasing since I was young.

‘It was a year where I wanted to do better. I was so happy to be able to share that moment with so many people who cheered me on.

‘I haven’t been in good condition many times, but I think I’ll be able to prepare for the new season in really good condition.’
