Son Heung-min is the second-longest-serving player at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having been in North London for almost a decade.

However, Son is set to meet with new Spurs boss Thomas Frank to discuss his future at the Premier League club, with an exit on the cards.

The South Korean could leave the Lilywhites this summer as he only has a year left on his current deal.

Now, there has been news of a potential contract for the forward worth a staggering amount of money.

Frank has not even begun work at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but he already faces a crucial decision.

The future of Son is in doubt after an underwhelming campaign, with his numbers down from previous seasons.

Son has had previous interest from Saudi Arabia, and there is reportedly current interest from that part of the world.

Given that the South Korean international only has a year left on his current deal, now would be the ideal time to generate a fee.

Indeed, Saudi dealmakers are prepared to offer Son a serious salary if he decides to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

They will reportedly offer Son almost £500,000 per week and view his potential arrival as important, according to talkSPORT.

It is also believed that if he moves to Saudi Arabia, then a lucrative TV rights deal with a South Korean broadcaster will follow this summer.

Now is the right time for Tottenham to sell Son

At 32, Son still has something to offer Spurs, but if they are to sell him, then now would be the right time.

The forward has been a consistent performer in North London, but he did show signs of decline last season.

Daviel Levy will be well aware of this and will know that a potential £40million or more can be put back into the transfer kitty.

Of course, if Son stays, then he still has something to offer, but the decision ultimately rests with him.
