TBR Football understands that Tottenham Hotspur have informed Son Heung-min that he can leave the club this summer for the right offer.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to tour Asia, including Korea, this summer; therefore, a departure before they return on August 8 is unlikely, given that he’ll be a key attraction.
The Spurs legend recently turned 33, and his performances last term showed signs that his best years are now behind him, although he still managed 21 goal contributions.
Thomas Frank is expected to hand him a limited playing role in the squad with the likes of Mathys Tel, Richarlison, Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert competing for a spot at the left wing.
Exclusive: Son Heung-Min can leave Tottenham for the right price
Son Heung-min is available for sale at Tottenham with the North London club still looking to add to their attacking options, sources have told Graeme Bailey, chief correspondent at TBR Football.
As TBR Football exclusively revealed, Frank is confident Tottenham will sign Yoanne Wissa ahead of Newcastle United, who are keen on the Brentford attacker.
Son is open to staying at Tottenham, and the club will respect his decision, but if they receive a good offer and the winger gives the green light, a transfer is more than likely.
Bailey told TBR Football: “He’s aware that he can leave if there’s a suitable offer. He’s not a cornerstone of what Tottenham are planning going forward. We know Tottenham have brought in Kudus, and they still want to sign Wissa.
“I don’t think Tottenham would have any issues if he stayed, but don’t be massively surprised if he moves on by the end of the window.
“He’s definitely available to go, and there are a few options out there for him. But he’s not a key part of Tottenham’s plans going forward.”
Mohammed Kudus’ arrival at Tottenham further limits Son’s chances of playing as the Ghanaian international can play across the front line.
At this stage, Tel is likely to be Spurs’ first choice left winger after they made his move from Bayern Munich permanent for £30m.
Thomas Frank set to provide clarity over Son Heung-min’s Tottenham future
Frank is set to issue clarity over Son’s future in North London on Friday afternoon as the Danish head coach gives his first press conference at Hotspur Way.
Spurs are due to play their first pre-season friendly on Saturday as they travel away to the Madejski Stadium to face Reading.
The 51-year-old is set to discuss his plans for several players, but one of the key talking points is likely to be the South Korean’s future.
Cristian Romero’s future also remains unclear, with Atletico Madrid having been targeting a move for the defender.
