TBR Football understands that Thomas Frank has confirmed that he is willing to let Son Heung-min leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Son and Frank are due to meet in the coming weeks to discuss the captain’s future at the North London club, as TBR Football revealed earlier this month.
However, the new Danish head coach has decided that he is ready to part ways with the 32-year-old should he also be open to moving elsewhere.
Son Heung-min accepts his time at Tottenham is drawing to a close
TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that it is looking increasingly likely that Son Heung-min is leaving.
The Tottenham Hotspur legend is accepting his fate, and as mentioned, it is understood that Frank has already confirmed that he is willing to let him go.
Son, who Spurs signed for £22m in 2015, is ‘welcome’ to remain at Spurs should he wish, however, it is most likely that he will spend a fair amount of time on the bench.
The South Korean international could leave on the most incredible note, having just become the first Spurs captain since Ledley King in 2008 to lift a major trophy.
The Lilywhites have already started looking for replacements and have already made their deal for Mathys Tel permanent for £30m.
Tottenham hold an interest in Antoine Semenyo, however, his price tag of over £60 million is putting them off from doing a deal. Meanwhile, Eberchi Eze and Bryan Mbeumo remain targets.
What Thomas Frank has said previously about Son Heung-min
Frank has previously been very complimentary of Son having dubbed him as ‘fantastic’ when speaking about Spurs’ attack.
In the aftermath of Ange Postecoglou’s first Premier League game in charge of Tottenham, Frank spoke very highly of Son, Richarlison, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski.
Speaking back in August 2023, Frank told the media: “It’s a good team we’re playing against with some fantastic players in it, I think we all agree Richarlison, Maddison, Son and Kulusevski is a very, very strong forward line.”
However, that was two years ago now and following a season in which Son showed that his sharpness is no longer there.
