Daniel Levy is once again feeling the wrath of Tottenham fans following the latest update on Son Heung-min’s future.
The South Korean international has amassed a total of 454 appearances since joining Spurs in 2015, scoring 173 goals and assisting another 101 goals during his time with the club.
However, the 32-year-old’s future has been thrown into uncertainty following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, with Football Insider understanding that Thomas Frank is likely to decide Son’s next actions.
Tottenham fans were extremely critical of Son’s performances last season, and despite notching 11 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, it was far from his best campaign for the Lilywhites.
Son Heung-min exit gathers pace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Saudi Arabia has emerged as a potential destination for the dynamic forward this summer, with the Saudi Pro League looking to heavily invest in the summer transfer market yet again.
The player has just 12 months left on his current deal in North London, and now, BBC Sport’s Sami Mokbel reports (17 June) that a decision over his future is likely to be delayed for now.

That is due to Spurs’ upcoming tour of South Korea playing a major role in the decision, with his absence possibly risking complications with tour organisers ahead of friendlies with Arsenal and Newcastle United.
Son had already agreed to various activities during the tour, which often produces a lot of profit for Levy and his club, with sources understanding that an offer way above his valuation would have to arrive for a bid to be accepted before the tour.
Tottenham supporters furious with Son Heung-min’s treatment
Supporters are clearly frustrated with Levy’s treatment of a club legend, having stayed loyal to the Lilywhites over the last decade, and even outlasting Harry Kane in North London.
Levy appears more inclined to use Son’s face to promote the tour than to do what is best for the player, who, while it was not his best season, led Spurs to the Europa League title last season.
One supporter labelled the owner as “genuinely shameless”, while another called the situation “ridiculous”. However, going by the comments, few fans are actually surprised by Levy’s actions.
