Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-Min Son is likely to be approached about a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, according to talkSPORT.

The Lilywhites have secured Champions League football for next season after winning the Europa League final 1-0 against Manchester United, despite finishing the Premier League in 17th place after a remarkably poor campaign.

But now captain Son faces a major decision over his future with big-spending Saudi clubs looking at attracting him to the Middle East.

Saudi Clubs Eyeing Son Move

Son prefers to stay in London

The Saudi Pro League are looking to add a new array of talent to their ranks this summer and are keen to bring in new superstars with Victor Osimhen, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah all targeted for moves.

But after Salah opted to stay at Liverpool instead after winning the Premier League, Son has now emerged as a target for the club following his most recent success.

Son, dubbed "world-class" by Ange Postecoglou, is regarded as one of Spurs' best players in the modern era and finally lifted his first trophy last week despite not starting in the final, having recently recovered from a foot injury.

But after failing with a big-money bid for Brighton star Kaoru Mitoma in January, the club are now eyeing Son as their Asian superstar for the league with a new international TV deal set to kick in this season.

However, talkSPORT report that Son would have to have a change of heart about his stance on a move to Saudi as he would currently prefer to stay in London for another year at least.

Son, who will turn 33 this summer, saw his contract with Spurs extended by a further 12 months earlier this season. There are question marks about the futures of Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel who all play in attack, and that could also be a factor in Son's future at the club.
