Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to drop their asking price for Heung-min Son by nearly half to ensure that the Spurs captain gets the move that he wants.

It has been widely reported over the last week that Son could leave Tottenham following their pre-season tour of South Korea.

It emerged a few days ago that Los Angeles FC have now submitted an official offer to Tottenham for Son, but it is not yet clear what the value of their bid is.

According to a new update, the Lilywhites are now ready to drop their asking price for the forward considerably if the player decides that he wants to join the MLS club.

Tottenham ready to slash Heung-min Son asking price after LAFC approach

GiveMeSport claim that Spurs valued Son at around £35m earlier this summer as they anticipated Saudi Pro League clubs to make a move.

However, they have now learned that their captain is not keen on making a move to the Middle East and would prefer a switch to the United States.

Spurs chiefs are aware that LAFC or other MLS clubs would not be able to pay big money for Son and are thus willing to accept £15m-£20m if the South Korean signals an intention to move to America.

Tottenham Hotspur want to part ways with the player on good terms, with the MLS thought to be emerging as the most likely destination for the 33-year-old this summer.

Son will make the final decision on his future

Last week, Thomas Frank admitted that Tottenham face a ‘tricky’ decision on Son’s future, given that he has given a decade of loyal service to the club.

It has been widely reported that Tottenham will allow Son to decide if he wants to stay or leave this summer, with the Lilywhites having no intention of pushing him out the door even though he has only one year left on his contract.

Tottenham supporters believe they have uncovered a significant clue in Thomas Frank’s search for a new club captain, following the emergence of a video involving Cristian Romero.

Thomas Frank is yet to make a final decision on who will wear the armband for Tottenham ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, with the new head coach recently revealing that he has compiled a long list of leadership qualities he values in a captain.

Heung-min Son has led Tottenham Hotspur for the past two seasons and firmly etched his name into club folklore by lifting the Europa League trophy as captain last term, adding a crowning moment to his Spurs legacy.

While Son remains a contender, the uncertainty surrounding his future has created an open race for the captaincy – one that appears to be intensifying as pre-season unfolds.

Tottenham fans spot captaincy hint in Cristian Romero video

In recent pre-season encounters, both Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son have been seen wearing the armband, as Thomas Frank continues to assess his leadership options on the pitch.

In the clash against Wycombe Wanderers, when both Romero and Son were on the pitch, the 33-year-old Korean star was handed the armband.

Now, a new video clip circulating on social media has shown Thomas Frank deep in conversation with Cristian Romero, sparking intrigue among supporters who believe the footage offers insight into the manager’s thinking.

Many Tottenham fans are convinced that the Argentine defender is being groomed for the captaincy, interpreting the exchange between coach and player as a telling moment in the selection process.

One supporter wrote: “Tottenham fans think they have spotted clue to Thomas Frank’s new captain.” Another said: “Frank soooo choosing him as captain!!”

A third added: “Even if Son stays, which I do not think he will, Cuti is getting that armband.” Another fan commented: “Refreshing to see a Spurs account not try to spin this as a negative story. Captain and his coach talking for sure.” A final fan added: “Looks that way 🙏”

Heung-min Son uncertainty gives Cristian Romero the edge

Heung-min Son may be heading for the exit door at Tottenham, with speculation over the forward’s future continuing to gather momentum by the day.

Reports have linked Son with a move to Major League Soccer, where Los Angeles FC are reportedly pushing hard to secure his services this summer.

Thomas Frank has now revealed why Dominic Solanke did not feature in Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against Luton Town on Saturday, as Spurs announce bad news on Destiny Udogie.

Both Udogie and Solanke were not part of the Spurs team which took to the field at Hotspur Way against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday morning.

The striker and the left-back were expected to play against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, but neither played any part in the 0-0 draw against the Championship side.

Instead, it was Mathys Tel who was leading the line against the Hatters while Jamie Donley was a late surprise inclusion at left-back.

Thomas Frank provides good news on Dominic Solanke

Some Spurs fans may have feared the worst about the pair’s absence, but Frank has now assuaged their concerns by revealing that both players were left out as a precaution.

The Dane insisted that there was nothing to be worried about with the striker or the left-back ahead of Tottenham’s pre-season tour to Asia.

When asked why Solanke was not involved against Luton, Frank said (via Football.London): “Dom has a minor ankle issue, nothing we’re worried about, just a precaution for today.”

Unfortunately, Udogie will miss Tottenham’s pre-season tour of Asia after feeling a muscular issue in the warm-up for the Luton Town match.

Spurs now head out on tour without a recognised left-back, beyond Ben Davies who has played more as a centre-back in recent years, and the right-footed Djed Spence.

Why Rodrigo Bentancur did not feature in either of Tottenham’s friendlies

Even though Rodrigo Bentancur was named in the starting line-up for the clash against Wycombe, the midfielder did not take to the pitch.

It was academy midfielder George Abbott who took to the field instead of Uruguayan, whose name was removed from the starting eleven just 30 minutes before kick-off.

Tottenham’s pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White looked to be moving in the right direction, but in the end, the club have been left red-faced. Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has now had his say, and his comments will not sit well in north London.

It is back to the drawing board for Tottenham Hotspur, who would have been hoping to have at least added one more new signing before jetting off for their pre-season tour of Asia.

It looked as though those plans were very much in motion, after reports emerged stating that Tottenham had activated Morgan Gibbs-White’s release clause and even had a medical booked 24 hours later.

A constant back-and-forth, which included Forest taking legal action against Tottenham, has been the theme of recent reports in the last two weeks, until it emerged yesterday that Morgan Gibbs-White had chosen to extend his stay at the City Ground, signing a three-year deal.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis aims dig at Tottenham over Morgan Gibbs-White

Forest owner Marinakis, who has been at the thick of the action, has now aimed a dig at Spurs after their failed attempts to lure Gibbs-White away from his club.

The Forest owner made it clear that as long as he is in charge of the club, every approach must take place in an appropriate manner.

He said (TalkSPORT): “As long as I am in charge of all of these actions, approaches should take place, I repeat, in an appropriate manner.

“I would never let anyone from any other team get a player from us or make something we do not agree with.

“And especially, as I said, with some guys that they belong to our family. Therefore, with Morgan, it did not take long to come to an agreement. It was a very short conversation, full of passion and love for the club.

“So when you have passion, when you have love for something, it is a matter of a few seconds to agree. And all our supporters should know that this guy loves the club.”

Spurs fans react as Gibbs-White snubbed N17 move

Tottenham fans do not appear to be losing sleep over the loss, as several fans have been quick to name ten alternatives they want Spurs to turn their attention to, following the latest Gibbs-White twist

Of course, it had long been reported by several outlets that Morgan Gibbs-White was keen on a move to Tottenham, which served as a boost in Tottenham’s pursuit of the Englishman.

Thomas Frank liked what he saw from his side in one of their two friendlies on Saturday, but he admitted that their performance in the other game showed that Tottenham still have a lot of work to do.

In a rather unusual move, Tottenham played two pre-season friendlies on Saturday, first playing out a 2-2 draw against Wycombe at Hotspur Way before another team made the trip to Luton Town to play out a goalless draw.

Thomas Frank had explained that the idea was to get enough minutes into the legs of the whole squad, and he got what he wanted, with two evenly matched Spurs teams taking to the field in both matches.

However, the Dane has confessed that he saw a lot more positives in one game compared to the other.

Thomas Frank was delighted with Tottenham’s performance against Wycombe

The Spurs head coach revealed that he and his coaching staff took many positives from the earlier of the two friendlies, stating that he was pleased with his side’s pressing and ability to turn over possession.

He was also pleased with the threat that Tottenham Hotspur posed in attack against Wycombe and by how his defenders coped with the League One side’s runs in-behind.

When asked what he took from the 2-2 draw against Wycombe, Frank told Football.London: “With the Wycombe game, positives, I felt the high pressure and regaining of the ball was very successful in many ways throughout the game. We regained it, I don’t know how many times, but we created six, seven very dangerous situations where we should have done even more and scored a good second goal through Pape.

“Also, in the first minutes, Wycombe’s runs in behind were good, so we were really focused on that. The big focus is that we defend well, and we gave away two goals we shouldn’t have given away against Wycombe, scored two good goals from Pape, who is another positive in that game.”

Frank admits Spurs made mistakes against Luton Town

However, the 51-year-old confessed that he was not overly pleased with some aspects of Tottenham’s performance at Kenilworth Road.

While he was happy with the effort of his players, the new Spurs boss admitted that his team looked disjointed against the Championship outfit.

Frank added: “The Luton game, that was the game where I felt, ‘okay, there is a bit to be worked on’. That was two mixed teams, a little out of sync.

“The boys put everything into it, they were positive, heads down working hard, but those connections and relationships, they definitely weren’t fluent, but it’s good to have something to work on.”

Tottenham Hotspur have had a change of heart regarding their young starlet and have reluctantly agreed to send him out on loan for the upcoming season.

Spurs fans will not be surprised at the level of interest that Mikey Moore is now generating, with the 17-year-old seen by many across English and European football as a generational talent.

It has been widely claimed that Moore is expected to sign a new contract at Tottenham when he turns 18 next month, but it turns out that the youngster is keen to go out on loan to get regular football next season.

This was the information provided a couple of days ago by Alasdair Gold, who explained that Thomas Frank now faces a big decision on Moore’s future, and it now appears that the Dane has made up his mind.

Tottenham ready to loan out Mikey Moore

According to Football Insider, Tottenham have now reluctantly agreed to loan out the young attacking midfielder so that he can continue developing.

Spurs had initially wanted to keep Moore at the club, but the teenager expressed a desire to go out on loan so that he could play regular football, with the aim of competing for a starting role at N17 on his return.

While Thomas Frank wanted to keep the Tottenham Hotspur academy graduate as a part of his squad, he has now had a change of heart.

The Lilywhites are now expected to grant the 17-year-old permission to leave in search of game time as several clubs queue up to land him. This has now been confirmed by the club, with Moore left out of the pre-season tour squad in order to explore a loan move away.

Two Championship clubs and other European sides are keen on Moore

Football Insider say that the Tottenham man is now attracting strong interest from Birmingham City and West Brom, with both clubs keen on securing his services on loan.

The Baggies are now managed by former Spurs midfielder and assistant coach, Ryan Mason, who knows Moore well from his time at Hotspur Way.

Apart from the Championship duo, leading Eredivisie sides have also expressed interest in taking the Spurs teenager to the Dutch top flight for the upcoming season.

The Tottenham Hotspur players and backroom staff have boarded their flight to Hong Kong to continue their pre-season preparations.

The North Londoners played two friendlies on Sunday, firstly Tottenham drew 2-2 with Wycombe Wanderers at Hotspur Way and were later held to a 0-0 draw at Luton Town.

Tottenham will next face North London rivals Arsenal on July 31st at the recently opened 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong and it represents the first time the two Premier League sides have faced each other overseas.

Spurs will later travel to South Korea to take on Newcastle United at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3rd.

Which Tottenham players have made the trip

Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie both did not feature on Sunday due to injury precautions, while Rodrigo Bentancur missed the Wycombe match due to illness as a late withdrawl.

The following players within the Tottenham first-team squad have made the trip to Hong Kong.

Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin have not made the trip and will continue their rehabilitation from their respective knee injuries. Destiny Udogie, Kota Takai, Bryan Gil and Manor Solomon will also remain at Hotspur Way for treatment.

Tottenham need to step up their transfer activity

The match at Luton Town once again highlighted the need to sign a new number ten who can influence matters in the final third of the pitch.

It is a huge frustration once again that Tottenham have not been able to get enough signings over the line to allow any new arrivals plenty of time to settle in with their new team-mates.

Morgan Gibbs-White will not be joining Tottenham after he signed a new contract to remain at Nottingham Forest.

We have seen the likes of Liverpool move quick to get their summer business done early and now we appear to be back to the drawing board when it comes to signing a number ten with Eberechi Eze also said to be closing in on a move to Arsenal.

The squad depth was simply not there last season, and we’re about to head into a campaign which will see us in the Champions League. If Levy is expecting Thomas Frank to compete in both the Premier League and in Europe, without some experienced players, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Tottenham supporters have been left stunned by just how physically imposing Luka Vuskovic is, even compared to vice-captain Cristian Romero.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have already had a glimpse of their new centre-back Luka Vuskovic, who linked up with the rest of the Spurs squad this summer window.

Vuskovic featured for Tottenham during pre-season, playing forty-five minutes in the clash against Reading, where he impressed in all facets of the game.

The towering centre-back helped his team keep a clean sheet and also chipped in with a goal and an assist in his brief but eye-catching cameo.

Spurs signed Vuskovic from Hadjuk Split two seasons ago for 12m, when he was 16, and with the centre-back now 18, he is finally eligible to play for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham fans have been pleased with their new signing and will be hoping to see more of him during the remainder of pre-season.

Still, the Croatian centre-back continues to grab attention for his sheer size, with many Tottenham supporters in awe of just how tall the 18-year-old is.

Taking to X, one Tottenham fan said: “This kid Vuskovic is an absolute tank… Unit!!”

Another supporter asked: “How big is Luka? He is built like a rugby player. Imagine a back three of him, Romero and Van de Ven. Brick wall!”

A third was quick to compare the youngster to a rival club’s centre-back: “Honestly, seeing him live at Reading, he absolutely towers over everyone on corners. He is going to be a menace like Gabriel is for them down the road.”

“He is massive, what a presence. So physically imposing, he is bold and will grow to be one of the leaders in the group, you can already tell,” claimed another.

Another stated: “Luka’s height for an 18-year-old is crazy, what are they feeding him.”

One fan added: “Luka is an absolute unit.”

A final chimed in: “Vuskovic is an absolute beast.”

Luka Vuskovic aerial ability and potential loan to Hamburg

Vuskovic does have something unique that other Tottenham defenders do not possess, and that is his aerial ability and goal-scoring instinct.

Despite being a centre-back, the Croatian managed to score seven goals while out on loan at Westerlo, and he was also quick to remind Spurs of his threat in the box during the pre-season fixture against Reading.

Thomas Frank is now facing a big decision on the future of Luka Vuskovic, with a number of clubs now showing an interest in signing the Tottenham 18-year-old on loan.

Some sources have said over recent days that Thomas Frank may decide against signing another centre-back on the back of Vuskovic’s showing in pre-season.

Spurs fans are certainly excited about the 18-year-old and are hoping that he can have a similar impact to what Lucas Bergvall did last season.

It has been reported over recent weeks that a host of clubs around Europe want to take Vuskovic on loan, but an increasing number of sources are now backing Vuskovic to be promoted to the Spurs first-team.

Thomas Frank is contemplating Luka Vuskovic’s future

The Daily Mail have now said that the new Spurs head coach has a ‘big decision brewing’ on the Croat’s future over the coming weeks.

It is revealed that several Bundesliga clubs are now clamouring to sign the teenager on loan for the upcoming season and are waiting for a decision from Tottenham Hotspur.

The report states that while Frank has been impressed by Vuskovic, it is pointed out that the youngster is behind a cluster of more senior centre-backs in the pecking order.

Amidst the growing interest in his service, Frank now has to decide what is best for Vuskovic’s progress and ensure that it does not stall.

The outlet says that the Dane and his coaching staff may prefer the idea of blooding him in English football rather than loaning him out to a German club.

Luka Vuskovic is battling Kota Takai for a place in Tottenham’s first-team

It was explained by Alasdair Gold a couple of days ago that one of Vuksovic or Kota Taka will be loaned out by Spurs this summer.

The journalist suggested that, as things stand, the Japanese centre-back is expected to stay at Hotspur Way while the Hajduk Split academy graduate looks likely to leave on loan.

However, if Vuskovic continues impressing in pre-season, one would not be surprised if Frank decides to keep him over Takai.

One of the best creative players Tottenham Hotspur have had across their Premier League history has been the subject of a shock approach from Wrexham.

Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side may not have got over the line and won silverware, but they are fondly remembered by Tottenham fans for the kind of energetic and entertaining football that they produced on a regular basis.

One of the men who made that Tottenham Hotspur side tick was Christian Eriksen, who followed in Spurs’ rich history of creative and dazzling number tens, who got fans off their seats.

Eriksen holds the third most assists for the Lilywhites in Premier League history with 62 to his name, with the Dane finishing with overall stats of 88 goals and 69 assists in 305 appearances across all competitions for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham icon Christian Eriksen is a shock target for Wrexham

The Daily Mail have now revealed that the former Tottenham man, who departed Man United in the summer when his contract ran out, has emerged as a shock target for Wrexham.

The Welsh side are showing ambition after winning promotion to the Championship, and it has been confirmed by Eriksen’s agent that they made a lucrative offer to the 33-year-old.

However, while the Denmark international was impressed by the club’s offer, he turned down the proposal as he intends to continue his career in one of the top European leagues.
