Tottenham Hotspur could see their captain Son Heung-min leave this summer as the club look to raise funds for transfers and rebuild their squad ahead of a return to the Champions League next season. Son, who won the Europa League last month in Bilbao, has one year left on his contract after the club activated an option to extend it until 2025. However, interest from clubs in the Saudi Professional League has long been high, due to his global fame and huge popularity in Asia and Europe.
If Spurs manage to sell him, they will make a significant profit. Son has been one of the club's most important players over the past two decades, and was named captain in August 2023 after Harry Kane departed. In the Europa League final, he came on as a substitute due to a foot injury, and played the second half when Richarlison took his place in the line-up.
For many fans, Son is Spurs' best signing of the modern era. He arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has become one of the biggest names in the Premier League and the South Korean national team. In the final game of the season at home to Brighton, which ended 4-1, he was not part of the squad due to injury.
Son is currently with South Korea for their final World Cup qualifiers against Iraq and Kuwait, where a point is enough to secure their place in the tournament. However, he is expected to play a limited role until he is fully recovered.
Meanwhile, the future of manager Ange Postecoglou is in doubt, as he has yet to receive confirmation from Daniel Levy that he will continue in charge of Spurs next season. Postecoglou is currently on holiday in Europe and the club are expected to make a decision this week.
