What Tottenham have told Heung-min Son about potential summer bids, ‘He is aware’
Heung-min Son featured for Tottenham in Thomas Frank’s first pre-season friendly against Reading, but the future of the Spurs captain remains unclear as the Premier League season approaches.
Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has been well reported on this summer as the Korean winger enters the final year of his current contract.
Son’s contract expires next summer, and he could leave on a free transfer if he is not sold this transfer window or if Tottenham do not extend his contract further.
The Korean winger managed 11 goals and 11 assists last term in all competitions, one of his lowest returns since his first season at Tottenham.
Son, however, ended his long wait for silverware with Tottenham, after the north London club lifted the Europa League trophy in Bilbao, Spain, cementing his legacy as a club legend.
Tottenham open to selling Heung-min Son if right offer arrives
While reports have claimed that Son could be sold by Spurs this summer, it is also understood that the Tottenham captain is keen on remaining in north London for at least one more season, before heading out the exit door.
TBR Football have now revealed Tottenham’s stance regarding Son’s future. It is understood that Spurs are open to selling the Korean winger if suitable offers come this summer.
It is also claimed that the Korean is not seen as a player who is central to what Thomas Frank is trying to build in north London.
Chief Correspondent Graeme Bailey said: “He is aware that he can leave if there is a suitable offer. He is not a cornerstone of what Tottenham are planning going forward. We know Tottenham have brought in Kudus, and they still want to sign Wissa.
“I do not think Tottenham would have any issues if he stayed, but do not be massively surprised if he moves on by the end of the window.
“He is definitely available to go, and there are a few options out there for him. But he is not a key part of Tottenham’s plans going forward.”
Spurs could reduce Son’s minutes next season if he stays
If Son is to remain in north London this summer, he could very well see his minutes reduced, as Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel could be handed more gametime.
The Korean winger is a legend of Spurs, but even Tottenham fans are not against the club parting ways with Son this summer window.
Son would forever be regarded as one of Tottenham’s greatest players, but at times, clubs have to be ruthless when taking such decisions.
