Tottenham Hotspur are open to selling Son Heung-min this summer, despite his iconic status at the club, with several suitors emerging from Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer (MLS).
Tottenham Hotspur’s future plans for Son Heung-min are uncertain, with the club keeping their options open regarding the 33-year-old forward’s potential departure.
Thomas Frank, the club’s new manager, has not ruled out Son’s long-term role at Tottenham, but sources indicate that the club is willing to consider offers for the player.
Son is set to feature in Tottenham’s upcoming pre-season tour, which includes matches against Arsenal and Newcastle.
His inclusion is seen as crucial for commercial reasons, given his popularity in Asia and his importance to the club’s brand. However, behind the scenes, discussions have taken place, and Tottenham have intimated to Son that they would not stand in his way should a suitable offer come in.
Several suitors have emerged for Son, including three Saudi Arabian clubs – Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr, and Al-Qadsiah – who are reportedly willing to pay over £30 million to sign him.
Interest has also come from Major League Soccer, with LAFC linked earlier in the summer. Also, Son’s former manager Jose Mourinho is keen to take him to Fenerbahce.
Son has 12 months remaining on his current deal, and Tottenham are weighing up the opportunity to cash in while they still can.
The club has already moved decisively in the market, signing Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus, and are targeting further attacking options. Son is no longer viewed as central to Tottenham’s plans, and his future at the club is far from certain.
The potential sale of Son would mark the end of an era for a player who has given Tottenham many iconic moments. Despite his popularity and contributions to the club, Son’s departure could be imminent. Tottenham’s decision will ultimately depend on the offers they receive and their plans for the future.
