Tottenham to accept Son Heung-min bid from Saudi Arabia – Exclusive
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min could be set for a summer move to the Saudi Pro League.
The South Korean international had a frustrating season by his usual standards, but still ended by lifting his first piece of competitive silverware.
This could see the 32-year-old end his stint in North London on a positive note, as an exit in the upcoming window could be on the cards.
A departure to Saudi Arabia could be on the table for Son, with the Lilywhites potentially set to accept an offer from the Middle East in the coming weeks.
Tottenham to accept Saudi Arabia bid for Son
After spending 10 years at Spurs, there has been no shortage of high points under various managers, even in difficult spells under Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
The wide forward’s relationship with Harry Kane was frightening, and it is fair to say that his form has dropped somewhat since the Englishman’s move to Bayern Munich.

As a result, a move in the summer could prove to make sense for all parties, especially if a sizable fee is to make its way to N17.
This would be highly likely if an offer for Son were to come in from the Saudi Pro League, where transfer budgets are some of the highest in world football.
As a result of this, former Brentford and Leicester City manager Martin Allen believes the Lilywhites could now cash in on the sale of the skipper before the new Premier League campaign.
“There’s no doubt about it, Son has been a fantastic player for Tottenham,” Allen told Tottenham News.
“He’s typified what you want in a player, and the supporters love him.
“I do feel that he’s now past his best, and if there’s to be an offer for him from a Saudi club, then maybe he’ll go, and Tottenham will cash in.
“He’s been a massive asset, and time will tell, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Spurs looked to move him on now.“
Son could be set for mega-money Tottenham exit
The Saudi Pro League have become famed with sizable transfer fees, matched by their wages, which are able to entice some of the best players in the world.
This has already seen Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo move to the Middle East, with Son potentially set to follow them out there in the summer.
If that is to be the case, Spurs and Daniel Levy are likely to bring in a huge fee at this stage of the ex-Bayer Leverkusen man’s career.
It is fair to say that this would be positive in N17, although it could prove to be a blow to lose the skipper ahead of the new campaign.
