Son front and centre as ‘Newcastle and Tottenham hold lucrative talks’
Tottenham Hotspur are working on a lucrative decision that will have Son Heung-min front and centre.
Spurs are in the midst of a dreadful season, with the Londoners currently sat 14th in the Premier League table after losing over half of their games throughout the campaign.
Ange Postecoglou’s men are level on points with Everton and West Ham below them, putting plenty of pressure on their final eight games to ensure they don’t drop any further down the table.
While the long-term future of Postecoglou is up in the air due to his tense relationship with the Spurs supporters and their poor results, the Lilywhites are putting plans in place for the summer.
Daniel Levy will be keen to ensure next season is nothing like this one, which is why he is working hard to create a financially rewarding summer to potentially reinvest into the team.
Tottenham will put Son Heung-min centre stage
Pre-season has become an important decision for top Premier League sides in modern times as it serves as an opportunity to make a significant financial profit.
According to the Daily Mail (4 April), Spurs are in discussions over a return to South Korea for a game against Newcastle United at the World Cup Stadium.
| Stats 2024-25 | Son |
| Appearances | 41 |
| Goals | 11 |
| Assists | 12 |
| Minutes Played | 2,923 |
This would put Son at the centre of Tottenham’s pre-season business given his presence in the country as South Korea’s captain.
A capacity crowd of 60,000 people would be expected to attend the game, thanks in part to Son, which would make it financially rewarding for Spurs.
It’s the type of business decision that Levy is notorious for, helping to keep the Lilywhites in a positive financial situation as he continues to run the club well from a business perspective.
Son Heung-min’s Tottenham future is in the air
Even though Tottenham are preparing for a trip to Korea in pre-season, there is a chance that the Spurs captain won’t be part of the plans as he has been linked with the exit doors this summer.
Son’s inconsistent performances have raised question marks about his long-term future at the Lilywhites and whether or not he should remain in the squad moving forward.
The 32-year-old has still played regularly for Postecoglou, but he has been unable to provide the same level of performance that fans expect.
