Son Heung-Min ‘finished at Tottenham’ after German developments emerge
Son Heung-Min continues to be linked with a Tottenham exit after a miserable campaign.
The Spurs captain has been increasingly inconsistent this season despite notching seven goals and nine assists in 26 Premier League matches.
The South Korean is supposed to be a leader in the squad, but has failed to turn around Ange Postecoglou’s circumstances in the last few months.
The veteran may find himself surplus to requirements in North London after a new development from Germany.
Tottenham could replace Son with Leroy Sane
Tottenham skipper Son has been a shadow of his former self this season, and a departure is a realistic possibility, especially given Spurs’ interest in Leroy Sane.
A report from TBR Football (1 April) claims that the Lilywhites are set to rival Arsenal for the Bayern Munich winger’s signature in a free transfer.
It states that Spurs and the Gunners have held talks with the 29-year-old over a potential move back to the Premier League, although he could still extend in Bavaria.
Sane move would be a shrewd one for Tottenham
Tottenham chief Daniel Levy has been under major criticism this season after a dismal season on the pitch, but he is attempting to restore his reputation amongst supporters.
The 63-year-old has admitted that Spurs will only make moves in the transfer window if it is sustainable for the Lilywhites.
| Stats (all competitions) | Son | Sane |
| Matches | 40 | 36 |
| Goals | 11 | 11 |
| Assists | 12 | 4 |
A move for Sane would not cost a penny in terms of a transfer fee, and that would allow Spurs to bolster other areas of their squad in the market.
It would also pave the way for Son to leave as the former Manchester City star can feature from the left and Dejan Kulusevski has the right flanked locked down.
Sane has notched 11 goals and four assists in all competitions this season and could provide a real spark to Postecoglou’s side if he were to make the move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Meanwhile, for Son, he would get the chance to reinvigorate himself in different surroundings away from the expectation that comes with Spurs, and the club could get a decent fee.
Losing Son may be a necessary evil for supporters if they are to avoid the mediocrity that they have had to put up with in an utterly woeful campaign this season.
