Son ‘set for Tottenham exit’ after Daniel Levy £100m mission revealed
Son Heung-Min could be set to leave Tottenham in the summer.
The 32-year-old has been extremely inconsistent this season, notching seven goals and nine assists in 26 matches in the Premier League.
The South Korean star is considered a leader in North London but his actions on the pitch have done little to turn around Ange Postecoglou‘s fortunes in recent months.
The veteran may find himself surplus to requirements at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium after a new development emerged.
Daniel Levy on personal Tyler Dibling mission
Tottenham chief Daniel Levy has been the subject of major criticism due to a dismal season for the N17 outfit but he is trying to restore his reputation.
A report from Give Me Sport (27 March) claims that Levy has made it his personal mission to sign Tyler Dibling from Southampton this summer.
Southampton have placed a £100million price tag on the 19-year-old but that has not fazed the Spurs supremo, who believes that he can negotiate a better deal, according to the outlet.
Son could be on the way out if Tottenham sign Dibling
If Levy completes his mission and brings Dibling to N17, that would give Postecoglou or his replacement, if he is sacked before the end of the campaign, a huge dilemma.
The Saints ace primarily features from the left-wing, a position that is currently occupied by the South Korea star.
| Stats (Premier League) | Son | Dibling |
| Matches | 26 | 25 |
| Goals | 7 | 2 |
| Assists | 9 | 0 |
| Minutes played | 1863 | 1540 |
Since Son has been like a shadow of his former self this season, a transfer might make sense for both parties.
The player can revigorate himself in new surroundings, perhaps with less expectation placed upon him and the club can get a decent fee and reinvest for the future.
Dibling has huge potential and has Premier League experience under his belt but losing a legendary player to accommodate him may not go down well for supporters, but it may be a necessary evil for the Lilywhites to take a step forward.
Surely it is better than the mediocrity that fans have had to put up with in an utterly dreadful campaign that they will be glad to see the back of.
