Son ready to reunite with Mourinho as Tottenham exit agreed
Son Heung-min could call time on his illustrious Tottenham career this summer.
Son has been a stellar servant to Tottenham since he arrived in N17 from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.
The South Korean crowned his last 10 years of service by becoming the first captain to lift a European trophy for the Lilywhites in 41 years, ensuring his legacy at Tottenham.
While Son is held in high esteem in North London, his performances have noticeably dipped as the forward approaches his 33rd birthday.
This had led to speculation over Son’s future at Tottenham, with the latest news taking him a step closer to an emotional exit.
Tottenham have £25million agreement in Saudi Arabia
Son has indicated he could leave Tottenham this summer, with Saudi Arabia emerging as the most likely destination for the skipper in recent weeks.
The forward has one year left on his contract, and Tottenham will look to extract maximum value from any potential transfer, especially given how much revenue Son’s global status brings the club.
As reported by journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu via X (15 June), Fenerbahçe have now entered the race to sign Son following positive talks between the player and his former manager, Jose Mourinho.

| Son Heung-min | 70 | 29 | 25 | 5,485′ |
Son is open to joining Fenerbahçe. However, Tottenham have an agreement in Saudi Arabia, and Mourinho’s side will need to pay a transfer fee of £25million if talks are to progress.
Son arguably showed his best form under the former Chelsea manager.
They have often spoken highly of each other, with Mourinho recently congratulating his former winger, while taking the opportunity to criticise Daniel Levy, following Spurs’ success in the UEFA Europa League.
Tottenham ready to move on from Son
There is no doubt that Son will go down in Spurs folklore as one of their most influential players in recent history, but all good stories come to an end.
The forward no longer commands the same aura on the pitch and has struggled to make a telling impact on games this season despite posting decent numbers.
He started the Europa League final on the bench, and was not an auto-pick in crucial games for the first time in a long time at Tottenham.
The permanent signing of Mathys Tel indicates that Tottenham are planning for a future without their captain, but he would leave North London as a club legend.
