Tottenham ready to accept ‘significant’ bid to sell Son Heung-min
Tottenham have been the subject of plenty of speculation of late, with the future of their boss Ange Postecoglou firmly up in the air.
However, the Australian may not prove to be the only high-profile outgoing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.
Son Heung-min has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia recently, with his time in North London seemingly drawing to a close.
The attacker has been a crucial figure for Spurs over the years, but his influence has slowly waned since the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich two years ago.
Spurs will listen to substantial offers for Son
Son was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia two years ago, around the time when Kane jetted off to Germany.
The South Korean star rejected the advances from the Middle East back then, but now it looks as though it could be a different story.
Spurs triggered a 12-month extension to the 32-year-old’s contract back in January, but that now appears to be little more than a temporary solution.
The former Bayer Leverkusen man will be allowed to leave N17 this summer, providing a club tables a “significant” offer for the Spurs skipper, according to The Independent (4 June).
Son has had an injury-hit season this term, which has prompted speculation as to whether his best years are now behind him. With that in mind, now could be the ideal time for Daniel Levy and Co. to cash in on that long-standing interest from Saudi Arabia.
Now could be the right time for Son to move on
There can be no doubt about the fact that Son has been an iconic figure for Tottenham over the years.
The forward has transformed into a global superstar over the course of his 10 years in North London, and he has arguably been one of the Premier League’s finest talents during that stint.

He has made over 450 appearances for the Lilywhites, and finally achieved his goal of securing silverware with the club when they triumphed over Manchester United in the Europa League final.
It could be argued that, with that box now ticked in Son’s Spurs career, it could be a good time for him to move on to a new challenge.
Injuries limited him to just 30 Premier League appearances this term, his joint-lowest total since his very first season in a Spurs shirt. He was also only played a bit part role in the latter stages of their European campaign.
Son, who turns 33 next month, isn’t getting any younger, and with Tottenham potentially set for a new era if Postecoglou departs, now could be a good time to say what would be a very emotional goodbye.
