Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min’s future at the club hinges on the team’s lucrative pre-season tour of Asia, as Saudi Arabian clubs circle for the forward who has just one year left on his contract.
Any potential transfer for the 32-year-old is likely to be delayed until after the commercial trip, where Son is a key draw in his native South Korea.
Tottenham reportedly won’t consider selling Son before the tour unless an offer significantly exceeds his valuation, with no formal bids yet received.
New head coach Thomas Frank is also assessing his attacking options, having already signed Mathys Tel and showing interest in Bryan Mbeumo.
Son’s departure would mark a major change for Spurs, where he has been a pivotal figure since 2015, recently leading the club to a Europa League trophy.
A resolution to his future is expected to drag on into the late stages of the transfer window.
