TBR Football understands that there is a strong possibility that Son Heung-min will remain at Tottenham Hotspur next season, although his future will most likely depend on the next manager.
The South Korean is bidding to win his first trophy with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday as they face Manchester United in the Europa League final.
The 32-year-old has now been at the North London club for ten years and his loyalty could be about to be rewarded with a European trophy. Son just watched Harry Kane end his trophy wait and now he will be hoping for a similar moment in Bilbao.
Son could exit on a remarkable high, however, there is a strong possibility that the club captain could give them one final season.
Son Heung-min could give Tottenham one final season
Despite not offering him a new contract and interest from the Saudi Pro League, Son Heung-min could yet stay for one more season at Tottenham, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
The South Korean international signed a one-year extension at Tottenham back in January, but the forward’s future in North London has remained unclear since then.
But with Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham in doubt, the next manager may decide to change the club’s plans and part ways with the captain.
Bailey said: “I’m told Son could remain at Spurs beyond this summer and as we know, it’s totally dependent on the manager.
“That’s why you’re not really seeing many links abroad, because I think it’s still possible that he has a future at Spurs. Obviously, but that is very dependent on who takes over, as they are expecting Postecoglou to go.”
Saudi Pro League remain in contact with Son Heung-min
Son has been linked with a move to Saudi and the Pro League remains in contact with the player’s representatives about a potential summer move.
“The one thing with Son is that the Saudi Pro League are in touch with him and his camp for a summer signing,” added Bailey.
“There is a possibility of him going, but equally there’s the prospect of him staying as well. I know some Tottenham fans probably think he’s going to go for definite, but it isn’t definite.
“Daniel Levy does love him as a person and as a player, despite the fact that he hasn’t offered him that new deal. That’s just football, so that is an interesting one to keep an eye on.”
