Saudi club now plotting big money move for ‘outstanding’ Tottenham player  | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-min Son is now being targeted by Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad ahead of the summer window.

The 31-year-old has just one-year remaining on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but he had voiced his desire to stay last year.

Heung-min Son is not the only huge name which Al-Ittihad are said to be targeting over the coming months with the suggestion Mohamed Salah is also on their radar.

Al-Ittihad eyeing Heung-min Son

According to a report from FootballTransfers, the South Korean has been identified as a player who could arrive alongside Salah to bolster their attack.

Although Son is said to have previously voiced his desire to stay in N17, the report says the remainder of the campaign could potentially change his mind.

Missing out on Champions League football could be a factor which may see Son decide against a future in north London.

Son’s future at Tottenham

With just one-year remaining on his current deal at Hotspur Way, it was recently suggested that he had held positive talks with the club over a contract extension.

Losing the captain in the summer would be an enormous blow for Ange Postecoglou given the return he has provided Spurs this season.

Having already hailed the South Korean as ‘outstanding‘ earlier in the term, Postecoglou has seen a healthy return come from his captain.

Although he has been absent during the Asian Cup tournament, Son has still provided a stunning return of 12 goals and six assists in the Premier League.

A quiet 2022/23 season under Antonio Conte has now been put behind him after he hit the ground running under the Australian.

It would be hard to imagine that the club are not already putting plans in place for life after Son, but losing him this summer would perhaps be considerably earlier than many would’ve hoped for.
