Son has a huge following in South Korea, so his involvement on the tour is eagerly awaited by fans over there. As he was instrumental in the successful business structure, his not being there could cause some of those plans to become more complicated. Dumping the 32-year-old before the tour concludes would also mean he hasn't been a part of any promotional events during the trip, which wouldn't make sense given that it had been planned in advance.
Spurs Captain Has Yet to Receive Any Offers .
Tottenham, who have had interest from the Middle East for Son, have yet to receive any offers for the forward. Insiders say that any offer would have to be far in excess of his current valuation for the club to even think about selling him before the Asian tour.
New head coach Thomas Frank, who is set to start work at Tottenham’s Enfield training ground this week, is assessing his squad and wants to add to his options in attack. The club is interested in Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, having recently made the transfer of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich permanent.
Club Legend’s Position Remains to Be Defined
Son Heung-min arrived at Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has scored 173 goals in 454 games since then. He is generally considered one of the club’s best players of the Premier League era. That legacy was further secured when he became the first Spurs captain in more than four decades to lift a European trophy, after guiding them to the Europa League final win over Manchester United last month.
Even if his future is not to be decided until late in the transfer window, which slams shut on September 1, his departure would be a major culture shock for the club’s supporters.
