Heung-min Son is more willing than ever to leave Tottenham Hotspur.

Heung-min Son edging closer to Tottenham departure amid growing Saudi interest

Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-min Son may be approaching the end of his time in North London, with the South Korean star reportedly more open to a departure than ever before.

A wave of changes has swept through Spurs behind the scenes this summer. Key figures such as Donna-Maria Cullen have left the club, while manager Ange Postecoglou, assistant Ryan Mason, and chief football officer Scott Munn have also exited, signaling a major reshuffle.

Amidst this backdrop, Son’s future is once again in the spotlight, with renewed interest from Saudi Arabian clubs raising questions about his commitment to stay.

Having spent over a decade with the club, Son has firmly established himself as a modern Tottenham icon. His loyalty and pursuit of success were finally rewarded last season when Spurs edged past Manchester United 1-0 to win the Europa League.

At 32, Son isn’t being pushed out, but Spurs would reportedly be willing to part ways if a suitable offer comes in. There’s a growing sense internally that the forward may be preparing to move on, with teammates said to have picked up on this shift.

According to football.london, once Thomas Frank is officially appointed as Spurs’ new head coach, one of his first tasks will be to hold face-to-face talks with Son to clarify the player’s stance on his future.

The report adds that Son is now more amenable to leaving Tottenham than at any previous point in his career.

As Spurs evaluate their next steps, Son’s age and contract situation will be major factors. With his 33rd birthday approaching and a contract extension signed earlier this year, the club must decide whether to cash in now or risk losing him for free next summer.

Tottenham’s return to the UEFA Champions League after a two-year absence highlights the importance of Son’s leadership and experience, especially in a squad dominated by young talent.

Still, Son hasn’t ruled out a summer exit. When asked during the international break, he said: “I still have one more year left on the contract. Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens. But no matter where I end up, I will always do the best I can. It will never change.”
