Report: Tottenham Have ‘No Chance’ of Selling £22m Player This Month
Clubs Eyeing Tottenham Hotspur Star Set for Disappointment
Ange Postecoglou is still shaping his ideal squad, but he should be pleased with Tottenham’s summer transactions. Timo Werner has returned on another loan deal, and Archie Gray, one of the country’s top young talents, has joined from Leeds United.
Tottenham has also offloaded Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga, and Tanguy Ndombele, easing their wage bill. However, one key player will not be leaving this window.
Tottenham Make Heung-min Son Decision Amid Saudi Interest
Heung-min Son, Tottenham’s captain and star player, joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015 for £22 million (Guardian) and has since become a fan favorite. Son has played 408 games, scored 162 goals, and provided 82 assists for Tottenham. Despite being 32 and entering the final year of his contract, Tottenham plans to trigger a one-year extension, signaling their desire to retain their captain.
Reports from GiveMeSport indicate that Al-Ahli, a Saudi Arabian club, has shown interest in Son. However, there is “no chance” Tottenham will sell him this month, and Son has previously dismissed the idea of moving to the Middle East. Thus, Al-Ahli may have to wait and hope Son changes his mind, though this seems unlikely.
Son’s Tottenham Teammate Could Move to Saudi Arabia for Big Money
Tottenham has no intention of selling Son this summer. Despite his age, Son’s performance in the 2023/24 season, where he was the top scorer, demonstrated he remains Tottenham’s best player.
While Tottenham shouldn’t consider selling Son, one of his teammates might be allowed to leave for Saudi Arabia. Reports suggest that Tottenham is expecting bids for Richarlison from the Saudi Pro League, with clubs potentially offering close to £60 million. If such an offer materializes, Tottenham would likely find it a straightforward decision to sell Richarlison during this window.
