Tottenham Hotspur club Star is edging closer to an exit from the Lilywhites as Aston Villa keen on signing him.
Ranked at No.3 in FourFourTwo’s list of the best Premier League wingers of all time, the South Korean superstar joined Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen back in 2015. He has since gone on to score over 100 league goals for the club and has been one of the Spurs’ greatest-ever servants.

But now approaching the end of his contract – and turning 33 next summer – Son’s future is under threat. Chairman Daniel Levy is renowned for his ruthlessness, even with club legends… so could Son be the next victim of Spurs’ evolution?
Tottenham are currently 10th in the Premier League table. Manager Ange Postecoglou is under pressure at the club, with Son’s future another cloud over the club at the moment, too.

Recent reports claim that Tottenham will not offer the No.7 a new deal when his current one expires, instead triggering a one-year extension to keep him on the same wages.
Now, Turkish outlet Fanatik have reported that Aston Villa and Galatasaray are keen to open talks with Son over a shock move.

The Istanbul giants have let former Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha leave on loan to cash-strapped Lyon, and despite boasting the on-loan Victor Osimhen in attack – ranked at no.5 in FourFourTwo’s list of the best strikers in the world right now – are still on the hunt for a left-winger in January.
Sport Witness notes that Son is “unhappy” about his current club situation, noting, “It’s claimed Cimbom are hoping that they can enter into preliminary transfer talks with the Tottenham star in the near future.”
In FourFourTwo’s opinion, however, there is little chance of the attacker departing this winter.
Tottenham will be loathed to lose a player midseason when he is still integral to the side – and with the opportunity to trigger an extension, the club stand to make more money from a sale in the summer, should they wish to move him on at all.

Son is worth €45 million, according to Transfermarkt. Spurs take on Manchester City this weekend when Premier League action returns.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have won just five of their 11 league games so far this term, most recently falling to a 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town.

The Australian will hope to see his side improve after the international break, but City will undoubtedly provide a stern test for the Lilywhites despite their own recent poor run of form.

One player that has fallen slightly out of favour in recent weeks is midfielder James Maddison, but GiveMeSport claims that the England international isn’t likely to leave the club in January.

Maddison, 27, has played just 14 minutes across Spurs’ last two Premier League matches, being substituted on in the closing stages of each match.

The Englishman only joined Spurs from Leicester City last summer, but he has already played 45 times for the North London club across all competitions.
Maddison’s recent dip in playing time has been prompted, in part at least, but Postecoglou’s desire for his side to have more control in midfield.

Having started Tottenham’s first nine games of the Premier League campaign, the Englishman has been named on the bench for their past two games.

That has lead to the likes of Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur being deployed in midfield, as opposed to the more attacking Maddison.

Maddison, who has a combined 20 goals and assists for Spurs, is contracted to the club until the end of the 2027/28 campaign.

The midfielder has captained Postecoglou’s side in the Europa League this term, and the report suggests that he remains an important part of Postecoglou’s squad and is therefore likely to stay put beyond January.
