Son Heung-min ‘set to leave Tottenham’ after 10 years at north London club

 

Son Heung-min is ‘set to leave Tottenham’ this summer after becoming a key target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League, according to reports.

The South Korean has been at Spurs for the last decade, scoring 173 goals and providing 101 assists across 454 games for the north London club.

Son is a hugely popular player at Tottenham, having recently helped them end their 17-year wait for a trophy by clinching the Europa League title.

But it seems that the Spurs captain is set to leave in the current summer transfer window after The Telegraph dropped a huge update on Tuesday.

Why have Spurs decided to sell Son Heung-min?

The newspaper reports that Son is set for an exit because Spurs wish to ‘generate transfer funds’ and ‘reshape their squad’ for the 2025-26 season.

Son, who can operate as a left winger or centre-forward, is wanted by several teams from Saudi Arabia and Spurs are keen to cash in on him.

The 32-year-old only has one year left on his deal and Spurs would rather sell him now and generate a fee than lose him as a free agent in 2026.

Son conjured up seven goals and 10 assists across 30 Premier League games in the 2024-25 campaign under head coach Ange Postecoglou.

He was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for 2021 and landed the Premier League Golden Boot in 2022.

Son has been crowned Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Season on three occasions and also helped the team to runner-up finishes in the Champions League and Carabao Cup in 2019 and 2021 respectively.

Son Heung-min left emotional after Europa League triumph

Son was left incredibly emotional after helping the club win the Europa League in May with Spurs’ attacking superstar spotted in floods of tears.

‘Let’s say I’m a legend – why not?’ Son told TNT Sports after the victory over Manchester United in the final.

‘Seventeen years – nobody has done it, so let’s say with amazing players, [I am] probably a legend of the club.

‘This is what I’ve always dreamed for. Today is the day it happened. I am the happiest man in the world.’

Tottenham boss Postecoglou also lauded Son, the club’s longest serving player, after the Europa League final win over United.

‘We’ve had some unbelievable champion footballers at this club – Harry [Kane] is a prime example – and they haven’t had a day like this,’ Postecoglou said.

‘I wanted a day like this for Sonny because he has done everything he can in the last 10 years to try and get this feeling and for some reason it hasn’t worked.’

Son’s 10-year spell at Tottenham now looks set to end on a high with a trophy.
