Tottenham Hotspur club Star is edging closer to an exit from the Lilywhites as Aston Villa keen on signing him.
\nRanked at No.3 in FourFourTwo\u2019s 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\u2019 greatest-ever servants.<\/p>\n
But now approaching the end of his contract \u2013 and turning 33 next summer \u2013 Son\u2019s future is under threat. Chairman Daniel Levy is renowned for his ruthlessness, even with club legends\u2026 so could Son be the next victim of Spurs\u2019 evolution?
\nTottenham are currently 10th in the Premier League table. Manager Ange Postecoglou is under pressure at the club, with Son\u2019s future another cloud over the club at the moment, too.<\/p>\n
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.
\nNow, Turkish outlet Fanatik have reported that Aston Villa and Galatasaray are keen to open talks with Son over a shock move.<\/p>\n
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 \u2013 ranked at no.5 in FourFourTwo\u2019s list of the best strikers in the world right now \u2013 are still on the hunt for a left-winger in January.
\nSport Witness notes that Son is \u201cunhappy\u201d about his current club situation, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s claimed Cimbom are hoping that they can enter into preliminary transfer talks with the Tottenham star in the near future.\u201d
\nIn FourFourTwo\u2019s opinion, however, there is little chance of the attacker departing this winter.
\nTottenham will be loathed to lose a player midseason when he is still integral to the side \u2013 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.<\/p>\n
Son is worth \u20ac45 million, according to Transfermarkt. Spurs take on Manchester City this weekend when Premier League action returns.<\/p>\n

Ange Postecoglou\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
One player that has fallen slightly out of favour in recent weeks is midfielder James Maddison, but GiveMeSport claims that the England international isn\u2019t likely to leave the club in January.<\/p>\n
Maddison, 27, has played just 14 minutes across Spurs\u2019 last two Premier League matches, being substituted on in the closing stages of each match.<\/p>\n
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.
\nMaddison\u2019s recent dip in playing time has been prompted, in part at least, but Postecoglou\u2019s desire for his side to have more control in midfield.<\/p>\n
Having started Tottenham\u2019s first nine games of the Premier League campaign, the Englishman has been named on the bench for their past two games.<\/p>\n
That has lead to the likes of Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur being deployed in midfield, as opposed to the more attacking Maddison.<\/p>\n
Maddison, who has a combined 20 goals and assists for Spurs, is contracted to the club until the end of the 2027\/28 campaign.<\/p>\n
The midfielder has captained Postecoglou\u2019s side in the Europa League this term, and the report suggests that he remains an important part of Postecoglou\u2019s squad and is therefore likely to stay put beyond January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
