Son has only 12 months left in his existing Spurs contract and has been linked with a move away from the North London side, who are reportedly willing to let the player leave this summer as they want to cash in on the experienced attacker.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
According to talkSPORT, three Saudi Pro League clubs, Al-Ahli, Al Qadsiah and Al-Nassr have shown interest in the veteran South Korean star. The Saudi officials will reportedly prioritise Al-Ahli's pursuit of the player as the AFC Champions League winners are determined to strengthen the left side of their attack. All three clubs are ready to shell out €40 million (£34m/$46m) for Son.
DID YOU KNOW?
Son, who will turn 33 next month, scored seven goals last season for Spurs in the Premier League. It's the first time he has failed to reach double figures in the English top flight since his first campaign with the club in 2015-16.

WHAT NEXT?
Tottenham are commercially obligated to play Son during pre-season in a friendly against Newcastle at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3. This means that the player's future can only be decided in the final few weeks of the summer transfer window.
