Saudi Arabia are reportedly finishing off transfer plans ahead of the summer transfer window, with Tottenham captain Heung-min Son a target.
One of the Premier League’s top attackers, the South Korean international is one of many well-known athletes who have been connected to a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months.
As Saudi Arabia prepares to give football another massive boost this summer, it is also rumored that a number of clubs from the Middle Eastern state are interested in Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne.
Journalist Rudy Galetti also claims that authorities are about to initiate contact with Son, considering the Tottenham player to be one of Saudi Arabia’s top targets.
Son’s departure from Tottenham, who Brennan Johnson recently praised as “world-class,” would be devastating for the north London team, especially since they lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich a year earlier.
Furthermore, considering how talented the winger is and how bad the Saudi Pro League is still, many fans would be extremely disappointed if Son decided to move to Saudi Arabia.
Heung-min Son can’t leave Tottenham for Saudi Arabia
While still in the height of his career, Son has established himself as a modern-day Tottenham great and a leader for the team.
For this reason, it would be quite unfortunate if the South Korean player, along with players like Salah and De Bruyne, moved from North London to the Middle East this summer.
Even if Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham team won’t win any hardware this season, Son, the Australian’s hand-picked captain, is helping the team create something truly unique.
Additionally, Son’s Premier League career—which is hardly over after all these years at Tottenham—would be marred by his departure for Saudi Arabia.
