Tottenham is reportedly setting an internal policy to accept a massive proposal from Saudi Arabia for Son, who has been the center of the club for 10 years.

Tottenham Hotspur News revealed on the 7th (Korean time) that "Tottenham has decided to accept Son Heung-min's £100 million (184.2 billion won) transfer proposal." It indicates that the persistent interest from Middle Eastern clubs in Son has ultimately led to a decision by the club’s leadership.

Currently, within Tottenham, there is a view that the transfer of Son can be seen as an opportunity to achieve both 'fundraising' and 'generational transition.' As the team's captain, he lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy this season, fulfilling the club's 17-year wish, but concerns have been raised about his recent performance and ability to maintain stamina. In particular, the scene during the UEFA Europa League final where Son remained on the bench symbolically showcased a change in his status.

Former Tottenham scout Brian Keane also made specific remarks regarding this matter. Keane noted, "Son Heung-min's contract has a year remaining and is under the same terms as Harry Kane in the past. Even if Tottenham demands a transfer fee exceeding £100 million, a Saudi Arabian club would be willing to pay that amount."

The Saudi Arabian Pro League has already been building a brand as a 'final stage before retirement' by signing players who have excelled at the top level in Europe, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané, and N'Golo Kanté. The possibility of Son joining this lineup is increasingly growing.

The Telegraph reported on the 3rd, "Son Heung-min is receiving love calls from multiple Saudi Arabian clubs and may part ways with Tottenham." It continued, "Son is still a player who creates magical moments, and despite some inconsistencies this season, his impact has not diminished."

However, reality is harsh. Son has still been competitive in terms of scoring this season, but as the season progressed, frequent injuries and a lack of rotation have led to marked fluctuations in his performance. Particularly under the pressure of having to lead the team as captain, the subsequent ankle injury highlighted his physical limitations.

Internal circumstances within Tottenham have also affected this situation. Although there has been inflow of funds due to their return to the UEFA Champions League, they are still struggling to secure definite resource improvements. There is a viewpoint that reinvestment through the sale of key resources is an inevitable step.

The possibility of Son moving to Saudi Arabia is becoming more realistic than ever. Especially, it is analyzed that Tottenham is positively considering parting with a player who has dominated as a symbol of the team for nearly a decade, even for a large sum, in a manner that allows him to be treated as a 'legend.'
