Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) seems to have finally made a decision. The separation from Tottenham Hotspur, which he had been with for nearly 10 years, is becoming more of a reality. The next destination is likely to be Saudi Arabia.
The British 'Mirror' reported on the 8th (Korea time) that "Son Heung-min, who rejected a trip to LA, is drawing interest from Saudi clubs. 'Sky Bet' rates the probability of Son Heung-min's next team being in the Saudi League at 4/9 (about 69.2%)."
Since entering North London in 2015, Son Heung-min has become an iconic presence for Tottenham. He chose to stay at Tottenham, turning down offers from big clubs due to his desire for a trophy, and this loyalty has earned him the absolute love of Tottenham fans, represented by the 'N17 area.'
Nothing is eternal. The moment for Son Heung-min to leave the team is getting closer. The Saudi Professional League is a likely new destination for him.
The British 'Mirror' explained, "Son Heung-min, who rejected the trip to LA, is receiving interest from Saudi clubs. 'Sky Bet' rates the chance of Son Heung-min's next team being in the Saudi League at 4/9 (about 69.2%)."
Son Heung-min still has a contract with Tottenham and is obligated to participate in the preseason match against Newcastle United, which will be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3.
The media reported that "Son Heung-min is open to transfer, and Saudi clubs are the most likely candidates to secure his signature."
Opinions among Tottenham fans regarding Son Heung-min's future are divided. It's true that he has shown a decline in recent seasons, but there are still voices that see value in utilizing him as a bench resource. Nevertheless, Chairman Daniel Levy maintains the stance that Son Heung-min should "decide his own future." This is to ensure proper respect for the captain who has dedicated himself to the club.
Son Heung-min's departure could also mark the beginning of another opportunity. This is true for promising player Mikey Moore, who has been embroiled in transfer rumors and has been concerned about a decrease in playing time next season. However, if Son Heung-min leaves the team, more playing opportunities may open up for him.
The impact of Son Heung-min's decision on Tottenham's overall flow for the 2025-2026 season is far from insignificant. Will it be separation or retention? The eyes of fans around the world are on his choice.
