Tottenham captain Heung-Min Son could be sold for at least £50 million | OneFootball

Tottenham supporters have long considered Heung-Min Son a key figure in their squad, but after a decade-long stint at the North London club, his future is now uncertain.

With performances this season falling short of expectations, questions are beginning to surface about whether it’s time for both Son and the club to part ways.

The 32-year-old’s struggles could lead to significant changes at Spurs, and the club's upcoming transfer plans may see him on the move.

The recent extension of Son’s contract, which ties him to Tottenham until the summer of 2026, has done little to silence the growing speculation.

Despite this, interest from other clubs has not waned, and some reports suggest Tottenham could still be open to selling their star player.

Tottenham’s decision to extend Son Heung-min’s contract was a curious one, especially given his recent dip in form.

The forward has struggled this season, often looking a shadow of his former self.

This has raised concerns that his poor performances could trigger wider changes within the team, with some even suggesting that Spurs’ manager, Ange Postecoglou, could be at risk.

Despite these struggles, Tottenham exercised their option to extend Son’s contract by another year, yet it seems they may still be open to letting him go.

Speaking to Tottenham News, Bryan King, a former Spurs scout, stated that the club would likely demand at least £50 million for the South Korean international.

"Son will have a year left on his contract and he is in his early thirties,"  King explained. "I think Tottenham would want a minimum of £50million to sell him."

Although Son’s on-field contribution has diminished, King points out that his commercial value to the club is significant, with many fans travelling from South Korea to watch him play.

Despite this, Tottenham faces a dilemma. If they hold onto Son for another season, they risk losing him for free once his contract expires.

Spurs' tough call: is £50 million enough?

Son’s declining form is undeniable, but his commercial and fan base value should not be overlooked.

His reputation as a global star, especially in South Korea, contributes significantly to Spurs’ revenue, both in matchday attendance and merchandise sales.

The £50 million transfer fee being speculated could be seen as a fair price given his age and current form.

It’s also worth noting that Saudi Arabian clubs have been previously linked with Son, with rumours of interest potentially resurfacing in the summer.

If the right offer comes in, Tottenham might find it hard to turn down, especially as they look to rebuild and strengthen their squad.
