Son Heung-min’s future at Tottenham is under growing uncertainty, with reports linking him to a potential move away from the club. Galatasaray are reportedly interested in signing the South Korean forward, aiming to strengthen their attacking options after recent departures. While Son’s contract expires in the summer, Tottenham has the option to extend it by a year. However, with Son reportedly unhappy with this situation, he may be seeking a long-term deal elsewhere. With transfer talks expected to begin soon, the coming months could see a major change for the Spurs star.
Son Heung-min Set to Leave Tottenham, Transfer Talks Ahead
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is nearing an exit from the club.
Ranked third in FourFourTwo’s list of the best Premier League wingers ever, South Korean star Son Heung-min arrived at Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015. Since then, he has scored over 100 league goals for the club, establishing himself as one of Spurs’ all-time greats.
However, with his contract nearing its end and his 33rd birthday approaching next summer, Son’s future at Tottenham is uncertain. Chairman Daniel Levy is known for his hard-nosed approach, even when it comes to club legends. Could Son be the next casualty in the Spurs’ ongoing evolution?
Son Heung-min Linked with Surprise January Move from Spurs
Tottenham sit 10th in the Premier League standings, with manager Ange Postecoglou facing growing pressure. Meanwhile, Son’s future remains uncertain, adding to the cloud hanging over the club.
Recent reports suggest Tottenham won’t offer Son a new contract when his current one ends. Instead, they’ll activate a one-year extension, keeping him on his current salary.
Turkish outlet Fanatik reports that Galatasaray is eager to initiate talks with Son regarding a surprise transfer.
The Istanbul club recently loaned out former Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha to financially struggling Lyon. Despite having on-loan Victor Osimhen in attack—ranked fifth in FourFourTwo’s list of the world’s best strikers—they are still searching for a left-winger this January.
Sport Witness notes that Son is “unhappy” about his current club situation, noting, “It’s claimed Cimbom are hoping that they can enter into preliminary transfer talks with the Tottenham star in the near future.”
In FourFourTwo’s opinion, however, there is little chance of the attacker departing this winter.
Tottenham would be reluctant to lose an important player midseason, especially with his role still crucial to the team. With the option to activate an extension, the club could potentially earn more from a sale in the summer if they decide to part ways with him.
Transfermarkt values Son at €45 million. Tottenham will face Manchester City this weekend as Premier League action resumes.
Club Set to Open Transfer Talks with Tottenham Star
Turkish media reports that Galatasaray is interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min.
The Turkish champions are said to be looking for a left-sided attacker in the upcoming transfer window and have targeted the South Korean international.
Fanatik has covered Galatasaray’s unexpected pursuit of Son, stating that the Istanbul club is preparing to make a concerted effort to secure his signature. It’s also reported that Cimbom hopes to begin preliminary transfer talks with the Tottenham star soon.
Following Kerem Aktürkoğlu‘s move to Benfica in the summer and Wilfried Zaha’s loan to Lyon, Galatasaray are looking to strengthen their wide offensive alternatives in January, when the transfer window reopens.
Son’s contract with Tottenham is set to expire in the summer, though the club holds the option to extend it for another year. Reports suggest that Son is dissatisfied with this arrangement and would prefer a long-term contract from Spurs.
So far this season, Son has made 11 appearances for Tottenham, scoring three goals.
