Will Son Heung-min (33) end his 10-year companionship with Tottenham Hotspur? The local public strongly wants him to stay.

Will Son Heung-min (33) of the U.K. end his 10-year companionship with Tottenham Hotspur? The local public strongly wants him to stay.

England's Football London shed light on Son's future on the 5th (Korea time), saying, "Tottenham Captain Son Heung-min is being linked to his departure from North London amid the interest of the Saudi Arabian professional league."

Son Heung-min has risen to the ranks of Tottenham legends, whom no one can deny. He won the UEFA Europa League title in 2024-2025 and solved the last puzzle of his career: his first championship trophy. He also became the first Asian captain in the club's history to lift the trophy by helping Tottenham escape from the military for the first time in 17 years.

Son Heung-min has become Tottenham's "living legend" in name and reality. Since Tottenham was founded in 1882, only three club captains, including Son Heung-min, have won the UEL trophy. All of them were Alan Mulally in the 1971-1972 season and Steve Perryman in the 1983-1984 season, the predecessor of UEL, at the UEFA Cup.

Son Heung-min is the third man to be named on the captain's list of glory in Tottenham's history. Posting an image of Mullally, Perryman, and Son Heung-min with the trophy on their social media, Tottenham also applauded by saying, "He joined the elite group of Tottenham captains who lifted the European national championship trophy. A certified Tottenham legend."
Nevertheless, the future of Son Heung-min at Tottenham remains uncertain. It is not known whether he will continue to be accompanied by Tottenham for 11 years next season.

Son Heung-min is currently drawing attention from Saudi Arabian clubs with oil money on his back. Al Nasr, Al-Itihad and Al-Hilal, all of whom are backed by the Saudi Arabian national wealth fund, are known to want him. Talk Sports recently reported that Son Heung-min of Tottenham is not only bringing talented players to the league, but also being targeted by several Saudi professional league teams that are seeking to advance into new international markets.
The media added, "The Saudi League's summer transfer market will be held on July 20. Son Heung-min, the 32-year-old Korean national striker, is expected to be one of the many targets." According to the British newspaper The Sun, Tottenham is also reluctant to sell Son, but they think they can accept it if a large offer comes in.

Son's contract expires in the summer of 2026. This summer is the last chance for Tottenham to sell him and collect the transfer fee. As Son will turn 33 next month, Tottenham fans are saying that he should choose "beautiful goodbye" if he can earn a large amount of money.
Among them, Al-Nasr is cited as a likely destination. The Sun of the U.K. said, "He could move to multiple clubs in the Saudi professional league. According to sources, Tottenham is considering selling Son if a huge offer is made to him. Al-Nasr is eyeing Son as successor of Cristiano Ronaldo. They are already in the process of recruiting Son."

The British Daily Mail also reported that Son Heung-min has been spotted on Al-Nasr's radar and that he is being mentioned as an ideal replacement for Ronaldo. Tottenham is now reportedly planning to listen to Saudi Arabia's proposal.

Al-Nasr is currently facing the possibility of saying goodbye to Ronaldo. Ronaldo's contract with the team expires at the end of this month, but he has not signed a contract yet. Since he hopes to participate in the FIFA 2025 Club World Cup this month, rumors are circulating that he could move to other teams that have qualified for the tournament, such as Al Hilal.

RT Hard also tried to recruit Son in the summer of 2023. According to CBS Sports, RT Hard paid 65 million U.S. dollars to Tottenham for a transfer. The suggested annual salary for Son amounted to 30 million euros (46.5 billion won) and 120 million euros (186.1 billion won) for four years.
At that time, Son's choice was to stay in the Premier League. He chose to stay at Tottenham and take on a new challenge with coach Engie Postecoglou. Referring to Ki Sung-yueng (FC Seoul), who said, "The captain of the Korean national team will not go to China," he also said, "Money doesn't matter now. It's important to play in the league that I like."

The situation is different now. Son Heung-min is entering his twilight years as he will turn 33 soon, and his recent injury history has significantly increased. Contrary to expectations, he has yet to sign an additional multi-year contract with Tottenham, leaving him with only one season left. Unlike two years ago, there is a good chance that both Son Heung-min and Tottenham will be shaken by the temptation of oil money.

The U.S. ESPN also pointed out that Saudi Arabia can lure Tottenham and Son Heung-min with its overwhelming financial power. "Tottenham, the winner of the UEFA Europa League, is reluctant to part ways with its captain. However, Son is facing a difficult decision as he is likely to earn far more than what he earns in North London when he goes to Saudi Arabia," the media reported.

In the end, Son has to make a choice. "A lot depends on Son, who was not attracted to going to Saudi Arabia in the past. After finally winning the trophy, Son might feel that his work at Tottenham is over. But he might think that now is the time to start something," said Alasdair Gold, a Tottenham reporter for Football London. 먹튀검증
People in the U.K. seem to want Son to stay there. "He is a legend of Tottenham. I think he should stay for another year. He is eligible to play in the Champions League before he leaves North London next summer," Football Londoner Sam Truelove said. "I hope he stays for another year and regains his form. Then he can get the farewell he deserves," he claimed.
