Heung-min if they receive big Saudi offer this summer
Tottenham Hotspur were appalling throughout the Premier League campaign, but when it came to the UEFA Europa League, they exceeded all expectations to bring the trophy to North London. By doing that, Ange Postecoglou’s men ensured Champions League qualification for next season as well.
However, the Europa League success should not mask the existing problems in the current squad. Several key players underperformed, and if Spurs intend to close the gap on the rivals next season, Daniel Levy has to be ruthless in culling players to make room for fresh blood. One of the players who endured a disappointing 2024/25 season is skipper Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min had an up-and-down campaign, suffering a surprise dip in form. Due to his form and fitness issues, he was in and out of Ange Postecoglou’s side. The Spurs gaffer took the big call of leaving his skipper on the bench in the Europa League final vs Manchester United, and fortunately, the move paid off handsomely.
Son Heung-min could be shipped to Saudi Arabia
The South Korean international scored 11 goals and provided 12 assists in 46 games in all competitions. The numbers suggest that it has been a decent campaign for Son, but that is far from the truth. The Spurs talisman failed to make an instant impact over a stretch of games
Now, according to an exclusive report from The Sun, Son has emerged the latest Premier League star to be chased by the Saudi Pro League. Tottenham would consider cashing him in if they receive a massive offer this summer amid interest from the cash-rich Saudi Pro League.
The North Londoners triggered a one-year extension in their No.7’s contract that tied him to the club until the summer of 2026. It is understood that the forward is happy to stay at the club and fulfil his contract, after Tottenham’s Europa League success secured Champions League football next term. Son will turn 33 years old in July, and after finally lifting silverware with Tottenham in Bilbao, he may consider retiring abroad if an offer comes in.

The aforementioned report adds that Son has been identified by the billionaire-backers of the Saudi Pro League as a superstar target, with Cristiano Ronaldo set to leave Al-Nassr in the coming weeks. Their primary target was Mohamed Salah, but after he signed a bumper new deal with Liverpool, attention has now switched on the Tottenham icon.
This isn’t the first time that clubs from Middle East are showing interest in signing Son. The 32-year-old has been a target for many years, but as he is on course to enter the final year of his deal and the chance to leave the club on a high, Saudi clubs perhaps are fashioning their chances of landing the versatile forward this time around
