Son Heung-min has played for Tottenham for a full decade since joining from Leverkusen in 2015. He has become one of the most successful signings for Tottenham in recent years, playing for the team in 454 games, contributing 173 goals and 101 assists. He is one of the most popular players in Tottenham history and has also helped the team break the embarrassment of not having a championship in 17 years and won the Europa League championship this season.

The 32-year-old Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham will expire next summer, and he is an important asset in terms of both competitive and commercial value. Especially in Asia, he has a very high popularity. But even so, his departure this summer may be a foregone conclusion.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Son Heung-min has been confirmed to leave Tottenham in this summer window. Because Tottenham plans to raise transfer funds by selling Son Heung-min to prepare for rebuilding the lineup to compete in the new season.

Tottenham has experienced a disappointing Premier League season, and only the success of the UEFA Cup has somewhat saved the team's face. They are now undergoing internal restructuring, the future of coach Postkoglu has not yet been clarified, and senior management has also resigned one after another.

Son Heung-min can play both the left winger and the center. He was selected as the Premier League's Best Team of the Season by the Professional Players' Association of England (PFA) in 2021 and won the Premier League Golden Boot Award in 2022.

In addition, he was elected Tottenham's best player of the season three times and helped the team finish second in the 2019 Champions League and the 2021 League Cup.

This season, he played 46 games in various competitions under coach Postkoglu, scoring 11 goals and sending 12 assists.

Although he plays as the main player most of the time, he missed the starting lineup of Tottenham's UEFA Cup final against Manchester United due to a foot injury. However, he still makes a great contribution to Tottenham's first championship in nearly 17 years, which further consolidates his position in club history.

After helping Tottenham win the UEFA Cup, Son Heung-min lost control and shed tears on the court. After the game, he said in an interview with TNT: "Just say I am a legend, why not? No one has done this for 17 years. With these outstanding teammates, we have become a legend of the club. This is what I have always dreamed of. Today, all this has finally come true. I am the happiest person in the world."

From a new star to a superstar, from a superstar to a captain, from a captain to a legend, Son Heung-min's experience at Tottenham was undoubtedly successful, and it was also beautiful enough to end with a championship.

It is reported that many Saudi league giants are interested in introducing Son Heung-min, and he has been listed as a priority. As early as 2023, the Saudi club had offered a huge four-year contract for Son Heung-min with a total price of 100 million pounds. At that time, Son Heung-min once said firmly: "My pride in the Premier League is more important than money." But this summer, the situation has changed.

For the Saudi League, Son Heung-min is not only a heavyweight signing on the court, but also a key figure in his expansion of his business territory in the Asian market. For Tottenham, given that Sun's contract expires in June 2026, the next few months are their best chance to recover transfer fees from the signature player.

Now Son Heung-min is focusing on the final stage of the World Cup qualifiers with the national team, and the next company will not be clear yet. Do you think he should go to Saudi Arabia to make gold?
