In the midst of rumors of Saudi Arabian interest, a Sky Sports reporter has updated fans on Son Heung-min’s future at Tottenham, and a report suggests Spurs chairman Daniel Levy took a big gamble.When his time in north London comes to an end, Son, 31, will go down as one of the greatest Tottenham players of all time. The South Korean star, who is currently the team’s captain, and Cliff Jones are tied for sixth place on Spurs’ all-time leading scorers list with 159 goals each.When Son moved to Liverpool in 2015 after spending just £22 million from Bayer Leverkusen, nobody could have imagined the kind of effect he would go on to have.
Son will only have one year left when the current season ends because his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025.The fact that Son is one of four prominent Premier League players being linked to moves to the Saudi Pro League further heightens Tottenham’s fears regarding Son’s future.
In addition to Son, other coveted players include Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), and Casemiro (Manchester United).

Football Insider reported earlier in March that negotiations had begun between Son’s team and the Spurs. The report states that Son agreeing to a new contract to prolong his stay in the Premier League is the most likely scenario.After almost three weeks, the discussions are still going on, according to Michael Bridge, a correspondent for Sky Sports.
The fact that the two sides are still gathered around the negotiation table is encouraging, even though it is slightly concerning that the discussions don’t seem to be moving further.
Bridge said, “Yeah, still going strong.” “Let’s be honest, this man is not just an excellent player on the field but also a fantastic global ambassador and a vital member of the football team.
Since replacing Harry Kane as club captain, he has been an excellent leader.

Daniel Levy’s position toward taking Saudi offers
Tottenham would be extremely hesitant to lose a player with Son’s caliber, particularlyConsequently, a previous report from Football Insider stated that Daniel Levy, the chairman of Spurs, is prepared to take a chance and turn down any Saudi offer he receives this summer.
That will be welcome news for a lot of Tottenham supporters. Nevertheless, if a new deal isn’t worked out, the club might lose Son for nothing in a year and a half.
