Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-Min has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
The 32-year-old South Korean international is one of the best attackers in the Premier League and his performances have caught the attention of the Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli. They are set to part ways with Allan Saint-Maximin and they have identified the South Korean as his replacement, as per Rudy Galetti.
🚨👀 Following the departure of #SaintMaximin, #AlAhli are looking for an offensive player to replace him. 🟢
📃 In addition to Ademola #Lookman, as revealed yesterday, the 🇸🇦 club also considers #Son Heung-min – on the PIF’s list for months now – among the main targets. 🐓⚽ https://t.co/rdWy24U7kj pic.twitter.com/i3qmJbxTd0

The former Newcastle man will need to be replaced adequately and Al Ahli will need a quality player. Son is a proven performer for club and country and he could transform them in the attack.
The Spurs attacker scored 17 goals and picked up 10 assists in all competitions last season. He will add some much-needed goals and creativity in the final third. He is also versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front three.
However, it seems unlikely that Spurs will let him leave. They are yet to replace Harry Kane, who left in the summer of 2023. Selling Son could prove to be a mistake.
The South Korean has been Tottenham’s best player over the past year. It remains to be seen whether he is keen on an exit.
The 32-year-old has proven himself in English football and he might feel that a move to Saudi Arabia would allow him to pocked lucrative wages. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few days.
