Son Heung-Min has firmly established himself as one of the best players in the Premier League since his move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 30-year-old South Korean international is a key player for Antonio Conte and his recent return to form will delight the fans and the dressing room.
Son had a slow start to the season after failing to score in a number of games. However, he returned to form with a scintillating hat-trick against Leicester City recently.
According to the reliable Fabrizio Romano, many clubs across Europe have looked at him as a potential target but he is considered as an untouchable asset by club Chairman Daniel Levy.
Romano, in his newsletter, claims: “I started today’s column talking about Harry Kane, but what about his hugely underrated strike partner Son Heung-min?
“Despite being such a top performer for Tottenham for so many years, he’s rarely someone we hear about on the transfer market.
“Well, it’s not due to a lack of interest – there have been many clubs who have looked at him, but he’s always been considered untouchable by Tottenham. When that is the case, it is almost impossible to negotiate with Daniel Levy.
“He’s also really happy in London, and that is why a move away has never been advanced.”
It is no surprise that a world-class player like Son is being monitored by other European clubs. However, it seems almost impossible that Spurs will sanction his departure anytime soon.
Furthermore, he has a long-term contract at the club until 2025 and Son is believed to be happy at Spurs.
Therefore, the fans and club hierarchy can be relaxed despite the interest from other clubs.
The South Korean is at the peak of his powers right now and he will be hoping to help Tottenham win some trophies this season.
It is imperative for the Londoners to hold on to players of his calibre if they want to challenge the likes of Manchester City for the Premier League title in the near future.
