Tottenham Hotspur are growing concerned that Son Heung-Min could look to leave the club at the end of the season, according to Football Insider.
The exclusive report understands that Son’s future at Spurs may be tied to that of Mauricio Pochettino who is looking increasingly likely to leave.
If that were to happen – The Telegraph claim Pochettino could soon pay for Spurs’ poor start to the season – Son would apparently push for an exit.

The same Spurs source which told Football Insider this also believes that the South Korean has major doubts over whether the club can win trophies.
Losing Son would be a devastating blow. The 27-year-old has emerged as arguably our second most important player behind Harry Kane, scoring 28 goals since the start of last season including nine in the Champions League.
When we already face a future without Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen, it is imperative that the key players on long-term deals, Son is contracted until 2023 according to transfermarkt, are retained.
Pochettino’s close relationship with some players, notably Son and Kane, and the probable loss of Champions League football, may end up making next summer’s ‘rebuild’ even more painful than we were prepared for.
