Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has been the subject of plenty of debate over the past couple of weeks.
The 32-year-old’s loyalty to the club paid off when Tottenham won the Europa League final against Manchester United last month, which was his first piece of silverware since moving to North London from Bayer Leverkusen in 2013.
Since making the move from Germany, Heung-min Son has cemented his legacy as a club legend and a spot firmly in the record books. The South Korea captain has the most assists for Tottenham of all time and also sits in sixth place for the most Spurs appearances in history.
Son was delighted when he addressed the fans at the Europa League celebration parade outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and admitted he was proud of the group who lifted the trophy in Bilbao.
The celebratory scenes have not lasted long after Tottenham sacked Ange Postecoglou as manager on Friday, which left Son praising his former manager on social media following his dismissal.
Heung-min Son’s future at Tottenham is unclear
Rumours have been surfacing of interest in Son from Saudi Arabia this summer which coincides with the club looking to generate transfer funds to reshape the Tottenham first-team squad ahead of their return to the Champions League.
Tottenham are not in a rush to sell Son despite Saudi interest with Paul O’Keefe revealing that any exit would be down to the captain to decide his future.

Son answers question on if he will stay at Tottenham
Son is currently on international duty with South Korea and came off the bench in the 75th minute of their 4-0 win over Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier.
Following the match at Seoul World Cup Stadium, Son was asked for an answer on his future at Tottenham amid the circulating reports and refused to rule out leaving the club this summer.
He told Yonhap News Agency: “I still have one more year left on the contract.
“Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens. But no matter where I end up, I will always do the best I can. It will never change.”
Regardless of what Son decides this summer, he has already cemented his place as a legend of the club with the Europa League victory gaining him the trophy he deserved for his steadfast loyalty, while others such as Harry Kane sought a transfer away from N17.
