Report: Tottenham slash first-team star’s asking price amid exit rumors

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

Initially, Tottenham were holding out for a fee of around £35 million for the South Korean International, but a report from GMS claims that they are now prepared to let him leave for just £20 million.

Son has been a key player

Son has been an outstanding performer for Tottenham since joining the club, and he will undoubtedly go down as a club legend. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to let him move on. He has attracted attention from the MLS and Saudi Arabia. He is a top-class player, and it is no surprise that clubs from abroad are keen on him.

The player is in the twilight stages of his career, and this could be the right time for him to try out a new challenge. He has proven himself in England and helped Tottenham end their wait for a trophy as well. He might feel that this is the right time for him to move on. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

Can Tottenham replace Son Heung-min?

He has been an indispensable asset for Tottenham over the years, and they will need to replace him adequately if he moves on. £20 million is the reasonable asking price for a player of his quality and experience. Whoever ends up signing him this summer could have a bargain on their hands.

Meanwhile, Tottenham looked mediocre in the attack at times last season. If they end up sanctioning the departure of the South Korean, they will need to replace him adequately. They should look to invest in a dynamic attacker who is capable of slotting anywhere across the front three.
