Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min responds to speculation surrounding his future amid interest from the Saudi Pro League.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has refused to offer any guarantees over his future with the North London club. 

Son has spent the last 10 years with Spurs, but it is unclear whether he will still be with the club for the 2025-26 campaign.

The 32-year-old is set to enter the final 12 months of his contract and is said to be attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League.

It has been claimed that Spurs will only sanction Son's departure if they receive 'significant' offers in the summer transfer window.

Son makes Tottenham future admission

Son has just completed his final obligations of the 2024-25 campaign after he featured as a substitute in South Korea's 4-0 win over Kuwait on Tuesday, with the result securing qualification for next year's World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. 

Speaking after the victory in Seoul, the experienced winger was unable to offer any guarantees about his Tottenham future. 

"I still have one more year left on the contract," Son told reporters. "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."

Son comments on underwhelming form

The South Korea international lifted the first trophy of his club career when Spurs lifted the Europa League in Bilbao last month.

While the campaign finished on a high, Son experienced a difficult season on a personal level, struggling with injury and form during the 2024-25 campaign.

Son scored seven goals in 30 Premier League appearances, falling considerably short of his 17-goal league tally from the 2023-24 season.

While he acknowledges it was not his best season, Son still insists that the 2024-25 campaign will live long in the memory courtesy of Tottenham's Europa League triumph.

"I know people may say I had a disappointing year, but personally, this was a special season because you play football to win, and only winners are remembered," Son said

"I wasn't in my best form for most of the season, but hopefully, I will be in better condition going into the new season."

If Son remains with Spurs, he will likely get the chance to play under Thomas Frank, who is set to be appointed as Ange Postecoglou's successor.
