Amid predictions that Son Heung-min will stay at Tottenham, there are some opinions that it will not be a surprise even if he leaves the team.

The British Spurs Web quoted Alessdair Gold, a reporter familiar with Tottenham's news, saying on the 17th (Korea time) that `Son Heung-min is likely to stay at Tottenham, but I will not be surprised if Son Heung-min, the Tottenham captain, leaves this summer.'

Son Heung-min has been steadily rumored to be transferred to the Saudi Arabian League. There was a story that Tottenham could make a profit by transferring Son Heung-min if a large offer came from the Middle East.

Son Heung-min's recent remarks are also interested in the region. This is because he has not completely ruled out the possibility of leaving Tottenham this summer.

Some say Son Heung-min is likely to seriously consider moving to the Saudi league next summer. He wants to play for Tottenham for another season.

Allesdare Gold noted that Son Heung-min has been holding the trophy in several interviews as a reason for remaining at Tottenham.

Gold predicted that Son Heung-min may now leave Tottenham for the Middle East, as he actually lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy and left his name in club history.

Gold said "Son set a goal and achieved it, and devoted himself to the club for 10 years. It is worth noting his remarks to the Korean media ahead of the final"And in a later interview with the British media, he said, "I stayed in this club to lift the trophy"."

Gold also said "In that sense, it can be interpreted that if he won the trophy, he may now look at other opportunities."In fact, Son Heung-min won the trophy, and this is my judgment that this is the most open time to transfer."

"Of course, the Saudi professional league and some clubs will be very interested in recruiting Son Heung-min. They are very active in targeting the Asian market, and Son Heung-min is a very influential player in that market. Of course, he is a world-class player in terms of his skills."

Before deciding on his future, Son will meet with newly appointed Tottenham manager Thomas Frank to discuss the team's management direction he envisions.

Earlier, English Football Insider claimed that `Son Heung-min is ready to play for Tottenham under Frank and thinks he can still contribute to the club.'

However, at the same time, the media added that Son Heung-min is also open to leaving Tottenham and is likely to receive a lot of attention from Europe and Saudi Arabia.
