'Tottenham Captain' Rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to LA are pouring out every day.
On the 25th (Korea time), a series of media outlets, including Britain's The Sun and The Mirror, once again nailed, saying, `Tottenham is considering a £15 million (about 27.8 billion won) transfer offer for Son Heung-min of LAFC.'"Tottenham is considering a £15 million transfer offer for captain Son Heung-min, and the future of South Korean star Son Heung-min at Tottenham has become uncertain, and he is currently a target for LAFC," Der Sun wrote.
Since Thomas Frank's appointment, Tottenham have been actively moving in the summer transfer market. West Ham striker Mohamed Kudus has been quickly recruited and is also interested in Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White. Son Heung-min, 33, is likely to leave the team, with Tottenham ready to accept a transfer offer of between £15 million and £20 million, The Sun reports. With Europa League winner Tottenham having to secure a squad for the European Champions League, whether or not to transfer to MLS has emerged as a hot concern for fans.
There is a possibility that Son Heung-min will keep his position at Tottenham and compete, Der Sun said, leaving room. Son Heung-min is participating in the transfer discussion with all parties, adding that the transfer is unlikely to take place immediately, and Son is likely to remain at Tottenham during the pre-season tour in Asia. Tottenham are scheduled for a pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul on Aug. 3 after playing Arsenal's North London derby in Hong Kong. The Sun also specified the terms of the Asian Tour promoter's contract to secure Son's participation, saying, `South Korea's national team Son Heung-min is very popular in South Korea and across Asia.' If Tottenham sells Son Heung-min before the Asian Tour against Newcastle, it will lose up to 75% of the amount it can receive for Son's participation fee. Son Heung-min is designated as a 'key player' in the tour contract and if he travels with the squad but does not play, Tottenham will not receive 50% of the fee.

Son Heung-min, who moved from Leverkusen to Tottenham in 2015, wore the captain's armband last season under the absolute confidence of coach Angie Postecoglou, scoring seven goals and nine assists in 30 Premier League matches. He created 50 chances, recorded 26 shots on goal and 833 passes. Tottenham suffered a shocking slump, falling to 17th place in the league, but it finally won the Europa League, making Son Heung-min the first player to lift the trophy as captain since Ledley King in 2008.
On the other hand, Coach Frank said of Son's future ahead of the pre-season tour, `If Son decides to stay in the team, he will happily accept it.' "The current player is fully committed and training well. There is a situation where the team always has to make decisions about players who have been on the team for a long timeHe also had the possibility of a transfer in mind. Tottenham signed Japanese Takai Kato along with Kudus and confirmed Matistel's full recruitment from Bayern Munich early on. Morgan Gibbs-White's recruitment is currently stalled. Despite Tottenham invoking a £60m buyout clause, Forest are blocking the transfer, claiming Tottenham's approach is 'illegal'.
