South Korea's national soccer team and Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min declined to talk about his future.

However, he did not virtually exclude the possibility of a transfer to a Saudi Arabian club, which was recently raised by the British media, by answering in a way that all possibilities were open.

Son Heung-min spoke about his future at Tottenham in the joint coverage area (Mix Zone) of the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th.
Son played the final Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup (co-hosted by Canada, the U.S., and Mexico) against Kuwait at Seoul World Cup Stadium. The match ended with South Korea's 4-0 complete victory.

Son Heung-min, who still had the aftermath of his foot injury, was included in the bench list on the day, and he came in as a substitute in the second half and played a short time.
Son Heung-min, who led Korea to 11 consecutive World Cup finals as the captain of the South Korean national soccer team, appeared in the mixed zone after the match against Kuwait and conducted an interview.

At this time, Son Heung-min was asked about his future.

Son Heung-min, who has played for Tottenham since 2015, will expire in June 2026. Originally, the contract term expired in June, but the contract period was extended until June next year as Tottenham exercised the option to extend it by one year. Tottenham is also revealing the possibility of selling Son Heung-min for a transfer fee this summer by using the contract extension. As a result, there are constant claims that Son Heung-min may leave for Saudi Arabia and other countries this summer.

Numerous leading British newspapers mentioned Son Heung-min's transfer to Saudi Arabia. British public broadcaster "BBC" said on the 4th that "Tottenham will only accept a considerable amount of offers for Son Heung-min."
"Tottenham will allow captain Son Heung-min to transfer only when a team that pays a significant transfer fee appears this summer," the media said. "Son Heung-min is in the last year of his contract, and interest in the striker of the Saudi professional league, which was rumored to be a transfer two years ago, is rising again."

"Son Heung-min defeated Manchester United in the Europa League final last month and advanced to the Champions League next season, leading Tottenham to its first European competition trophy in 40 years," he added. "However, due to injury, he scored only 11 goals, the lowest score since his debut season."

"Son Heung-min, who has achieved his ambition to lift the trophy at Tottenham, may leave the club he has faithfully served for the past decade," the British leading newspaper "The Guardian" said. "He is no longer Tottenham's mainstay in the first team and is reportedly attracting attention from various clubs in the Saudi professional league."

In particular, the possibility that Son Heung-min will leave as a team with guaranteed opportunities to play before the World Cup cannot be ignored as the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup will be held a year later.
Son Heung-min has scored 11 goals and 12 assists in all competitions this season, with only seven goals and 10 assists in the Primia League.

Son Heung-min scored 17 offensive points, but failed to achieve double-digit goals for the first time since Tottenham's debut season in 2015-16, when he scored four league goals and one assist.

Some argue that Son Heung-min has entered a downward trend as he turns 33 this year, although he has missed the game due to injuries and has had difficulty in showing 100% of his performance. As a result, Tottenham may not be able to guarantee Son Heung-min's starting position next season.

While many fans are paying attention to Son's future, when asked if he will stay at Tottenham next season in the mixed zone, Son said, "I think it's better to wait than say anything here because there's still a contract period left."
He explained, "I'm also quite curious, so I think it's better to wait and see what happens rather than thinking about the future." 온라인카지노

"Wherever I am, I think I have to do well because I am a player who has always done my best and tried," he added.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are reportedly open to cashing in on Son this summer but are not planning to accept the offer unless it is the amount they want.
"Tottenham is willing to negotiate the sale of Son Heung-min, but it has offered strict conditions of at least 50 million pounds (about 92.1 billion won) to allow the player to leave the next transfer market," Arab media Alamyadi explained about Son Heung-min's ransom that Tottenham wants.

Former Tottenham scout Brian King also claimed in February, "Son Heung-min's contract is a year away, and he is in his early 30s. I think Tottenham will want at least £50 million to sell him."
