Son Heung-min has refused to be drawn on the subject of Antonio Conte potentially joining Tottenham Hotspur, as quoted in Goal.
The Telegraph has reported that it is only a matter of time before Conte becomes the new manager of Tottenham.
However, South Korea international forward Son has refused to get dragged into the matter.
Son told Goal: “I can’t talk about that subject. Conte doesn’t arrive yet, I have to be careful.
“It’s not confirmed, and I don’t know if Spurs is finding new coach or not. I will do my best in any situation in my position.”
Son does not seem to have an idea if Tottenham will appoint Conte or not.
The South Korea international is not in North London at the moment, as club football is finished for the season.
You would think that Tottenham will inform Son and the rest of the players about their new manager once everything is sorted.
It does look very likely that Conte will be the new manager.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was reportedly keen on bringing back Mauricio Pochettino from Paris Saint-Germain.
However, it now appears that Conte is the main man for Levy.
The Italian recently stepped down from his managerial role at Inter because of disagreements with the club over keeping the team competitive.
Conte led the Nerazzurri to the Serie A title this past season.
The Italian will know all about Son from his managerial spell at Chelsea, and the South Korean forward – who cost Tottenham £22 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, as reported by The Guardian at the time – could flourish under him.
