Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich reportedly want to bring Heung-Min Son back to Germany from Premier League outfit Spurs.
Aged 35 and 34 and with their contracts due to expire next summer, Bayern Munich will be acutely aware that the evergreen duo of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben cannot go on defying time forever.
So it would make perfect sense for the Bundesliga champions to express and interest in Heung-Min Son, a jet-heeled winger with an excellent goalscoring record who has shone in Germany during spells at Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
Calciomercato claims that Bayern want to sign the 26-year-old, who scored as South Korea stunned Germany 2-0 in the World Cup group stages.
But they surely face a massive challenge tempting Tottenham into a sale. Son has developed into one of the most important players in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad and not just because he’s scored 39 goals in the last two seasons.
Attackers with Son’s skillset are few and far between and there is no one remotely similar to him in Spurs’ squad. And chairman Daniel Levy has shown a desire to keep Tottenham’s squad intact in recent years with Son, who is contracted until 2023, one of many key players to have been issued with new deals.
So it seems that the majority of Spurs fans are quietly confident – even if Bayern is surely a temptation.
