Bundesliga champions Bayern need to replace Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery and Spurs’ Premier League star Heung-Min Son could be that man.

Heung-Min Son of Spurs celebrates his teams goal during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United at Wembley Stadium on January 4, 2018 in London, England.

Heung-Min Son might have blossomed at Tottenham but he made his name in the Bundesliga.

The South Korean star emerged through the ranks at Hamburg before shining in two years at Bayer Leverkusen, earning that £22 million move to North London in 2015. And reports in Italy suggest that a return to Germany could be on the cards.

Calciomercato claim that Bayern Munich are interested in offering Son a route back to the Bundesliga after a couple of standout seasons at Tottenham Hotspur.

The 26-year-old has developed into a key player for Mauricio Pochettino, his speed and directness giving Spurs something different in attack. Son has added goals to his game too, netting 21 in 2016/17 and a further 18 last season.

So you would imagine that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has no interest in letting Son go, particularly as he signed a new contract until 2023 as recently as June.

Bayern, however, are in need of a winger to take over from the veteran duo Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, who are both set to end their long stays at the Allianz Arena next summer as things stand.
