Stan Collymore has suggested in CaughtOffSide that Bayern Munich could be able to sign Son Heung-min from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window for £35 million.
The former Liverpool striker believes that Son could leave Tottenham at the end of the season.
Collymore thinks that the 30-year-old South Korea international forward could return to Germany.
Son joined Tottenham from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015.
Stan Collymore on Son Heung-min’s Tottenham Hotspur future
Collymore wrote: “On the subject of Son – he came to the Premier League from Germany and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up back there.
“I know Bayern Munich have Sadio Mane, who obviously plays in the same position, but with just two years left on Son’s deal, it’s unlikely Spurs would let him go for free, and at the age of 31 come the summer, it’s a given they’re not going to be able to demand £70m plus, so for a fee half that, you’d think Bayern would at least enquire.
“France is another league I could see him going to. I’m sure Paris Saint-Germain would take him. He’s a Premier League-proven quality player who has a great reputation for being a good professional.
“He never causes any trouble and he’s a huge star in Asia, so he would certainly tick a lot of boxes.
“If he did leave Spurs, I couldn’t really imagine him staying in the Premier League.
“I’m not sure he feels he has anything left to prove to England and although he’d want trophies, the same as every player, you’d think it’s very unlikely that Man United and Man City would move for him considering how many wide-men they both already have on their books, and obviously given the rivalry Chelsea and Arsenal both have with Spurs, a move to either of those is probably out of the question too.”
Should Tottenham Hotspur sell Son Heung-min?
You know what? It would not be a bad idea for Tottenham Hotspur to actually explore the possibility of selling Son Heung-min at the end of the season for a good fee.
Yes, we know that Son is a very good player and is very important for Tottenham.
The 30-year-old also has a very good partnership with Harry Kane on the pitch.
However, Son has not been in great form so far this season.
And he is 30 now.
And Tottenham have other attacking options.
So, selling Son for a good transfer fee at the end of the season may not be that bad an idea, especially if Spurs are able to finish in the Premier League top four.
Son has scored only four goals and given just three assists in 20 Premier League starts for Spurs so far this season.
