CalcioMercato report that Bayern Munich are considering a move to sign Tottenham star Son Heung-min, amid plenty of rumours that the German champions also want Harry Kane – with previous reports saying Son is ‘planning’ to go.
Son, 30, is currently sidelined after undergoing surgery under his left eye – following a challenge during the 2-1 win over Marseille in France. The South Korea skipper is expected to be a part of his country’s side in the World Cup.
Sky Germany report that Bayern will make a move for England captain Kane if he does not sign a new deal. The Standard say Kane has put contract talks on hold until after the World Cup – with his current deal ending in 2024.
But Bayern are not only after Kane. Indeed, the latest report claims that Son is also a target for Bayern. It comes after reports from Sport1 that Son is ‘planning’ for his exit at Spurs – with Real Madrid among the clubs interested.
Bayern considering Tottenham star Son, as well as Kane
Tottenham need to keep Son. He might have had a tricky first half to the campaign, and his workload is only going to increase in Qatar. But the South Korea ace remains absolutely pivotal to Spurs – his 23 League goals proof last term.
It is a slightly different situation to Kane. Son has a contract until June 2025, while Kane’s future is more up in the air. Tottenham’s focus will be on keeping Kane and extending his deal, but it might be that Son is next in line.
Of course, both players will be much more tempted to stay at Spurs if Antonio Conte signs a new contract and even more so, if Spurs can win a trophy come the end of the current campaign. Bayern will prove tempting for both, though.
