Juventus are reportedly keen on Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min.
According to The Express, Juventus are keen to snap up Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min, with Maurizio Sarri eyeing up a move.
Son, 27, may have struggled in his first season with Spurs but is now one of the most popular Spurs players, having enjoyed three great seasons with the club.
The South Korean hit 20 goals and 10 assists last season, whilst he’s been one of the few players this term to turn in consistently impressive displays despite a disappointing start for Spurs.
Now, it’s believed that Juventus boss Sarri – a former Spurs rival having managed Chelsea last season – wants to lure Son to Italy, challenging Napoli for him.
Tottenham surely won’t entertain offers for Son, and with more than four years left on his £140,000-a-week contract (Spotrac), a move seems unlikely.
Boss Mauricio Pochettino knows how important Son is, and told the Daily Mail over the summer that he thinks the forward’s adaptation and progress with Spurs has been ‘unbelievable’ after that difficult 2015-16 season.
Selling Son would be one of the most unpopular moves the club could make right now, and with Daniel Levy in a great position given that contract, Sarri will surely be told to move on and not come back.
