Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in one of Tottenham Hotspur’s star men.

PSG are considering a January bid for Spurs forward Son Heung-min, according to the Evening Standard.

The South Korean has impressed so far this season, especially during the absence of Harry Kane, and has registered five goals and three assists in 14 Premier League appearances for Tottenham this term.

And now the Evening Standard are reporting that the French giants have drawn up a list of potential signings in January that includes the 24-year-old Spurs attacker.

Despite taking his time to settle down at White Hart Lane, Son has proven to be a real asset to Maurico Pochettino’s side, and it is highly unlikely that the Lilywhites will consider selling him in January, unless of course they have a ready-made replacement lined up.

The north London outfit have been linked with moves for some of Europe’s brightest attacking talents, including Isco (the Express), and Maximilian Meyer (the Sun).

It is debatable, however, whether either of those two would represent an upgrade on Son.

Tottenham have been criticised for having a lack of squad depth already this season, so selling one of their key players in January would seem to make little sense.
