The Tottenham Hotspur forward has impressed this season, but is still not a first team regular.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min in action
Spurs forward Heung-min Son is a summer transfer target for Inter Milan and Sevilla, according to the Evening Standard, with both clubs’ interest thought to have come about through the South Korean’s failure to nail down a regular starting spot at White Hart Lane over the past two seasons.
The 24-year-old will surely have an increased role to play within the Tottenham team over the next month or so, however, with Harry Kane set for a prolonged period on the sidelines due to an ankle injury.
Since making his £18 million move from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015, Son has played 51 Premier League games for Spurs.
Only 27 over those appearances have been starts, however, and when Mauricio Pochettino has a full compliment of players to choose from, he arguably will not feature in the starting XI.
And the Evening Standard claim that Inter and Sevilla will look to take advantage of that situation in the summer.
They do go on to state that the La Liga outfit would be interested in a loan deal initially, whilst the Italians would only move if Ivan Perisic leaves the San Siro in the summer.
The majority of Tottenham fans would surely prefer to see Son remain at the club though.
The South Korean has garnered somewhat of a cult following during his time in north London, with his fine performances and happy-go-lucky demeanour, and if he continues in that vein it will be hard to imagine him leaving.
