Could Heung-min Son be next?
The South Korean has been linked with a move to Schalke this week, as reports claim he could be heading back to German football after struggling to settle in at Tottenham.

Son was a hit in the Bundesliga with Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen but has struggled for his best form at Spurs, which has seen him linked with Schalke and Wolfsburg this week.
But Schalke’s sporting director has confirmed that his club are not interested in the Tottenham attacker at this time.
Christian Heidel told a press conference today:
“Heung-min Son is an outstanding footballer, we know this from Hamburg SV and Leverkusen.
“But he has nothing to do with Schalke 04.”

Despite being linked with a move away it would seem unlikely that Tottenham will be selling Son already. He has only had one season at the club and clearly has the talent to succeed in North London. A little bit of patience could go a long way with Son.
If he can come into the team, after being away for the Olympics with South Korea, after the international break then Spurs will hope he shows more of what he is capable of at White Hart Lane.
