Heung-Min Son has been linked with an exit from Tottenham.

News emerged this week that Wolfsburg are keen on signing Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-Min Son, with Kicker reporting the Bundesliga side have a long term interest in the forward.
The South Korean had a mixed first season at the club and The Mirror report Spurs are open to offers.
If Son was to be sold, here is a look at three players who could benefit from his departure.
Nacer Chadli

Belgian winger Nacer Chadli has been touted for a potential exit this summer too, but Son leaving could prolong his spell at White Hart Lane.
Chadli struggled for game time towards the end of last season, but would be the most senior player in the squad in line to benefit from Son’s exit, with a raft of younger options below him, if he can make his experience count.
At this late stage of the window Spurs may not be able to bring in a big name replacement, giving Chadli a more prominent role than he could have expected.
Marcus Edwards

Son leaving could provide a quicker path to the first team to teenage wonderkid Marcus Edwards.
Edwards impressed in pre-season against Juventus and is the most highly rated player in the club’s academy.
He scored twice in an under-23 game this week and his promise could persuade Spurs to fast-track him, and fill Son’s spot.
Georges-Kevin N’Koudou/Clinton N’Jie

It is unclear which of these two players will be at Tottenham next season as negotiations with Marseille drag on, but it appears unlikely both of them will.
The duo can each play in wide attacking positions like Son, and could benefit from a decrease in competition brought about by Son’s sale.
