Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Tottenham Hotspur’s South Korean star.
Tottenham Hotspur winger Heung-Min Son emerged this week as a surprise transfer target for French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The London Evening Standard report the South Korean international is on PSG’s list of potential signings, and a bid could certainly provide Tottenham with a dilemma.
Son, 24, is into his second season at Tottenham, but his spell at the club has been racked by inconsistency.

Tottenham spent £21.9 million to sign Son from Bayer Leverkusen a year ago, and if PSG offered a fee which would enable the North London side to make a profit, then they would have to consider it.
The attacking midfielder had a storming start to this season, as he did his Spurs career, but as with 2014/15, he has trailed off badly.
Son has only one goal and assist each in his last 10 appearances, which came in a walkover of a win against relegated Swansea.

Last season he struggled to hold down a regular first team spot and the London Evening Standard reported how Spurs considered his future in the summer.
The hope has to be that Son can develop his early season form, in which he scored five goals in five games, and start becoming a more consistent performer.
He deserves until the end of the season to show more of what he can do, but if his second half of the campaign is like the last few weeks, then Tottenham should consider taking the money next summer if the French giants come calling.
