Tottenham Hotspur ace Son Heung-min is being lined up for a big 2024 move to Saudi Arabia, possibly following Hugo Lloris.
Son Heung-min is being lined up as another addition to Saudi Arabian football – but only in the summer of 2024.
That is according to CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs, who claims that Saudi Arabia are targeting Tottenham ace Son.
The process appears to be that Son would be targeted by the Saudi Pro League and then his club would be decided after that.
Saudi Arabian football is making huge headlines at the moment with Karim Benzema on his way to Al-Ittihad.
It looks like N’Golo Kante will be joining Benzema there whilst Cristiano Ronaldo already plays for Al-Nassr.
You can expect to hear more and more rumours surrounding big names potentially heading to Saudi Arabia in the near future.
Plans are already in place for Son to potentially join with Jacobs claiming that there is ‘legwork already underway’ for a deal.
Son still has two years left on his deal but a departure may be in mind after a difficult season.
Son Heung-min could follow Hugo Lloris
The South Korean has been an absolute superstar since joining Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.
Son put a tricky first season behind him and has now racked up a ridiculous 145 goals and 80 assists in 372 games for Spurs.
10 Premier League goals this season wasn’t really Son’s best – especially just a year after sharing the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah.
Now 30, some may wonder if Son is starting to come to the end of his elite play and a drop-off could be coming.
Riches in Saudi Arabia may appeal and Son could end up following Hugo Lloris to the Middle East.
Tottenham captain Lloris is wanted in Saudi Arabia too with The Athletic claiming that he has been given the chance to triple his money there.
If Lloris goes this summer, maybe Son will be tempted to join him there in a year’s time – and both departures would really signal a new era for Tottenham.
