This might be a major blow…
Tottenham Hotspur, which lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer, could avoid losing another great player this summer. However, rumors indicate that scenario is now a reality, with Saudi Arabian clubs preparing to make contact about one specific player.

However, another important departure might rapidly derail any gains achieved in North London this season. Instead, the emphasis must be on incomings and who can help the Lilywhites make that critical step back into the Premier League’s top four. Spurs had already been connected with offers for Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of the summer, so that appears to be the idea.
Saudis are unlikely to be hesitant when it comes to splurging the cash for Son’s signing, as a number of players have made big-money moves in recent years.
Spurs must maintain “outstanding” status. Despite being 31 years old, Son has demonstrated exceptional performance at this level. The South Korean has 12 goals and six assists this season and will undoubtedly contribute to Tottenham‘s top-four ambitions.
Postecoglou is also aware of that quality, applauding his skipper and saying:
In terms of leadership in North London, losing two captains in two seasons would not be a good position for Postecoglou, emphasising the importance of retaining Son.
When the summer transfer window opens, Spurs must merely hope that Son avoids the temptation to become the latest star to leave for Saudi Arabia and instead remains in North London as part of Postecoglou’s strategy. It might be a stressful summer for the Lilywhites as they face yet another potential important departure.
