Paul Robinson has now offered a reason why Tottenham might not sell Heung-min Son to a Saudi Pro League club this summer and may instead offer their captain a contract extension.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tottenham have sacked their Europa League<\/a>-winning head coach and they may also soon part ways with their captain, who proudly hoisted the trophy aloft in Bilbao.<\/p>\n

Son has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia<\/a>, with reports indicating that the Lilywhites may cash in on the 32-year-old if a big-money offer arrives from the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The South Korean\u2019s recent comments have added further fuel to the speculation, with Son refusing to rule out a Tottenham exit this summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Heung-min(Credit: @thefrederikkejensen \/ Instagram)Paul Robinson does not think Tottenham will benefit from Heung-min Son\u2019s sale<\/p>\n

While getting a big fee for a player who will turn 33 next month would be tempting for Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, Paul Robinson pointed out that Saudi clubs are not as willing to throw huge money at older superstars as they once were.<\/p>\n

The former Spurs number one suggested that if the Lilywhites are only able to get a modest transfer fee for their captain, they will get more value from keeping him around in the squad as they embark on a new era.<\/p>\n

When asked about the speculation over Son\u2019s future, Robinson told Football Insider<\/a>: \u201cI think with Tottenham and the Saudi Pro League, I\u2019m not so sure they\u2019d necessarily get the offer that they would want with Son coming into the last year of his contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saudi Pro League, the recruitment has been excellent in the last 12 months, and they\u2019re looking at younger players a lot. \u201cThe South American market is utilised, and it\u2019s not a retirement home for ex-Premier League stars who are trying to cash in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat league\u2019s getting better, it\u2019s getting stronger. So, for Tottenham to cash in on Son<\/a>, it would be unwise. You look at the value that he brings to the squad, you look at the value that he has in the dressing room, and his reputation among the players, his relationship with the supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother big thing with him is the commercial value as well, he\u2019s got his own individual commercial value as an international player, he\u2019s huge to Tottenham and the support that they\u2019ve got there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for what they would get for him, with 12 months left on his contract<\/a>, to keep somebody like him around in a Champions League<\/a> campaign, while trying to compete domestically as well, whilst also trying to restructure a squad to have some kind of stability in there who knows the club and the relationship that they\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, there\u2019s always a big enough fee that will turn Tottenham\u2019s head. But I think when you\u2019ve got to weigh up the commercial value and what he brings for the next 12 months to the squad, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he extends for another year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Son is prepared to work with Thomas Frank<\/p>\n

Thomas Frank\u2019s arrival at Tottenham is now confirmed and he will be accompanied to Spurs by three members of his staff at Brentford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was reported by TBR Football this week that Son is open to working with Frank at Tottenham<\/a> as the forward believes that he still has a lot to offer the Lilywhites.<\/p>\n

The outlet explained that the South Korean is also open to an exit, with a decision expected on his future once he has met with the Danish coach.<\/p>\n
