Even though reports over recent days have indicated that Heung-min Son might be leaning towards staying at Tottenham, Alasdair Gold has revealed why he would not be surprised if the Spurs captain departed this summer.<\/strong><\/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\u00a0Heung-min Son refusing to rule out a Tottenham exit this summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it was reported by Football Asian a few days ago that Son is more likely to consider a move to Saudi Arabia next summer<\/a>, and would ideally like to remain at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> for one more season.<\/p>\n

\"Heung-min(Credit @thefrederikkejensen \/ Instagram)Alasdair Gold claims Heung-min Son could leave Tottenham on a high<\/p>\n

Gold has now pointed to the numerous interviews that Heung-min Son gave, suggesting that he had stayed at Tottenham to win silverware with the club.<\/p>\n

Now that he has done that and written his name into the club\u2019s history books, the journalist said that he can see the 32-year-old calling time on his time in North London and heading to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Gold said on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast: \u201cHeung-min Son set out to achieve something and he achieved it, and he\u2019s been there for 10 years. I think it\u2019s quite important to look at some of the quotes that came out ahead of the final, where he made it very clear to the Korean media. Then I think after that to some English media that he admitted, I pretty much stayed at this club because I wanted to win a trophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you can kind of analyse that as if to say that had he won a trophy, maybe he would have looked at opportunities that came in. And now Son<\/a> has won that trophy. And that\u2019s what I understand, is that this summer is definitely the most open he\u2019s been to getting a move if it\u2019s one that suits all parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, the Saudi Pro League, the clubs there, I think, would be very, very interested in taking him, some of them, because that\u2019s a big thing for them to harness the Asian market. We know how huge he is within. And of course, he is also a terrific player. He is a superstar player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Son\u2019s decision will be made after he meets with Thomas Frank<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Son will meet with Thomas Frank to discuss the Dane\u2019s plans before deciding his future<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was claimed by Football Insider last week that Heung-min Son is ready to work under Frank at Tottenham<\/a> as the forward feels that he still has a lot to offer the club.<\/p>\n

However, the outlet claimed that the 32-year-old is also prepared for the possibility of leaving Spurs<\/a> and is likely to have no shortage of interest from Europe or Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
