Tottenham superstar attracting interest from Saudi Arabia
By Tom Vinall
According to Fichajes.com, Saudi Pro League sides are weighing up a move for Spurs captain Heung Min-Son for next summer.
They state that the 32-year-old is one of five high-profile names on Saudi Arabian clubs' wishlists, as they look to further improve the league.
The last couple of years have seen several high-profile names join the Saudi Pro League, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Neymar.
This would not be the first time that clubs from Saudi Arabia have come sniffing to N17, with Richarlison turning down a move there earlier this summer, as the Brazilian forward suggested his love for football outweighed his love for money.
The report suggests that Saudi Arabia are eyeing a move for Son on a free transfer, but the club have an option to extend his contract by a year until 2026 - so you cannot picture Spurs allowing him to go for free.

However, with Son turning 33 next summer, should a lucrative offer from a Saudi Pro League side come in, particularly one of the four PIF-owned clubs - Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, Spurs would have a decision to consider.
Even then, though, it would still have to be something crazy. Despite the Spurs number 7 being into his thirties, you cannot put a price on his love for the club and the fans, as well as his leadership. That too, his performances are still more consistent than people give him credit for, with 17 Premier League goals last time out and already two in the first three this season.
Son does not feel like a player whose primary motivation is money, especially with the amount he will have already made during his fourteen-year senior career so far, but an unprecedented, tax-free offer as well as living closer to home could tempt him. For now, let's hope nothing comes of this.
