Tottenham target Son Heung-Min heir amid interest from London rivals

Tottenham Hotspur have identified the potential successor to Son Heung-Min, according to a report, and are competing with London rivals for his signing.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly facing stiff competition from their London rivals Crystal Palace in the race to secure the services of LOSC Lille's talented youngster, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson.

The Icelandic attacking midfielder has been making waves in Ligue 1, catching the eye of several top clubs. According to Football Transfers (h/t EPL Index), both Tottenham and Crystal Palace have placed Haraldsson high on their list of transfer priorities.

Dubbed the ‘next Griezmann’ by scouts, Haraldsson's style of play has drawn comparisons to the French superstar due to his intelligent movement, versatility, and knack for linking up play.

His impressive ball control and ability to score and assist make him a natural fit for teams looking to add creativity to their attacking options.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou and Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner are said to be keen on the young talent, with both clubs sending scouts to monitor his progress in recent weeks.

Tottenham's interest in Haraldsson is reportedly seen as part of a long-term strategy to find a successor for Son Heung-Min, whose contract is set to expire in 2025.

The South Korean star has been a key player for Spurs, and securing a player with similar attributes would be crucial to maintaining their attacking threat.

Haraldsson, with his right-footed finesse and ability to dictate the game in tight spaces, appears to fit the bill perfectly.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are eyeing Haraldsson as a potential replacement for Eberechi Eze, who has been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, with Manchester United and Tottenham reportedly showing strong interest.

Despite suffering a recent foot injury, the Icelander's stock continues to rise, with both London clubs eager to bring him into their fold. His performances in France have only strengthened his reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young talents.

While Tottenham and Crystal Palace lead the race for his signature, they are likely to face competition from other European clubs as well.
