Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min's future is becoming a hot topic as the club considers a £15m offer from Major League Soccer (MLS) side Los Angeles FC (LAFC).
The 33-year-old South Korean star is a transfer target for the American team, putting his position in North London into question.
According to SunSport , Tottenham could be willing to accept a fee of between £15m and £20m, with LAFC said to be leading the race to sign Son Heung-min. However, the deal is still dependent on the MLS side agreeing to meet their transfer conditions, as well as Son Heung-min's personal decision. The South Korean is still weighing up his options between leaving or staying with Spurs and fighting for a starting spot under new manager Thomas Frank.
Son Heung-min has now entered into talks with all the relevant parties. But any move is unlikely to happen immediately, as he is likely to feature on Tottenham's pre-season tour of Asia.
Notably, Spurs could suffer a financial loss if they sell Son Heung-min before the match against Newcastle in Seoul on August 3. According to the terms of the tour contract, if Son Heung-min does not play, Tottenham will lose up to 75% of the fee they receive from the organizing partner. In case Son Heung-min travels with the team but does not play, Spurs will still lose half the money.
This is the main reason why Tottenham's board of directors is carefully considering the timing of the decision.
Son Heung-min is an Asian football icon and a hugely popular star in his home country of South Korea and across the continent. Last season, he scored seven goals and provided nine assists in 30 Premier League appearances, becoming the first Spurs captain to lift the trophy since 2008, when he won the title under Ange Postecoglou.
Coach Thomas Frank has spoken out about Son's future and confirmed that he would be happy if the South Korean captain continued to stay. "At the moment, I have a player who is completely dedicated and training very well," he shared. "If a player has been with the club for a long time, the club must also make decisions appropriate to the situation."
In terms of transfers, Spurs have been quite active, successfully recruiting Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, making Mathys Tel's loan deal permanent, and adding young talents such as Kato Takai (Japan) and Luka Vuskovic (Hajduk Split). However, Nottingham Forest's pursuit of Morgan Gibbs-White is currently stalled, after Forest accused Tottenham of "illegal approaches", despite Spurs having triggered a £60 million release clause.
Son Heung-min's future is the focus of media and fans, as Tottenham must balance financial, sporting and global image factors.
