Son Heung-min could leave Tottenham this summer and is a target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League, according to various reports in the British media.

Having failed to land No 1 target Bruno Fernandes, Al-Hilal remain in the market for attacking players and would likely be among the front runners to sign the South Korea captain.

The Telegraph report Son is of interest to clubs in the Saudi Pro League, while PA suggested Spurs would only allow their skipper to leave should they receive a significant fee.

Son was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia two years ago but rejected advances to stick around for the start of Ange Postecoglou’s tenure.

Postecoglou subsequently named Son as Spurs captain and last month the South Korean forward led the team to Europa League success to claim his first piece of silverware with the club.

Speculation over Son’s future has been rife during his 10th season at Tottenham and whilst the club triggered a 12-month option in his deal in January, he is set to enter the final year of his contract in July.
