Football | June 8, 2025 7:39 AM CST

A number of Saudi Pro League clubs would be more than happy to take in the summer transfer window if decide to cash-in on their captain, as the end of his contract nears.

But some fans in football.london are adamant that the club should fight to keep their man. Heung-min has been a fixture at Spurs for the past decade, giving his best years to the club and racking up over 450 appearances for the team.

His displays over these years have seen him hailed as one of the greatest players to have ever come out of the continent of Asia, and he captained the team to the trophy win. The forward was handed a one-year extension this season, which will take him up to the summer of 2026.

At 32-years-old, any move would be the last big one of his career and there are - and his considerable South Korean following - to the Middle East. Some fans reckon he should live out the rest of his best playing days at Spurs - and they want the club to know that.

Reader Demosth says: "Son's stats are still unbelievable. Top in goals and assists, top in big chances created, key passes and add that all the own goals he 'created', one could easily argue for him to be Player of the Season, no matter what some may believe.

"Also, his pressing is second to none. Just watch the games to see that he presses fast and when needed.

"We have got to keep our best and most experienced players. We need them to build further and teach the new generations how club legends are made and what sacrifices are needed. Son is priceless to the club."

HonestTruth10 reckons there is no substitute, adding: "This guy, like Harry [Kane], has been a legend at the club. We've had some world-class players who've left and what a shame they didn't win anything.

"I know Son isn't the Son of old, but I'd love him to stay just for one - possibly two - more seasons. I'll say this, I'd have him over Mathys Tel any day of the week.

"Son is worth more to us than him and would bring more to the team still than the young kid!" Clive Crook writes: "Tottenham must keep Sonny, that's the least they could do for the service he has given to the club... He's so good with everyone at Spurs and the supporters. It will be a very sad day when our golden boy has to leave."

Thebusman agreed: "Keep him as club captain and a squad player, for everything he brings to the club, and the South Korean financial interest as much as anything else." Despite the sentiment towards him, others reckon he should get a move if he wants one.

ABorg wrote: "Reluctantly, I think it's time for Sonny to leave. He'll get a great deal when he signs and, hopefully, we'll get a decent price when he goes too.

"One thing that we must do is see Son off only how Spurs could. We need to show him the love he deserves, we never really got the chance to see off Harry the way we would have liked, so we mustn't make that same mistake again. He deserves at least that."

Usfan continued this opinion, writing: "Holding on to Son, as unfortunate as it is, does no good to the team, and that doesn't make any sense. It was very obvious this past season that he's not the player he used to be.

"There is not much left in the tank. If a decent offer comes from the Saudis - and he has no objection to moving there - then it's time to cash-in.

"Again, only if he agrees to it, because, as it has been mentioned here, he deserves to choose his own path - he earned it." Spurstick adds: "For £50m, Son can leave. He has offered so much for Spurs already, let him leave as a legend gracefully."

Have your say! What does Son offer to Spurs that nobody else can? .
