Captain refuses to rule out Tottenham exit after reported interest from Saudi clubs
-
SEOUL - Son Heung-min has cast doubt on his Tottenham Hotspur future after saying he will "wait and see" what happens amid speculation the skipper could move to Saudi Arabia.
The South Korean forward has a year left on his contract and has been linked with an exit after helping Spurs end their 17-year trophy drought.
"Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens," the 32-year-old told reporters after South Korea's 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Kuwait on June 10.
"But no matter where I end up, I will always do the best I can. It will never change."
Son lifted the Europa League trophy in May to claim his first piece of silverware with Tottenham after helping his team beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao.
Despite the victory, Spurs have since fired manager Ange Postecoglou following a dismal Premier League campaign that saw them finish one place above the relegation zone.
Son came under pressure after a series of underwhelming displays but he vowed to come back stronger next season, wherever he is playing.
