Heung-min Son insists money ‘doesn’t matter’ as Tottenham star dismisses rumours of Saudi Arabia move
Al-Ittihad are reportedly keen to sign the Spurs forward for a fee in the region of £50million
eung-min Son has dismissed talk of him making a surprise move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
It has been reported that Al-Ittihad are preparing to offer the forward a long-term deal worth £25m-a-year, as they look to bolster their squad yet further following the signing of Karim Benzema and the expected arrival of N’Golo Kante.
Chelsea trio Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and Hakim Ziyech have all been linked with transfers to Saudi too in the coming weeks too, along with the likes of Ruben Neves and Bernardo Silva.
However, while Al-Ittihad are supposedly readying a £50m bid for Son, Tottenham have no interest in selling the forward as they prepare for a first pre-season under new boss Ange Postecoglou.
Speaking while on international duty with South Korea after a draw with El Salvador, Son responded to the speculation over his future and shut down the suggestion that a huge financial offer could tempt him to become the latest high-profile player to join a Saudi club.
“I have many things to do in the Premier League,” Son said.
