Heung-min Son not interested in Saudi Arabia transfer with Tottenham braced for £50m bid
Spurs would not entertain any offers for the South Korea forward as Al-Ittihad seek to partner him with Karim Benzema up front
eung-min Son is reluctant to move to Saudi Arabia, amid reported interest from Al-Ittihad in the Tottenham forward.
Al-Ittihad have already signed former Real Madrid captain Karim Benzema on a free transfer this summer and are on the brink of sealing a huge deal for Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante, as part of a drive from top Saudi clubs to recruit some of the biggest stars from European football.
They are now said to be preparing a bid worth over £50million for Son, although Spurs would not be interested in considering any approach for the forward.
The South Korean, who turns 31 next month, is not thought to be interested in a move to the Gulf at this stage of his career, despite Al-Ittihad reportedly being willing to offer him a long-term deal worth in the region of £25m per season.
