Tottenham Hotspur are set for a major squad overhaul in the summer transfer window, and according to an exclusive report from GMS, chairman Daniel Levy is planning to cash in on Heung-Min Son.
Son has become a club icon during his decade-long stay at Spurs, but it appears the club is preparing for a future without the South Korean international. The 32-year-old recently signed a contract extension until 2026, and his current market value stands at €38 million. Earning around €228,000 per week, Son is one of Tottenham’s top earning players and with just over a year left on his deal, Spurs are looking to offload him at the end of the season to free up a large chunck of funds.
Should Spurs Rethink Their Decision or Is Selling Son the Right Move?
Heung-Min Son has been a loyal servant to Tottenham, making 441 appearances for the club across all competitions.
Last season, he contributed to 27 goals, but this season, he appears fatigued and out of ideas. While he has scored 10 goals so far, only six have come in the Premier League and in 2025, he has managed just one league goal, which came against Arsenal.
Without a strong and well-coordinated attacking unit around him, Son has struggled to make an impact. A young talent like Mathys Tel could help reignite his form and confidence, but at 32 years old, it seems Daniel Levy is making the correct decision by looking to move him on.
A player of Son’s caliber could easily fetch €30-35 million in the transfer market, and Spurs could easily reinvest that money into a younger, high-potential left-winger. They could also use the funds to make Mathys Tel’s loan move permanent if he goes on to have an impactful spell in North London.
While Son remains a top-quality player, Spurs are clearly planning for the future. Levy and manager Ange Postecoglou are looking to build a refreshed squad around top talents like Lucas Bergvall, Dominic Solanke, and James Maddison and unfortunately, a 32-year-old does not quite fit into that long-term vision.
If Tottenham can secure a fee of €30 million or more for Son, it would be a sensible business decision. However, the key challenge will be finding a worthy replacement. Given Levy’s reputation as a shrewd businessman, there’s always a risk that he could use the funds to sign an unproven youngster from an obscure league rather than investing in a high-quality and top-rated replacement.
