Tottenham Hotspur are willing to lower their asking price for Heung-Min Son to let him join LA FC if he so wishes, GIVEMESPORT sources understand.
New manager Thomas Frank has been looking to put his own stamp on the squad after taking over from Ange Postecolgou in north London this summer, with the arrivals of Kota Takai and Mohammed Kudus confirmed, while a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White hangs in the balance amid a legal challenge from Nottingham Forest.
That has seen the future of captain Son come under question, with MLS side Los Angeles FC emerging as the strongest suitors for his signature, and Spurs are open to accommodating the player’s wishes when making a decision.
Tottenham Open to £20m Sale
Wanted £35m but player not interested in Saudi
Son, who has been described as “world-class” and currently earns £190,000-a-week, currently has one year remaining on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the club triggered an option to extend his deal earlier this year.
But they are said to be open to a deal that would allow him to leave this summer, and have set his value at around £35m as they anticipate interest from mega-rich Saudi Arabia.
However, GMS sources understand that the club are aware that Son isn’t particularly keen on a move to the Middle East, and would therefore be willing to lower their asking price considerably out of respect for his service and achievements in north London should he want to move.
