After failing to sign Richarlison, Saudi Arabian club now want his ‘special’ Spurs teammate instead

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min is now wanted by Al-Ittihad alongside Mohamed Salah ahead of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham have already seen interest from Al-Ittihad in one of Ange Postecoglou’sattackers.
The Telegraph reported in September that Al-Ittihad launched a late move to sign Richarlison.
Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah was their top target but the Reds simply refused to sell.
Al-Ittihad pivoted to Richarlison but ran out of time to get a deal done for the Spurs striker.
The summer window is now moving into focus and Al-Ittihad could return for a Tottenham forward – but not Richarlison this time.
Son Heung-min wanted in Saudi Arabia
Football Transfers now report that Al-Ittihad want to bring Son Heung-min to Saudi Arabia.
It’s suggested that their dream is a double move with both Salah and Son arriving to flank Abderrazak Hamdallah in attack.
Both Romarinho Karim Benzema could go this summer and Al-Ittihad are ready to splash the cash on two huge attacking signings.
Son will be out of contract in 2025 and Tottenham may have something to think about if an enormous offer arrives.
The South Korean turns 32 this summer and will have just one year left on his deal; this would be Tottenham’s last chance to cash in.
The flip side is that Son is Tottenham’s captain, one of their most popular players and a major commercial attraction.
Losing Son would be a major dent for Tottenham and he has been one of Postecoglou’s most important players this season.
Hailed as ‘special’ by Alan Shearer, Son is absolutely loved in North London and selling him would divide opinion despite his age and the money on offer.
Postecoglou surely won’t want to see Son go but money could be the key factor here for both club and player as Al-Ittihad eye a big move.
