According to Alan Hutton, this will be the last chance for Son Heung-min to leave Tottenham for a large sum of money this summer
The South Korea international has been in fine form under Ange Postecoglou on the pitch this season, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in 35 Premier League games to take Spurs into the Europa League
Although there is little speculation about the 31-year-old’s future, former Lilywhites boss Jose Mourinho admits he believes the striker should compete for trophies and play for clubs such as Manchester City and Liverpool [EA Sports FC, May 8]
Although Hutton believes time is running out for the Spurs captain to make such a move as he enters the twilight of his career, he believes Son will want to stay in north London to cementing his stats as a Tottenham legend
“You don’t hear many rumors about Son leaving,” Hutton told Tottenham News
“But José Mourinho has worked with him before so he knows exactly what he’s capable of and I think we all know
“I don’t remember exactly how old he is, but he mid-thirties so he’s probably looking at his last chance to make a big move if you will
However, I don’t know where he’s going because we don’t hear much about it
“I think he has a lot to give
” will remain a Tottenham legend and perhaps he wants to cement that “I wouldn’t be surprised if he stayed
” Son is already a Spurs legend and like his former team-mate Harry Kane, that won’t change if he decides to leave this summer
But most Tottenham fans will be keen to see Postecoglou retain his talisman during the transfer window
While it was a shame the 31-year-old was unable to win any silverware during his time in north London, he left a lasting impression on the Lilywhites that would have been difficult to do in another club
There’s not much time left for him to move elsewhere, but the lack of speculation about his future could mean he’s not ready to move on, unlike Kane this time last year
Hopefully Spurs will be able to dispel the interest that arose when this summer’s transfer window opens, as Postecoglou will be keen to lean on his captain as he looks to make his mark on the team
The Australian has repeatedly stated that he wants to be the man to make Spurs a winning team and the task will become much easier with the Korean international by his side
