Son, 31, is entering the final year of his four-year contract with Spurs, who have an option to extend his deal by a year. The Turkish giants, now armed with Mourinho at the helm, are targeting a big summer spending spree and reports claimed that the former Tottenham boss was considering linking back up with Son. However, the forward seemed to shoot down suggestions that he could be one to potentially exit the club this summer. “I have not had any exchanges with the club,” Son said after helping South Korea to a 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory over China in Seoul.

“I don’t have anything to say at this point. I feel a little uncomfortable with the situation. I am going to keep doing my best for Tottenham. I still have terms left on my contract.

Money is not important to me. The most important thing is to play in a league that I enjoy playing in. Having joined the club in 2015, Son relished his joint-second highest goal tally last season with 17 league goals, behind only his 2021-22 season during which the forward notched a staggering 23 league goals. Even so, there were some frustrating moments for the forward as he navigated a season blighted by injuries to key players in the squad.
