Riyadh wins targeting Asian king Son Heung-min, seeing him as a potential replacement for Ronaldo

According to the Daily Mail, Riyadh Victory intends to sign South Korean star Son Heung-min from Tottenham to make up for the vacancy left by Ronaldo. As the most powerful Asian star in active service, Son Heung-min has devoted his best years to Tottenham for ten seasons since joining Tottenham in 2015, from a young man to Kane’s strongest wingman, and then to the captain of Tottenham. During the ten years, he made 454 appearances for Tottenham, scored 173 goals and assisted 101 times, and won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-2022 season.

With Tottenham winning the UEFA Cup this season, Son Heung-min also avoided the embarrassing situation of not having a championship for many years. The age of age is inevitable and the decline in competitive state is obviously not in the team's future plans. Although Son Heung-min once rejected Saudi Arabia's invitation, it is not the same as before. For Son Heung-min now, if he can join the Saudi League and win a high-salary contract, it is definitely a good choice at present.

For Tottenham, if they can send Son Heung-min to Saudi Arabia, it will definitely be a great deal. In January this year, Tottenham triggered the option and the contract with Son Heung-min was extended to 2026. If Son Heung-min is sent away this summer, the club can also receive a transfer fee, which will avoid the risk of players leaving freely next year. No matter how you look at it, you will make a profit without losing money.
