Frank Addresses Son’s Future Amid LAFC Links

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has provided an update on captain Heung-min Son’s future at the club, amid strong interest from MLS side Los Angeles FC. Son has entered the final 12 months of his deal at Spurs and is set for crunch talks with the English side over a new deal. LAFC have reportedly offered him a lucrative £15 million ($20.2m) per season contract.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Son has served Spurs for a decade now and is one of the greatest players to have ever graced the north London side. He helped the club to finally break their long trophy drought as he became the first Tottenham captain to win any European title after 41 years when they beat Manchester United to clinch the Europa League last season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 33-year-old forward, however, has entered the final 12 months of his existing deal and is yet to hold talks with the club over a new contract. MLS club LAFC have reportedly tabled an offer to bring Son to the United States. Amid speculation over the South Korea international’s future, new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has provided an update.

WHAT FRANK SAID
Speaking to Men in Blazers, the Danish coach said: “I think first and foremost, Son’s legacy here is remarkable. He’s been a fantastic player for Tottenham, he is a fantastic player for Tottenham. I see a player who can play a very good role here next season. He’s come in, very good mindset, trained very hard, pushed the players. So I’m excited about it.”

WHAT NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM?
Spurs are scheduled to face arch-rivals Arsenal in a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Thursday.
