United and Chelsea set for summer bidding war over South Korean starlet Son



South Korean star Son Heung-Min is set to become the subject of a bidding war between Manchester United and Chelsea this summer.

The 20-year-old has become one of the rising stars of the Bundesliga this season, following a succession of outstanding performances for Hamburg.

And Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafa Benitez are both interested in bringing the £10m-rated attacker to the Premier League, according to the Sunday People.

United scouts have watched Son in a number of Hamburg matches this season, while Chelsea have also expressed an interest.

Thorsten Fink, the Hamburg coach, has relied on Son's versatile play this season and the youngster has repaid his faith, averaging a goal every three matches.



Versatile: The South Korea international is strong, physical and can play right across the front line

Tall and strong, Son's physical presence means he can play anywhere across the forward line and is a danger from set-pieces.
