Mauricio Pochettino is prepared to sell Son Heung-Min less than a year after the South Korean joined Tottenham Hotspur. Son could become the highest-profile casualty of Tottenham’s end-of-season collapse if the White Hart Lane club can recoup the £22million they paid Bayer Leverkusen last summer.

Other than Son, Pochettino will also listen to offers for Nabil Bentaleb and Ryan Mason as he works to make sure Spurs build on this season and do not fall at the final hurdle if they are well placed in 12 months. Son scored two goals in Tottenham’s final four games in which the club missed out on the Premier League title, second place and finishing above London rivals Arsenal.

But the 23-year-old was dragged off at half-time in Tottenham’s 5-1 defeat to Newcastle United for a performance that left some of his team-mates enraged and may have sealed his fate under Pochettino.
