Tottenham news: Son Heung-min transfer fear if Mauricio Pochettino leaves Spurs

Tottenham risk losing forward Son Heung-min during the summer if they fail to hold onto manager Mauricio Pochettino, according to Football Insider. There are growing fears within the club that Son will push for a summer transfer if Pochettino decides to leave. The South Korea international is also believed to have serious doubts that he can achieve his trophy ambitions at Tottenham. Son signed a new contract in North London last year, and won’t be leaving Spurs on a free transfer until 2023.

Pochettino has been linked with a move away from Tottenham for a number of years. The Argentinian manager has overseen a dramatic rise in Spurs’ fortunes during his five-and-a-half year spell at the Tottenham helm. He took over at the club after the 2013/2014 season, where Tottenham finished sixth in the Premier League table. Since then, Spurs have been steadily rising the table, even managing to finish second during the 2016/2017 campaign.

Pochettino guided Tottenham to the Champions League final last season, after dramatic wins over Manchester City and Ajax. But, his success at Spurs hasn’t gone unnoticed, and a number of clubs are believed to be interested in signing him. Manchester United have been linked with Pochettino for a number of years now, and they were expected to make a move for the manager in December last year, when they sacked Jose Mourinho. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are also reportedly keen on bringing Pochettino to the Santiago Bernabeu.
