Barcelona are reportedly hoping to sign 32-year-old Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min this summer.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are hoping to sign Son Heung-min as a free agent in the summer transfer window. The South Korean attacker has been a key player for Tottenham since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth £22 million, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the Spanish club.
The veteran attacker is versatile enough to operate in multiple attacking roles, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. The Tottenham captain is at the peak of his powers, and he could make an instant impact in the short term.
He is yet to win a trophy at club level and the opportunity to join a big club like Barcelona could be quite attractive for the South Korean. He will look to compete at the highest level and win major trophies with them. Meanwhile, losing him could be a blow for Tottenham. He has been one of their best players over the years and they will need to replace him adequately. It remains to be seen of the situation develops.
Barcelona would do well to land Son on a bargain
There have been rumours of a potential contract extension and signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a major boost. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties and they need to plan their investment carefully. They need to hunt for bargains and the South Korean would be an exceptional acquisition for them.
The player has been linked with other clubs as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Spurs will not want to give up on him either, and it will be interesting to see if the interest from Barcelona forces them to act quickly and secure the player’s long-term future.
The £22 million attacker has shown signs of decline in recent months and it will be interesting to see if he can get back to his best once again. Playing for a big club could bring out the best in him. Spurs have been quite mediocre this season, and it is no surprise that most of their players have not been able to perform at a high level.
