Tottenham favourite has now been 'approached' over transfer after Thomas Frank omission

Tottenham legend Heung-min Son could now have a concrete option to leave the club amid talk he could be sold ahead of the new season. Son endured a tough campaign of last and at 33 years of age, he is entering the final year of his contract after penning a short-term extension last season.

The South Korean has been one of Tottenham’s most important players in recent decades, but there are fears over a decline, given his age, and new boss Thomas Frank might want to move on as he looks to build a speed-based dynamic attack.

During his first press conference, Frank spoke about his excitement over his front line, and he did not name Son, saying: “I think the front three, four, depending on if we play with a 10 and a front three, with Dominic [Solanke] up there, I think Richarlison is a good striker, I know he's been struggling with injuries, I think he was having a strong end to the season and was very important for the team to win the Europa League trophy. Brennan [Johnson], [Dejan] Kulusevski, I know he's out for a little bit of a while but he's still there. [James] Maddison, [Wilson] Odobert, Mathys Tel and now Kudus. I think that's a strong, creative frontline and I'm 100 percent sure we will score a lot of goals."

Frank did address Frank’s future over the weekend as Tottenham returned to friendly action, though. He added: “Sonny, been here 10 years, finally got his his well deserved trophy in the summer. So important for the team and the club. Cristian Romero, World Cup winner, Europa League winner, Copa America winner, very, very important for us as well. Both have trained well, setting the standards out there on the training pitch and both will play [against Reading] so I'm very happy.

"My expectation is all the players are here and they are training well. That is what I am focusing on and again very impressed by them. They set the standards and train hard. As I said, they are playing tomorrow, that's a good indicator that they are here."

On the captaincy, which Son currently holds, Frank continued: “I haven't decided anything on [the captaincy]. I have a long list of bullet points I need to get through and I take them in the right order. He was the captain last year and when we play two 45s [at Reading], Son and Romero will be the two captains, but I haven't made a final decision."

As rumours continue to emerge surrounding Son’s future, there are now claims that LAFC have approached the veteran forward to see whether they can lure him to MLS. Fabrizio Romano posted: “LAFC have approached Heung-min Son over potential transfer for this summer as their new superstar. Talks at early stages, as @PaulTenorio reports — as LAFC want to try but Son and Spurs will have the final say. Thomas Frank will also speak to Son and discuss future.”

LAFC are currently fifth in the Western Conference and currently on course for a playoff spot. They have 13 games left of the current regular season, with three extra remaining compared to most, owing to their FIFA Club World Cup participation.
