With Son's future up in the air, here is a look at the latest surrounding the South Korea star...

LAFC move

According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, LAFC have presented their initial proposal to Son Heung-min as the new star of their project. The MLS side are keen to strengthen their squad following a difficult Club World Cup campaign and have identified the South Korea international as a potential target.

It's added that the final decision is up to Son as he is due to speak to new Tottenham head coach Frank to discuss his future as soon as possible. Tottenham are expected to let Son chose his next step.

A move to LAFC would see Son reunite with former Spurs teammate Hugo Lloris, who has been out in the US for the last 18 months.

No Tottenham bid

football.london understands that Tottenham have received no offers for Son Heung-min and he is expected to feature against either Wycombe Wanderers or Luton Town on Saturday.

Son's future is uncertain but Tottenham insist that not one bid has come in for the 33-year-old and he is part of Thomas Frank's plans. Spurs travel to South East Asia to face Arsenal next Thursday, before taking on Newcastle United and Bayern Munich ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Al-Nassr interest

Last month, it was reported that Al-Nassr were showing interest in signing Son Heung-min. The Saudi Pro League side are looking to bolster their front line after tying Cristiano Ronaldo down to a new blockbuster contract and Son has been named as one of the players on their transfer shortlist.

Reports addedthat Al-Nassr were prepared to offer Son a staggering £26.1m per-year pay packet. The Saudi side currently have Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, Otavio and Aymeric Laporte on their books.
