Dimitar Berbatov exclusive: Tottenham warned over Heung-min Son and Harry Kane transfer ‘danger’

Dimitar Berbatov has told his old club Tottenham not to be fixated on just keeping Harry Kane this summer, because top clubs will be eyeing Heung-min Son, too.

Tottenham fought hard to keep hold of Kane last year amid strong interest from Manchester City, and the striker’s future will be in the spotlight again this summer - particularly if Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester City’s move for Erling Haaland means there are less options now for Kane, but Berbatov has warned Spurs that clubs will be tracking Son after his fine season.

The South Korean has outshone Kane this year and his tally of 20 Premier League goals is only bettered by Liverpool star Mo Salah.

“It is interesting now because we all speak about Harry Kane, maybe in the summer we are going to see another soap opera like the one before, coming and going,” Betfair ambassador Berbatov told Standard Sport.

“But also Son is getting better and better with every season. So this is another dangerous situation, where all of a sudden maybe someone comes for your other striker, some other team offering you a lot of money.

“Then you are going to be in a situation where I and Keano (Robbie Keane) were back in the day. One was wanted by Liverpool and the other [Manchester] United. Then we were both gone.

“So in this case, with Son and Kane, it is a dangerous one because they are your top, top players in the team who can give you goals. If someone comes for them and offers you a lot of money, then what do you do? What do you do?

“But I know that Antonio Conte wants to keep them for sure, because these are the stars that can produce those moments that make the difference.”

Tottenham are pushing to qualify for the Champions League and can close the gap
