"I understand...": Gold reveals huge Spurs transfer update, supporters will be buzzing - opinion

Alasdair Gold has dropped an update on the future of Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min.

In a recent post on Twitter, the football.london journalist revealed that, should Antonio Conte’s side have missed out on a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, Liverpool were set to launch an offer for the 29-year-old winger in the summer transfer window.

In his tweet, Gold said: “Another bonus of Son’s goals and Conte leading Spurs to fourth place is that I understand it stopped Liverpool from making a big summer bid to test Tottenham’s resolve to keep the South Korean star. I can’t believe they would have accepted it anyway.”

Considering just how important a part of the Spurs side Son undoubtedly is, the news that Liverpool do not look as if they are set to make an offer for the South Korea international this summer is sure to have left the Tottenham faithful buzzing.

These returns saw the £140k-per-week talent average a quite breathtaking SofaScore match rating of 7.50, not only ranking him as Conte’s best performer in the league but also as the third-best player in the division as a whole.
