Following the Harry Kane transfer news, there’s another reported blow for Tottenham as fellow star player Son Heung-min is supposedly targeted by Real Madrid.
Along with Kane, Son has been one of Spurs’ best and most important players of recent times, and it seems he’s being lined up as a target for Real Madrid in a potential swap deal involving Eden Hazard, according to Don Balon.

The Belgium international has proven a major flop since leaving Chelsea for Madrid, and it’s unsurprising that the Spanish giants want to get rid of him this summer.

Spurs would surely need to spend big to find someone as good as Son, and Hazard no longer looks like he’s ready to make an impact at a top club after an alarming drop-off in form in the last couple of seasons.
It’s certainly worrying news from a Tottenham point of view, however, as Don Balon claim Son is keen to leave north London this summer.
