[스포츠서울 | 정다워기자] It has been reported that Liverpool are considering signing Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) in the transfer window this summer.
According to a report by the British media Football London on the 30th (Korean time), Liverpool planned to work to sign Son Heung-min if Tottenham could not win the UEFA Champions League tickets this season. Liverpool are said to have considered signing Heung-Min Son on the assumption that Tottenham could sell Heung-Min Son to make up for the loss as they would suffer a huge financial loss if Tottenham failed to play in the Champions League next season.
Liverpool are currently in need of reinforcements. This is because Sadio Mane, one of the players in the attack, is highly likely to leave Liverpool and move to a new team. Mane is currently linked with German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Heung-Min Son is a player who plays almost the same role as Mane, so he can be a perfect replacement. Moreover, both players were born in 1992 and are the same age.
Rather, it is safe to say that Son Heung-min is a player higher than Mane. Heung-Min Son became the top scorer in the English Premier League this season with 23 goals. He also recorded 7 assists and scored 30 attack points. Mane had 16 goals and 2 assists.
However, Liverpool’s review was unheard of. Tottenham Hotspur finished 4th in the English Premier League this season and will advance to the Champions League next season. With Tottenham going to the Champions League, it is safe to say that there is little chance of accepting Liverpool’s Son Heung-min offer. This is because neither the team nor Tottenham manager Antonio Conte will allow this. Heung-Min Son, who has great affection for Tottenham, has no reason to consider a transfer when the team is heading to the Champions League.
