Rumors have spread that Son Heung-min (32) is connected to Fenerbahce, a club in Turkiye. Upon hearing the news, Chairman Daniel Levy blocked the rumor, saying, “Everything is a lie.”
British media outlet “Sports Witness” reported on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) that “Turkiye reported that Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce was aiming for Son Heung-min. It had a big impact on Turkiye’s media, and Chairman Levi completely dismissed the related report.”
Fenerbahce appointed Mourinho ahead of the 2024-25 season. Mourinho was considering his next step after being dismissed from AS Roma. Though connected to Saudi Arabian team and national team, he wanted to stay in Europe and prove his competitiveness, and hence he joined Fenerbahce, a prestigious Turkiye team.
After Mourinho took charge of Fenerbahce, quite a few players went up and down. Tottenham players, who Mourinho stayed with following Romelu Lukaku, were no exception. There was Emil Hoyvierre, who lost his chance to play under Enzi Postecoglou, and the next target was surprisingly Son Heung-min.
According to Sports Witness, Turkiye media outlet Sport Digitale contacted Chairman Levi to hear him say. After steadily contacting Chairman Levi, he was able to hear the rumor of Son Heung-min’s transfer, who waved his hands, saying, “It is a complete lie to say that Son Heung-min is going to Fenerbahce.” 노래방알바
For Tottenham, Son is a key player. As Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich last summer, Son was the only runner-up in the UEFA Champions League. Postecoglou gave Son the captain’s armband and proved his presence by making double-digit attack points for eight consecutive seasons this season and being listed in the top 10 of the ESPN list around the world.
It was controversial that Son, who has already passed 30 years old, was offered a one-year extension instead of a long-term contract, but he is still a key player. At Tottenham, there are not many strikers who can produce more offensive points than Son. Sports Witness also made the transfer a simple happening, saying that Levy has no intention of hearing Fenerbahce’s offer to recruit Son.
