SON HEUNG-MIN is reportedly at the centre of a three-way transfer race — but a clause in his Tottenham contract means a deal can't be done for WEEKS.

Spurs' captain struck 11 goals this term, his lowest output since his debut campaign.
And talkSPORT claim Son is now in the crosshairs of three teams from Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah are all big fans of the South Korean.
They are each willing to splash out £34million to bring Son to the Middle East.

And Tottenham chief Daniel Levy is open to doing business as he raises funds for new gaffer Thomas Frank.
Son himself also sees the merit in leaving on a high after leading Tottenham to Europa League glory.
Former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is also keeping an eye on Son to strengthen his Fenerbahce side in Turkey.
And offers could soon start to flood in.

However, Tottenham are unwilling to sell Son for some time.
That's because they are obliged to play him when they visit his homeland of South Korea for a pre-season friendly in early August.

Spurs take on rivals Newcastle in capital city Seoul on August 3 and are commercially contracted to play Son.
It would impact them financially if the veteran did not feature in front of his adoring fans.
And so any bids for Son are unlikely to be accepted until Tottenham are back in England later this summer.
Should he go, Spurs could replace Son with Bryan Mbeumo.
The forward was a key player under Frank at Brentford but currently favours a move to Manchester United.
Manor Solomon is also likely to stay in the first team after his Leeds loan.
But he is currently stranded in Israel amid the ongoing conflict with Iran.
