Will Son still be a Spurs player at the start of the season?
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min’s future at the club remains in doubt.
He has just 12 months left on his contract and is reportedly attracting interest from Saudi Arabia and the MLS.
No potential exit will happen while Spurs are on their tour of Asia so a move for the 33-year-old would happen towards the back end of the window.
After playing Arsenal in Hong Kong on 31 July, Tottenham travel to Seoul to face Newcastle United three days later and they will want to draw on Son’s popularity as the most successful South Korean footballer.

Wissa may not train with Brentford
The Evening Standard report that Yoane Wissa is reportedly “angry and disappointed” with Brentford’s approach to his future amid continued interest from Newcastle.
The forward left the Bees’ pre-season training camp in Portugal last week amid speculation around his future but is expeted to return to the squad tomorrow.
Brentford have rejected a £25m from Newcastle though Wissa is under the impression he would be able to leave the club this summer.
the forward has allegedly threatened not to play for Brentford again if he is not allowed to leave. Wissa wants to play Champions League football and at 28 may not get the opportunity should he remain with the Bees.
Brentford, for their part, have already sold Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard while their former manager, Thomas Frank, has moved to Tottenham.
It is easy to see why they are reluctant to sell Wissa.

Luke Shaw makes honest admission about ‘stragglers’ in Man United squad
“He’s extremely tough on the group. He leaves no stone unturned and I think there are no stragglers in this group anymore. I think everyone has to put the team first. He’s made that very clear,” Shaw said while on United’s pre-season tour.
“I think he’s picking players on how he feels will be best for the team and that’s his choice. As players, we’re fully behind him and fully behind on his ideas and what he wants to implement in this team. We feel like a real team, especially this pre-season.”

Patrick Dorgu and Amad Diallo extended their lead before 19-year-old academy graduate Ethan Williams scored his first senior goal two minutes after coming on as a 70th-minute substitute.
