In a stunning twist to the summer transfer window, Brentford manager Thomas Frank has set his sights on Tottenham Hotspur's talismanic captain Son Heung-min. The Danish tactician is believed to be preparing an audacious bid for the South Korean superstar as he looks to bolster his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
Frank's Bold Transfer Ambition
The Bees' boss, who has earned plaudits for his progressive style of football, sees Son as the perfect addition to his attacking options. Despite Son's legendary status at Spurs, where he's scored over 160 goals, Frank is reportedly confident he can tempt the 31-year-old forward across London.
Son's Tottenham Legacy Under Scrutiny
While Son remains a fan favourite in N17, having captained the side to fifth place last season, questions linger about Tottenham's ability to challenge for top honours. This uncertainty could play into Brentford's hands as they offer the promise of regular football and a clearly defined project under Frank's leadership.
Potential Transfer Fee and Complications
Any deal would likely command a significant fee given Son's pedigree, though his age and the fact he has two years remaining on his contract complicate negotiations. Tottenham's new manager will face an immediate dilemma - whether to cash in on their star man or build their team around him for another campaign.
Premier League Rivalry Heats Up
This potential transfer would represent one of the most surprising moves of the window, pitting ambitious Brentford against one of London's traditional powerhouses. The Bees' impressive recruitment in recent years suggests they shouldn't be underestimated in the transfer market.
