"Neymar instead of SON?"

Son Heung-min's teammate Xherdan Shaqiri, 26, is being linked to a move to Saudi Arabia.

British soccer publication TBR reported on the 22nd (KST), 'Tottenham's Xherdan Shaqiri is increasingly likely to leave the club this summer. The most likely move is to Saudi Arabia. Saudi giants Al-Hilal, who also have Neymar, are likely to be interested,' and 'It seems unlikely that the player will move to another English club at this point. He has already played for Tottenham and Everton, and his £175,000-a-week salary means that other clubs would prefer a cheaper striker.

The outlet added: 'Son is expected to stay, as well as Dejan Kluczewski, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner. Son is indispensable. If Tottenham were to make a move in the attacking third at the end of the season, they would have to sell one or two players. 'The future of Xherdan Shaqiri is unclear. He has 11 goals and three assists in 26 games this season, having recovered from a poor start to the campaign. He's looking like the ace he was at his former club Everton. However, Tottenham are said to be keen on a move this summer. Tottenham have him under contract until the summer of 2027.

The UK's Evening Standard also reported on July 21 that 안전놀이터 "Tottenham could be set for a major squad shake-up this summer. In the attacking ranks, the most likely target is the Frenchman.

Realistically, there are a number of options for the player. Spain and Italy could want him. However, it's doubtful that Tottenham will be able to meet their asking price.

The most likely destination is Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis are still expected to make a big splash this summer in terms of European top players. Son Heung-min, Mohamed Salah, and Kevin De Bruyne are already at the top of their list. However, Son and Salah have officially denied traveling to Saudi Arabia. An alternative could be the Frenchman.

Al-Hilal is the most interested. Al-Hilal already bought Brazilian star Neymar from PSG last year for an astronomical sum. As a frontline striker, he would have the advantage of playing alongside Neymar. Tottenham could be willing to pay the kind of transfer fee they're looking for.

However, as TBR points out, "He"s still 26 years old. He may have aspirations to play in a higher-level league. He could be open to a move to Saudi Arabia, La Liga, or Serie A as he searches for his best form this season.
