Son committed to Tottenham amid Bayern links

Son Heung-min insists his future lies with Tottenham despite speculation linking him with a move to Bayern Munich.

Son only signed a new five-year contract with Spurs in July but reports this week suggested Bundesliga champions Bayern were plotting a move for the former Bayer Leverkusen forward.

The South Korea international has been a pivotal player for Mauricio Pochettino’s side over the past two seasons, his 26 league goals easing the burden on star striker Harry Kane and helping Spurs to consecutive top-three finishes.

Speaking after Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, Son said: “I recently renewed my contract with Tottenham, and I believe I need to focus on here to do more for the team. I’m happy at Tottenham.”
