Son Heung-Min "Not Ready" To Move To Saudi Arabia: "Money Is Not The Most Important Thing"

Son Heung-min wants to stay in the EPL despite rumors of a big offer to play in Saudi Arabia. Son said: "Money is not the most important thing to me right now."

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min wants to stay in the Premier League despite rumors of a huge offer from a team in Saudi Arabia.

South Korea captain Son has been with Spurs since 2015 and has scored more than 100 EPL goals.

The 30-year-old has two years left to run on his current contract but Saudi champions Al-Ittihad are said to be keen to sign him this summer.

According to ESPN, Al-Ittihad are ready to present Tottenham with an opening offer for Son worth $65 million.

Al-Ittihad, who recently signed Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, have reportedly already contacted Son with the offer of a four-year contract worth nearly $2.75m per month.

But Son publicly distanced himself from the speculation by telling reporters in South Korea this week: "I am not ready to go to that league and I like the Premier League.

"I have more things to accomplish in the Premier League.

"Money is not the most important thing to me right now. What is more important is the pride of playing in the league I love.

"I still have more things to do in the Premier League. I guess the [Spurs] fans will love me for saying this."
