Tottenham's Son Heung-min offered £100million to join Saudi Arabia's football revolution

Son Heung-min has been offered a whopping £100million to join Saudi Arabian champions Al-Ittihad, as the Gulf state continues its drive to become a global footballing force.

With Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and soon enough the likes of N'Golo Kante and Ruben Neves plying their trade in the Saudi Pro League, Tottenham star Son has become the latest big-name player to be linked with a lucrative move. The South Korean forward, 30, is being eyed by Al-Ittihad, who recently recruited Benzema and have agreed a deal with Kante.

According to ESPN, the newly-crowned Saudi champs - who beat Ronaldo's Al-Nassr to the title last season - are preparing an opening bid in the region of €60million (£51m). Al-Ittihad have also offered Son a lucrative four-year contract which would see him earn €30m (£25.6m) per season.
