Tottenham’s Daniel Levy warned of worst case scenario with threat

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy faces the prospect of Son Heung-min forcing his way out of the club if Harry Kane ultimately leaves this summer, according to Darren Ambrose. Tottenham are facing Groundhog Day once again in a few months with speculation growing over Kane’s future at the club.

The England captain came close to leaving a few years ago when Manchester City came knocking, only for Tottenham to put their foot down in negotiations. But Spurs’ lack of progress since then has only reignited rumours of Kane looking elsewhere heading into the summer transfer window once again.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich are being strongly linked with the 29-year-old, who has continued his fine scoring streak with 23 goals in the league this campaign. There’s plenty of uncertainty surrounding Tottenham in general with no clear movement on who will come in as their next permanent manager.

Whoever they choose is likely to have an impact on whether Kane wants to stay or not. But if Kane starts getting itchy feet again to move to a team capable of challenging for silverware then Ambrose suggests that could lead to an exodus from the club’s elite.

While Son hasn’t been anywhere near his best form this season, he remains Tottenham’s second-most potent attacker. However, Ambrose feels as though Son will be straight on the phone to his agent to sound out a move if Kane leaves.

“The problem then arises when I look at the likes of maybe Son – okay, maybe he’s on a bit of bad form – but most clubs would still take Son,” he told talkSPORT. “He’ll be on the phone to his agent saying: ‘well, they’re not really progressing here anymore.

“Our best player’s leaving. See if anything can come up with me’. And you just start losing more players.” Son signed a new four-year contract with Tottenham back in 2021, but a decision will soon need to be made on his future.

And the South Korean’s father hinted a few months ago that his son will need to leave Tottenham if they fail to build a trophy-challenging squad. “He must work harder and make more progress,” Son Woong-jung said back in October.

“If he is satisfied with what he has achieved now, crisis is on the way. He must always try to do better to stay in the best form, don’t you think? Instead of being happy to stay where he is, I always want him to be 10 per cent better… he must be able to play a solid role in one of the world’s top clubs.

“That’s when he will become a world class player. He scored a lot of goals this year, but it doesn’t mean he will do the same next year.” Son and Kane leaving this summer would arguably be the worst case scenario for Levy and whoever comes in as their next manager.
