Son Heung-min has spoken on teammate Harry Kane‘s prospective transfer to Bayern Munich, emphasizing the importance of respecting his decision.
Son claims he is uninformed of Kane’s predicament at the club and suggests that fans respect the striker’s privacy and wait for him to make a choice on his future.
“I can’t say anything about the final decision because I don’t know anything. Probably Harry doesn’t know. We just have to wait. The decision will be between the club and Harry and we have to respect it,” he told reporters.
“Harry has been fantastic for me. He’s always professional, always working hard. He’s never shown any thoughts about himself. There’s so much news going around it’s also not easy for him. But he’s captain at the moment and he’s working with the team. He doesn’t show any distractions. He is not bothered. He loves being here. I love him as a player.
“I fully respect him. He’s one of the best strikers in the world, has been for five, six, seven years in a row. He’s always one of the hardest working guys, working hard as a striker, sprinting back when we lose the ball. He is a great example. Playing with him is always fun, it’s a joy. Watching him training there are a lot of things to learn.”
Kane’s future is uncertain. The Bundesliga winners have already had two bids rejected by Tottenham, who value Kane at £100 million ($128 million). A third bid is said to be on the way. Kane’s wife has apparently been spotted house searching in Bavaria amid the allegations.
