Tottenham's Son Heung-Min calm over exit claims

Son Heung-Min admits he is aware of speculation about his Tottenham future, but says he plans to stay at White Hart Lane.

Son has been linked with a move away from Spurs despite only joining them from Bayer Leverkusen in a £22m move last summer.

The Daily Telegraph claimed Spurs are ready to sell the striker after he managed just four Premier League goals in his debut season in England.

Speaking to Yonhap News Agency, Son said he was aware of the speculation, but insisted he was unfazed by the reports. 

"I haven't heard anything from the club regarding those transfer rumours," he said. 

"I'm sure my club will take care of this, and I think there is nothing special for me to be worried about.

"My first season in the Premier League didn't meet my expectations, but I had a good experience.

"For my first season, I played with the thought that I should learn many things here."

The 23-year-old has been named in the South Korea squad for their upcoming friendlies with Spain and the Czech Republic. 

However, Son is hopeful he can represent his country in this summer's Olympics in Rio as one of the three players over the age of 23 in the squad.

Any involvement in the Olympics would prolong Son's absence from the Tottenham squad, with the Games running until August 21 and Spurs' first league game due to played in the weekend of August 13.

Son is keen to play in Brazil and is confident he will be permitted to do so after speaking to his club. 

"I already told my club that I want to go the Olympics, and they seemed to be examining my request with a positive attitude," he said.
