Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho has reportedly met with Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-Min Son to discuss a potential summer transfer, according to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu. The meeting has sparked speculation about a sensational reunion between the two, who previously worked together at Spurs from 2019 to 2021.

Mourinho’s Ambitious Project at Fenerbahçe

After a trophyless debut season in Turkey, Mourinho is spearheading an aggressive summer rebuild at Fenerbahçe. The Portuguese tactician is targeting marquee signings to dethrone Galatasaray and restore the club’s domestic dominance. Son, 32, is seen as a key figure in that vision, with Mourinho reportedly offering a lucrative €12 million-per-year contract.

However, Tottenham’s €30 million valuation of their captain could prove a stumbling block. With just one year left on his contract, Spurs may be open to negotiations, but the deal remains “unlikely” unless Fenerbahçe increases their offer

Son’s Legacy at Tottenham: A Modern-Day Icon

Since joining Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Heung-Min Son has become one of the most iconic players in Premier League history. Known for his blistering pace, two-footed finishing, and relentless work ethic, Son has etched his name into Tottenham folklore.

Career Stats at Tottenham (2015–2025):

• Appearances: 333
• Goals: 127
• Assists: 80+
• Premier League Golden Boot: 2021–22 (23 goals, joint-winner)
• Trophies: UEFA Europa League (2025), EFL Cup runner-up (2021), UCL finalist (2019)

In 2023, Son became the first Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals, and was later appointed club captain. He led Spurs to their first major trophy in 17 years — the 2025 UEFA Europa League title — cementing his legacy as one of the club’s greatest-ever players

International Stardom and Cultural Impact

Son is also a national hero in South Korea. With 51 goals in 134 caps, he’s the country’s all-time leading scorer and has represented the Taeguk Warriors at three World Cups. He won gold at the 2018 Asian Games, earning military exemption, and received the Cheongnyong Medal, South Korea’s highest sporting honor, in 2022.

What’s Next?

While a move to Fenerbahçe remains uncertain, the mere possibility of Son reuniting with Mourinho has electrified fans in both Istanbul and North London. Whether he stays or goes, Son’s legacy as a trailblazer for Asian football and a Tottenham legend is already secure.
