Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent has said Heung-min Son is still worth around £80m.
The Spurs captain got his name on the scoresheet once again on the weekend in the emphatic win over Aston Villa.
But Heung-min Son’s future in north London could up for question with just one-year remaining on his current deal.
Heung-min Son’s Tottenham future
Going into the summer window, there may be some concern from fans surrounding the 31-year-old’s contract situation.
He now has just one-year remaining on his deal, but reports claim he is keen to stay at Spurs are talks are ongoing over an extension.
But speaking on TalkSPORT, Bent has admitted he’s amazed to not have heard a club like Real Madrid come in for Son.
And despite turning 32 in the summer, Bent has claimed the South Korean is still worth around four times what Spurs paid for him, he said: “Son, he’s far too good of a player to have won nothing.”
“£70m/£80m for Son. What a player he is. Unless we don’t hear about it, I’ve never heard Real Madrid go for Son.”
How much Heung-min Son cost
Back in 2015, Tottenham signed the forward from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of just £22m.
Of course, it was a move which will have held its own risks given the South Korean had no experience of the Premier League.
But it is a move which has proven to be one of the best Spurs have done in recent times and perhaps even their history.
Taking the modern valuation of players into consideration, Son at just £22m has to be one of the bargains of the century.
He has provided Tottenham with a staggering 159 goals and 88 assists in his 397 appearances across all competitions.
Although player valuations have also risen, it is just testament to how good Son has been at Tottenham that nine years after buying him, he is seen as still being worth around four times what he was bought for.
And he is showing no signs of slowing down under Ange Postecoglou with 22 goal contributions in the league so far.
