This whole 'Asian market' thing is a myth - We would certainly sell a lot of shirts in S. Korea, but as for China and Japan? Forget it. I used to live over there (Jeju-Do) and trust me, The Koreans, Chinese and Japanese want nothing to do with each other. Old Animosities are still for the large part very raw, and the migration figures from S. Korea to other parts of Asia (other than those figures relating to education) are negligible.

Having said that, the corporate sponsorship potential for the new stadium would be huge.

Question is if he'd want to leave Leverkusen for us. Leverkusen can provide better European football opportunities (although Bundesliga is tight right now) and while we could likely offer more in wages, I'm not sure by how much. I just don't think we're a big enough step up (if we really are one) to turn his head. More likely we'd have to turn Leverkusen's head with a big $ offer.

Well Holtby joined us when he was a regular in a Schalke team that were CL regulars. That doesn't make it a certainty but the whole idea of players caring about Champions League football is a bit of a myth, the majority care about money and, to an extent, trophies.

As someone else said, I'd prefer Bellarabi from Leverkusen, he'd fit the system perfectly and has more to his game.

One of the greatest assets of Son Heung-Min is his versatility. He can play left, right and down the middle. An ideal replacement for Kane if he needs a rest or is injured. And, of course, his scoring record is exemplary. I expect that he'll get a lot of games for Spurs should he join us.

Song Heung-Min has good pace and energy which i love in attacking player aswell he does have good assists stats and can finish.

We need to target players with pace and finishing abilities for Poch idea to come through.

We're definitely a step up from Leverkusen, would probably only take about £12-15m to get him

@Sweech I just looked on transfermarkt and they have him as £14m. People always underestimate how easy it can be to pluck good talent out of the Bundesliga, but that said we shouldn't go for Son
