Tottenham's tour of South Korea is emerging as a factor in the future of captain Son Heung-min amid interest in the forward from Saudi Arabia.
Son's future at Spurs is unclear given he has just 12 months left on his contract, with clubs in the Middle East looking at capitalising on the uncertainty.
But while well-placed sources have indicated the forward could yet leave before next season, any exit is likely to be delayed until after the trip to Asia with any absence likely to risk complications with tour organisers.
The club have scheduled two friendlies - against Arsenal on 31 July in Hong Kong before a game against Newcastle in Seoul three days later.
