Heung-min Son is the subject of interest from Spain and Italy as he prepares to fill the void left by Harry Kane in the Tottenham attack.

The South Korea forward has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, even though he has rarely been first choice for manager Mauricio Pochettino when all players are fit.

Son is likely to lead the attack for at least the next month, as Kane tries to recover from ankle ligament damage.

However, Standard Sport understands Son’s struggle to nail down a regular place during the last two seasons has persuaded Sevilla and Inter Milan to check on his availability.

Even when Son has performed well, he is often the man to make way when Tottenham are at full strength, and may consider his options this summer if the position does not change, though he remains a valuable and popular member of the squad.

Sevilla are third in La Liga but there is a feeling at the club that reinforcements in attack are still needed.

Their top scorer, Wissam Ben Yedder, has 16 goals but Sevilla want to bring him greater support and are impressed by Son’s goal return, as well as his versatility.

Yet as their record transfer fee is the £12.5million they paid Palermo for Franco Vazquez last summer, Sevilla’s best chance of signing a player like Son — who cost Spurs £22m from Bayer Leverkusen in summer 2015 — would appear to be on an initial loan deal.

Inter also have Son on a list of possible replacements should they lose Croatia forward Ivan Perisic to the Premier League this summer.
