Frank coy on Son future as Romero 'looks forward to new season'

Thomas Frank did not rule out a summer departure for Heung-min Son, but insisted he was "not worried" about the Tottenham forward's future.

Son has been at the club for a decade and there have been suggestions that the club captain could be open to going out on a high, with MLS side LAFC among the clubs linked with a move for the 33-year-old.

Frank said Son had been "setting the standards" in pre-season training and he will captain Spurs for 45 minutes against Reading on Saturday, with Cristian Romero leading the side for the other half.

The future of Romero has also been in doubt. The centre-back spoke openly last season of his desire to one day play in Spain and Atletico Madrid are known to be keen admirers.

Frank said. "Right now he’s here, that’s what I’m focusing on. As long as players are here, I’m training them, I’m playing with them.

"He’s definitely here and very committed. I know he’s looking forward to the season."
