Tottenham Hotspur defying the odds to ultimately secure for themselves a Premier League top-4 berth looks set to prove important in far more than simply guiding the club back into the group stages of the Champions League.<\/p>\n

This comes amid reports that, had the Lilywhites fallen short of north London rivals Arsenal, then they could have been forced to face up to the departure of a key member of Antonio Conte\u2019s frontline.<\/p>\n

As per a report from the reliable Alasdair Gold, as the campaign\u2019s conclusion approached, Heung-min Son was identified as a summer target by none other than Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Amid mounting speculation surrounding the future of Sadio Mane, the board at Anfield were understood to have set their sights on Son as a potential replacement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This of course comes with the South Korean fresh off the back of a scintillating campaign which culminated in him sharing Premier League Golden Boot honours with Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n

A big-money proposal, in turn, was being readied by the transfer team at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Spurs sealing a place back in the Champions League, however, brought a definitive end to any such hopes on Liverpool\u2019s part of landing Son, it is understood.<\/p>\n
