Bayern Munich are not expected to enter the race to sign Heung-min Son, talkSPORT has been told.
Reports emerged earlier this week claimed the Bundesliga giants were interested in signing the Tottenham forward.

Talks over a new Spurs contract have reportedly stalled with two years left on his current deal.
Bayern were said to be looking to exploit that and offer him a huge five-year deal worth a whopping £200,000-a-week.
Son enjoyed five successful years with Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, before joining Tottenham for £22million in 2015.
The South Korea forward has scored 18 goals and registered 16 assists in 41 appearances this season for Jose Mourinho’s men.
European football expert Kevin Hatchard believes that Bayern are unlikely to go in for Son.

“It doesn’t quite feel like a Bayern move to me, per se,” Hatchard told talkSPORT.
“They’ve obviously spent a lot of money on bringing Leroy Sane in and there are areas of the team that need bolstering more than that.
“I’d be surprised and I’d be surprised on his part as well. He’s kind of done with Germany.
“He was very good at Leverkusen and was at Hamburg before then, but his drive was always to get to the Premier League.
“For him to then go back to Germany, I’d be surprised. Serge Gnabry is a great player for them, he’s had a bit of a dip this season, but has generally been good.

“Sane is starting to really make an impact. They’ve got Kingsley Coman who is a terrific player.
“In those wide areas, I think they are okay. There’s been talk this week about Lewandowski and him extending his contract beyond 2023.
“In that central striker role there is no place and Bayern Munich are not one of the clubs in for Erling Haaland, even though most of the big clubs are.
“I don’t expect Bayern to enter that race.”
