He came back with a good timing after shaking off his injury, but waiting for Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) is 'Akjae Comprehensive Set'. Heaven does not seem to intend to give Son Heung-min the trophy easily.
According to the Gangnam Police Station on the 14th, Son Heung-min filed a complaint on the 7th, claiming that he was asked for money and valuables under the pretext of becoming pregnant by a woman in her 20s. The claim is that in June last year, Son tried to extort hundreds of millions of won in bribes by deceiving Son Heung-min that he was pregnant. Accordingly, the police are investigating the woman and a man in his 40s on charges of blackmail.
Son Heung-min filed a complaint on the 7th, just four days before he returns from injury. Son Heung-min, who suffered a foot injury in the first leg of the 2024-2025 European Europa League quarterfinals against Eintracht Frankfurt on the 11th of last month, returned as a substitute in the second half of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Crystal Palace on the 11th, just one month later.

Son Heung-min is improving his condition ahead of the Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao, Spain, on the 22nd. In the midst of this, events that can affect concentration have become an issue.
Problems were also scattered within the team. Tottenham fell to 17th place, just above the relegation zone, losing 0-2 against Palace, where Son Heung-min returned. With his 20th loss of the season, he confirmed his worst season in the EPL. In the Europa League, they beat Frankfurt and Bodo/Glimt one after another to reach the final, but in the league, they have been consistent with their worst performance, losing four games (one draw).
Striker Son Heung-min's strong supporters also collapsed one by one. While Lucas Veribal, who plays a dedicated role, and James Madison, a playmaker who boasts a perfect combination with Son Heung-min, are out for the season due to injury, even Dejan Kulusevski, a second-line resource whose main weapon is activity and energy, is on the operating table due to a patella injury and cannot play in the final.
It is unclear whether Son Heung-min, a leading striker, will be able to play full-time in 90 minutes, as he has lost three key players to injuries. Negative factors are increasing.

In recent interviews with domestic reporters, including Sports Chosun, Son Heung-min expressed his strong desire to match the final piece of his career of winning. He said "That's why I'm staying at Tottenham, that I want to do things that others couldn't do. You need the most important last piece of the puzzle to get it all right. I wish I could get it right."
Son Heung-min suffered setbacks in the 2018-2019 European Champions League final and the 2020-2021 League Cup final, respectively. After losing the Champions League final against Liverpool, he was seen crying sadly in the arms of his father, Son Woong-jung. Son Heung-min said, `I clearly learned something from the failure. It is important to pass on my experience to the players. I want to win."
Son Heung-min cheered for Manchester United, where senior Park Ji-sung and his idol Cristiano Ronaldo were involved. Watching them, I dreamed of entering the EPL. But now United are a must-go team to win the championship. Son Heung-min says, `I don't have any feelings for him"I understand that there are a lot of Manchester United fans in Korea because of Ji Sung." Still, I think he will support Tottenham a lot. I wish I could give you a good present"
Son Heung-min is expected to increase his playing time through a league game against Aston Villa on the 17th.
