Tottenham and Arsenal's rivalry game 'North London Derby' will be held outside the UK for the first time ever.
Tottenham will face Arsenal in the 2025-2026 pre-season at the 50,000-seat Kaitak Stadium in Hong Kong on the 31st (Korea time). Tottenham entered Hong Kong on the 28th.
Coach Thomas Frank held a press conference at Kai Tak Stadium on the 29th.
Son Heung-min's future has also been a top concern in Hong Kong. Coach Frank said, `I think everyone knows that Son Heung-min has been one of Tottenham's best players for the past 10 years. It is important to have flexible players. Son Heung-min will always score a goal, and it's important how to use him in that situation."
"Son Heung-min's achievements for this team are surprising," Frank said on the British soccer YouTube channel Man in Blazers. He is a great player who has dedicated himself to Tottenham." And "He is a player with a good mindset, sincerity, and leadership. You can play a very good role in this team in the new season. That's why I have high expectations."

It is a subtle change in the atmosphere. Son built his nest in Tottenham in August 2015. He presented Tottenham with the Europa League trophy as captain last season. It was the first time in 17 years since the top of the league cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season. Son Heung-min, who played in 454 games for Tottenham and scored 173 goals and 101 assists, has already been listed as a legend.
Son Heung-min is found to be negotiating a transfer with LA FC of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS). Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham was originally scheduled to expire after the 2024-2025 season. Tottenham activated a one-year extension earlier this year.
Fabrizio Romano, a European transfer market expert who is synonymous with `Here We Go', said on his SNS that `LA FC approached Son Heung-min to recruit him' LA FC is trying to recruit him, but Son Heung-min will have the final say'

LA FC currently has a designated player slot that can have up to three players per team. Olivier Giroud, who played for Arsenal in the past, recently transferred to France League 1 Lille. A designated player is a unique rule of the MLS that allows him to pay salaries beyond the cap. This is why Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) is playing in MLS.
Coach Frank recently gave an ambiguous answer at a press conference ahead of his first preseason game against Reading. He said, `Son Heung-min has been here for 10 years and has finally won the trophy he deserves (the Europa League). "A very important player for the team and the club", he said. "If a player has been in a club for a long time, the club will always have to make a decision. Son Heung-min is currently in the team, so I'm not too worried. Let's think about it in five or six weeks."
Son Heung-min is at a crossroads. The final decision is up to Son Heung-min.
