Captain Son Heung-min and Shin Sung Yang Min-hyuk will visit Korea as they are included in the pre-season Asian tour list. On the other hand, Japanese national center back Kota Takai was excluded from the list due to injury.

Tottenham announced on the 27th (local time) a list of 29 players to participate in the Asian tour from Hong Kong to South Korea. Tottenham, which departed on the 28th, plans to hold friendly matches with Arsenal in Hong Kong on the 31st and Newcastle in Seoul on the 3rd of next month. The team that visited Korea with Son Heung-min for the first time in 2022 is set to visit Korea for the third time after 2024.

Son Heung-min, who is recently connected to LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), Yang Min-hyuk, who returned from a loan at Queens Park Rangers last season, Christian Romero, key defender who is rumored to be a transfer, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, transfer

Major resources such as Saint-Mohamed Qudus, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and James Madison were included.




Defender Luca Vuskovic, who showed off his monstrous ability during the pre-season, will also stand in front of Korean fans. It is also a stage that gives a glimpse of the tactics of manager Thomas Frank, who took the helm of Tottenham ahead of the new season.

Some of the absentees are also eye-catching. In particular, rising defender Kota Takai will not be present in Japan. Takai made headlines when he moved from Kawasaki Frontale to Tottenham for 5 million pounds (about 9.2 billion won), the highest transfer fee ever in the J-League. However, after joining the team, he injured his calf while training and was unable to participate in an important Asian tour schedule.

Fullback Destiny Udogi, striker Manol Solomon, defender Radu Dradusin, striker Dejan Kulusevski and Brian Hill are also not with him due to rehabilitation problems. Mikey Moore, Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett are not on this tour on transfer or loan initiatives.

Son Heung-min is increasingly likely to end his 10-year career at Tottenham after his Asian tour. According to recent local reports, LAFC leaders plan to fly to London to negotiate Son Heung-min's transfer. Son Heung-min is said to be positive about advancing to the U.S. stage a year before the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup finals.

After the Asian tour, Tottenham will fly to Munich, Germany, and play a friendly match against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. If Son Heung-min's transfer is not decided, Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae (Munich) will face the Korean Derby and Son Heung-min and Harry Kane will face off in friendship.
