'Son National' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is coming to Korea for now.

On the 28th (Korea Standard Time), Tottenham confirmed and announced the list of pre-season tours to be held in Hong Kong and Korea this summer through the club's official channel. Tottenham will play Arsenal's North London derby at Kaitak Sports Park in Hong Kong on the 31st and then play Newcastle at Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3.

This is Tottenham's third visit to Korea. It faced the 2022 Team K League and Sevilla, and clashed with the 2024 Team K League and Bayern Munich. This year, it will clash with Newcastle. This is the first time Tottenham will face an English Premier League club in Korea.

Son Heung-min, who is at the center of this summer's transfer rumors, talked about going to Korea. Tottenham has not made any moves, with only the prospect that `Tottenham will give a chance to make a choice in the sense of respect for Son Heung-min who has devoted 10 years.' At the press conference of manager Thomas Frank (Tottenham), who had previously said that there would be a hint of Son Heung-min's future, there was no significant response. "If a player has been in a club for a long time, the club will always have to make a decision," Frank said. "I'm not too worried about Son Heung-min being in the team at the moment. Let's think about it in five to six weeks."

There was a reason why Tottenham were tepid. On the 21st, Matt Law of the British media 『Telegraph" reported that 'the key player clause" is behind the fact that Son Heung-min's transfer this summer has not been decided for sure. Tottenham will tour Asia in Seoul and Hong Kong this summer. After meeting with Arsenal in Hong Kong, he moved to Korea to play a Coupang Play series with Newcastle. Tottenham have consistently made huge profits by visiting South Korea over the past few years.

The Telegraph explained that `Son Heung-min's participation directly affects the tour's profits.' If Son Heung-min is removed from the Seoul tour list, Tottenham will lose 75% of its game allowance. Even if Son Heung-min accompanies him, his profits will be halved if he does not play in the game. The reason Tottenham is coming on tour to far away Asia is because of its economic aspects. However, it may be difficult for Tottenham, especially Chairman Daniel Levy, to miss the profit in front of their eyes because Son Heung-min is not played. The Telegraph predicted that it is virtually impossible for Tottenham to transfer Son Heung-min (to another team) before the Asian tour because of these provisions.




Earlier in the day, soccer finance expert Dam Plumley said, `If there was a clause that Son Heung-min must play under the contract, you can see why Tottenham tried to keep Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a very important player off the field, adding "This is not the first time Tottenham is going to South Korea. There will also be brand links among other partners regarding Son Heung-min." "If Son Heung-min is contractually obligated to participate in this tournament, the transfer will be after the Korean tour," he said.

The BBC also said Son's future at Tottenham is still uncertain, adding that Tottenham's tour of Korea could be an important factor in Son's future. According to sources, Son may leave Tottenham before next season. But without him, I will not leave until the Asian tour as there is a risk of a big problem with the tour organizers. If Son Heung-min does not participate in the Korean tour, the penalty is known to be around 2 million pounds.

As expected, Son Heung-min was included in the list. Son was named alongside Christian Romero, James Maddison, Pedro Porro, Brennan Johnson, Dominique Solanke, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, Mickey van der Penn, Ben Davies, Guglielmo Vicario and Hishalisson. Yang Min-hyuk, who returned from a successful lease at the Queens Park Rangers (QPR), was also included. Yang Min-hyuk faced Tottenham as a member of the team's K League last year, and he will play in a Tottenham uniform this year. Mohamed Kudus, who is wearing a Tottenham uniform this summer, will also be with him.

Nine players were excluded. The key Destiny Udoghi and Dejan Kulusevski remain in the UK to recover from their injuries. Japanese Supernova center back Kota Takai, who was hired as the highest transfer fee in the J-League this summer, was also unable to join Manor Solomon and Radu Dragushin due to injury. Mikey Moore, Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett have been removed from the list as they are in negotiations for a loan transfer.

Spain As said, `Son Heung-min is LA FC's top target this summer,' adding that `LA FC's board of directors is making great efforts to recruit Son Heung-min, and the desire for him is very clear. Recently, LA FC general manager John Sorrington visited England to recruit Son Heung-min' he said.

He also reported quite specific negotiations. `To negotiate with Son Heung-min, Torrington did not attend the joint owner's announcement event held a few weeks ago,' As said."This negotiation was planned a few weeks ago.' Finally, `LAFC is coordinating the final details of the contract with Tottenham and Son Heung-min.` The expected timing of Son's joining is August.
