After a friendly match against Tottenham at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd, Park Seung-soo (18) stomped in front of the Tottenham locker room, not Newcastle. He held the uniform he wore on this day in his hand. There was a reason. Originally, Park Seung-soo wanted to exchange uniforms with Tottenham legend Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min was Park's idol. The two are similar in many ways in that they mainly play on the left wing, have a height of more than 1m80 that is not like an Asian winger, and have fast speed and cheerful dribbling as their main weapon. Park Seung-soo, who held an official press conference the day before, said, "It could be the last time for Heungmin, so I want to exchange uniforms," he expressed his ambition.

Park Seung-soo, who had been waiting for a long time, was able to meet Son Heung-min as a Tottenham player helped him enter the locker room. I couldn't exchange the uniforms I wanted. From Son Heung-min's point of view, it was inevitably a special uniform as it was his last game at Tottenham. Park Seung-soo said, `It's kind of weird to ask for the last uniform in Heung-min's last game. That's why we couldn't exchange it."

Still, he smiled. It's because I got an autograph instead. He showed off his uniform to the reporters. An innocent smile was an innocent teenager. Park Seung-soo, who achieved Son Heung-min's signature and Newcastle's debut, wrapped up his dream-like tour in Korea. Park Seung-soo confirmed his transfer to Newcastle on the 24th of last month. Park Seung-soo, who broke the youngest record in the K-League, became the 20th Korean and the youngest Premier Leaguer. Just in time, Newcastle took the opportunity quickly as they went on a tour of Korea. Park Seung-soo, who emerged as the main character of the club's first visit to Korea by appearing at the arrival hall with the Korean national flag, played both games that Newcastle played in Korea.




Park Seung-soo, who performed impressively in the match against 'Team K League' held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 30th of last month, also caught the eye with his fearless play against Tottenham. After the game, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe also said, `I felt that Park was quite a talented player. It was impressive to see him training without fear. There was not much time. He was put into two games this time, and he was impressive both on the field and on the training ground. made me look forward to the future," he said with a thumbs up.

On the day Son Heung-min left, Park Seung-soo, who shined, expressed his ambition for 'post Son Heung-min'. "Every player admits Son Heung-min is a real world class. It would not have been an easy decision to leave Tottenham, but thank you so much for leading our country's soccer,' said Park Seung-soo, who thanked Son Heung-min `I want to be a player recognized by everyone. A world-class player is my dream. I will work toward that dream."

Park Seung-soo, who returned to Newcastle, is expected to adapt to the Newcastle U-21 team rather than renting to other teams. Newcastle planned to raise Park with a card of 'Homegrown (a system that recognizes him as a self-developed player, not a foreign player, if he trains at an English club for three years before the age of 21).' However, considering his performance on this tour, his entry into the first team may be faster than expected.
