Son Heung-min immediately reported a score in an unofficial game after his return to Tottenham.
England's Football London reported on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) 'Enze Postecoglou and the team showed great performance in a match without spectators with many goals against Cambridge United'
Tottenham won a huge 7-2 friendly against Cambridges United on the training pitch. In that game, Son Heung-min scored multiple goals after his first half start, and Brennan Johnson scored a hat trick. Tottenham played several main players in the first half, and later gave several players, including second-tier prospects, a chance to check the team ahead of the pre-season.
Football London invited Cambridge United to start pre-season training. The first half ended 5-0 and the second half ended 2-2. Johnson scored a hat trick and Son Heung-min scored two goals in the first half. Pedro Porro, Yves Bissouma and Dejan Kulusevski all competed in the first half, with James Maddison, Timo Werner and Oliver Skipp on the second half of the list. 'The defense team, which failed to participate in Christian Romero, Mickey Panderpen, and Radu Dragusin, lacked options, so young players also used them.'"
It was then reported that "Jed Spence and Sergio Reguilon trained with the squad this week, but did not participate in this game because they were not included in the next season's plans. Hishalisson was also seen watching the match from the bench, but it is unclear if he has participated'

In his first game since returning to Tottenham, Son Heung-min raised the mood by scoring despite his short playing time. Son Heung-min, who played as Tottenham's front-line striker last season, is likely to return to the front line and as a left winger following his recruitment work this summer. However, no matter which player is recruited, Son Heung-min's performance is the most important part for Tottenham. Starting with this score, if he maintains good performance throughout the preseason, expectations for his next season's performance are expected to soar further.
It was the participation of freshman prospects that received as much attention as Son Heung-min's multi-goal. Football London's Archie Gray and Lucas Beribal first appeared in Tottenham uniforms. Alejo Bellis and Dane Scarlett also played as strikers throughout the game. The four players are prospects Tottenham have a long-term plan to look forward to.
With this unofficial victory, Tottenham will be able to proceed with the pre-season schedule in a more pleasant mood. Tottenham began pre-season training on the 6th, and all players except those who are resting after participating in Euro 2024 and the 2024 Copa America are currently in the squad.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min returned to Tottenham after a vacation and domestic schedule on the 8th and began a full-fledged pre-season schedule.
The first stage of the preseason schedule was birthday celebration. For Son Heung-min, who was born on July 8, 1992, Tottenham immediately held a birthday event. He posted a happy birthday post for Son Heung-min on the club's SNS and even made a special tribute video with the phrase 'ALEEND IS BORN'. There was also a special event. Tottenham produced a video of leaving a birthday message for Son Heung-min to the players entering the training ground.
In the video, Son Heung-min opened the balloon himself in the box to check after his teammates' congratulations, and did not forget to thank him for the congratulatory message. Since then, he has also shared birthday posts from Tottenham and Madison on his personal SNS, expressing his gratitude for the celebration.
Since then, the training video has also been released. Son Heung-min is glad to meet his close teammates and appears to be preoccupied with preparing for the season again by working with Sergio Reguilon, Pape Sarr and Timo Werner at indoor and outdoor training sites.
After the unofficial match, Tottenham and Son Heung-min's first pre-season schedule will be a pre-season game against Hearts in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 18th. After that, on the 20th, they will play a friendly match against the Queens Park Raiders.
At the end of July, he will start his Asian tour with Japan. In Korea, games against Team K League and Bayern Munich will also be held on the 31st and August 3rd, respectively. After completing the pre-season schedule, Tottenham is expected to begin its challenge to win the title once again with Son Heung-min, starting with the first round match of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season against Leicester City on August 20.
