Son Heung-min scored a goal from the first game of this pre-season. On the 13th (Korea time), Tottenham played a closed practice game against League 1's Cambridge United at Tottenham's training ground. Gambridge was ranked 18th last season. It was a closed practice game, but Football London, which specializes in Tottenham news, delivered the results.
Tottenham finished the first half 5-0 and the second half 2-2, winning 7-2. Son Heung-min is said to have scored two goals in the first half alone. Football London said Brennan Johnson scored a hat-trick in the first half and Son Heung-min scored twice.
Son Heung-min left for London, England, on the 7th after completing a three-week domestic break. Son Heung-min, who immediately joined the team, celebrated the club's birthday. Tottenham even made a special tribute video with the phrase "'ALEGEND IS BORN'. In addition, Tottenham also released a video titled 「Tottenham captain」 that shows Son Heung-min's appearance as if he is moving by connecting it with a picture.
There was also a special event. Tottenham also produced a video of leaving a birthday message for Son Heung-min to players entering the training ground. Starting with vice-captain James Maddison, many Tottenham players, including Hishalisson, Fraser Forster, Timo Werner, Pedro Porro, Emerson Royal, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr and Sergio Reguilon, left birthday messages for Son Heung-min on camera. 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.
He also made steady progress in preparing for the season. He exploded multiple goals from the first game and announced his best condition.

Tottenham, which opened with an unofficial practice game, will play six friendlies this summer. Tottenham will move to East Asia after facing Hearts (Scotland) on the 18th and Queens Park Rangers (QPR, England) on the 20th. On the 27th, he will return to Korea after a friendly match with last year's J-League champion Vissel Kobe at the Tokyo National Stadium. After two years, I'm going to play 'Coupang Play Series'.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham will play the first game against 'Team K League' at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 31st of this month. At 8 p.m. on August 3, he will face Bayern Munich, where Kim Min-jae, the core of South Korean soccer defense, plays at the same stadium. After the Asian tour, Tottenham will play its second friendly match against Bayern again in England on the 11th of that month. Tottenham, which concludes its pre-season friendly schedule with this game, will immediately begin preparing for the opening of the 2024-2025 season.
Son Heung-min is making a lot of noise due to the recent renewal issue, but he plans to focus on preparing for the season. In the UK, it is more likely to invoke a one-year extension option than the long-term contract renewal originally discussed. The contract period between Son Heung-min and Tottenham is until summer 2025. If Tottenham implement a one-year extension option, they will be wearing Tottenham uniforms until the summer of 2026.
Tottenham begin the new season with their first game against Leicester City on August 20. Son Heung-min scored 17 goals and 10 assists last season, making it his third 10-10 entry in the English Premier League (EPL). Son Heung-min, who has performed very well with his captain's armband, is trying to advance to the European Champions League in the new season.
