Son Heung-min, who finished the season after the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup, stayed in Korea for about six weeks, rested, and played various schedules. Son Heung-min left for London, England through Incheon International Airport's second passenger terminal on the morning of the 7th. Son Heung-min plans to join Tottenham and improve his physical condition in earnest.
Son Heung-min had a busy schedule in Korea. On the 5th, he appeared at a soccer field in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, and played against a team of ordinary people. More than 2,000 people gathered to see him, and the police were dispatched. Fortunately, there were no major accidents.
On the 6th, he appeared at an event to commemorate the release of F50 soccer shoes by his sponsor Adidas. Son Heung-min once again summarized the 'Walkle debate' here. Son Heung-min said, `The world class should not be controversial. The argument itself is because I'm not a world class." When asked to choose what he wants to achieve the most among 'Tottenham's league win', 'Tottenham's European Champions League win', and 'Korea's World Cup semifinal re-enactment', 'All sports are about remembering WINNER and WINNER being left behind. I really want to try the 4th round of the World Cup, but I always want to be WINNER. I'll choose to win"If it was a World Cup victory, I would have chosen the World Cup. Of course, I really want to advance to the World Cup semifinals," he smiled.
Son Heung-min has a visit to Korea this summer, but has returned to the UK for now. Tottenham will play six friendly matches 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 will start the new season with a match 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.
