Tottenham released the 'two-shot' of Son Heung-min (32) and Swedish supernova Lucas Beribal (18) on the club's SNS on the 16th (Korea time). The two posed with their thumbs up before training. Son Heung-min also hung Veribal and 'two-shot' on his SNS gate.
Tottenham acquired Beribal from the winter transfer market earlier this year. The contract period is until June 2029. The transfer fee was 8.5 million pounds (about 15.3 billion won).
It was a surprise twist. Sweden's proud wonderkid showed interest in Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal in the English Premier League, as well as Juventus and Inter Milan in Italy.
In particular, Spain's Barcelona was close to signing. Beribal visited Barcelona and met with Director Deku, and also visited the stadium and clubhouse.
But his choice was Tottenham. Tottenham rated Beribal as an immediate and available 'generational talent' He was selected for Sweden at the age of 17.
Veribal, who made his professional debut at Swedish IF Bromapoykarna in 2022, moved to Jurgodens in September of that year. He played an active role in the league and Europa Conference League in the 2022-2023 season. There were no commas last season either.
Veribal, a central midfielder, is said to have excellent footwork, pass accuracy, impressive tackle, and speed in a narrow space. In particular, he is attracting attention as a player who will succeed the lineage of a handsome midfielder with a tall height of 1m87 and a handsome face.
Son Heung-min encountered Beribal's 'Official' during his participation in the Qatar Asian Cup. Son Heung-min sent a congratulatory text message 'Welcome to Tottenham' and it is rumored that Beribal was moved.
Beribal started his new life as a Tottenham player on July 1. He also finally met Son Heung-min. Tottenham fans are screaming happily in comments such as 'new fatal partnership', 'minam duo', 'This is what I've been waiting for, Sonny and Lucas two shots'
Tottenham will play Hearts in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 18th for the first official pre-season of the 2023-2024 season. Son Heung-min scored two goals in an unofficial practice game against Cambridge United in League 1 (division 3) on the 13th, leading his team to a 7-2 victory.
He is already interested in playing with Veribal in the preseason.
