Son Heung-min and Lucas Beribal are finally in the two-shot.
Tottenham released a photo of the team participating in pre-season training on its official account on the 16th (Korea time). With several players appearing, the photo of Tottenham fans cheering the most was a two-shot between Son Heung-min and Beribal.
Beribal's transfer to Tottenham was confirmed through the winter transfer market in the 2023-2024 season. Originally, Beribal was likely to move to Spain with Barcelona's interest. But Tottenham stepped in and succeeded in convincing Beribal.
Tottenham's efforts to recruit Beribal have been extremely sincere. Beribal's mother said "Tottenham's presentation was really good. Tottenham seemed to know Veribal well already, and explained why they wanted Veribal through many videos. Tottenham were clearly aware of Beribal's strengths and weaknesses. It wasn't just a suggestion to get a player in the team," he said, adding that Tottenham's efforts were really special.

It was captain Son Heung-min who contacted Beribal after he chose to transfer after being impressed by Tottenham and coach Enze Postecoglou. Son Heung-min, who was participating in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup at the time, took time to contact Veribal when he heard that a special prospect had been recruited to the club.
Veribal said "It was absolutely ridiculous. I'm from Sweden, but Son Heung-min is one of the best players in the English Premier League, and he's really a legend. Son Heung-min texted me when I signed the contract. It was a busy time because of the Asian Cup, but it was amazing that you did so."

Beribal expressed his feelings about joining the preseason, saying he wants to work with world-class players such as Son Heung-min, but he seems to have quickly become close to Son Heung-min. It is well known that Son Heung-min takes good care of young players as a captain.
Tottenham fans are also excited by the first photo of Veribal and Son Heung-min appearing together. The fans said "Verival and Son Heung-min's pre-season is going to be really greatWe really wanted to see this picture", "It's a meeting between a prospect and a legend," he said, cheering.
Beribal is a very young prospect born in 2006, but he is considered to be so talented that he has already been selected for the Swedish national team. It is a resource that can play central midfielders and strikers. Veribal is becoming famous more quickly thanks to his glamorous appearance.
Postecoglou used Beribal in the midfield in his first preseason game. Veribal is expected to play in the first team this season, so he will often match Son Heung-min on the field.
