Tottenham is looking for Son Heung-min

Although Son Heung-min has yet to be listed for the game, fans of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. welcomed, chanting his name.

Having completed the deal with Tottenham in the English Premier League (EPL), Son Heung-min (aged 23) made his first debut to English viewers of football games. Tottenham had a match against Everton who made the trip to the capital at White Hart Lane on Sunday (KST). Greeting fans in his Spurs’ uniform, Son watched the game in the stand with his father Son Ung-jeong. Prior to this, the club began promoting its new player by posting the video that shows Son’s taking medical check-ups, training and whole process to join the team on its website. Scoring a total of 20 shoots including six shot on goal, the team remained winless, ending the match 0-0 (three draws and one loss).

In the absence of troubleshooter, the expectation gets even higher for Son. “He is young but has played in Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League. We need to maintain the performance, this is the right way and we’re not worried because when Christian Eriksen, Clinton Njie and Son Heung-min are available it’s a strong squad, said manager Mauricio Pochettino. "It doesn’t matter on which position he will play as he can play various roles." Son is expected to make his EPL debut match against Sunderland A.F.C. on September 13.

Returning to Korea on Monday, Son will join national team’s training. As he has to complete some document work for his moving to Spurs, such as issuing English working visa, manager Uli Stielike of Korea national football team decided to appoint Son only for the warm-up match against Laos slated for September 3. For this reason, he will not join the team who visits Lebanon on September 8. On the other hand, Park Joo-ho (aged 28), who has moved from Mainz to Dortmund in the Bundesliga, will not run for Laos match but join the Lebanon game.
