Son Heung-min, a star player for Tottenham Hotspur, is currently in South Korea getting ready for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against China and Singapore.

The Taegeuk Warriors and Singapore play on Thursday, and the 31-year-old spoke with reporters prior to the game. Yonhap News Agency reports on his remarks.

The Tottenham player thinks that his background will help the country advance to the 2026 World Cup. He has also stated that he isn’t currently considering anything long-term.

“I’m just making every effort to the best of my ability in this role. I am living in the present, not in the past or the future. I’m only considering the two games,” he declared.

The experienced players in South Korea have received a strong message from the Spurs attacker: support the national team during the qualifying matches.

“The World Cup is a long way away. There are moments when you have to navigate rough terrain and moments when you veer off the well-traveled path. Skilled players need to do a good job of guarding the team. Son said, “I hope we can continue to do well until the end of the final qualifying round.

The forward has already played for South Korea in the previous three World Cups, making ten appearances while contributing three assists and three goals.

Son’s fitness was questioned following reports that he had suffered a groin injury during Tottenham’s 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers the previous weekend, according to YNA. He has refuted this suggestion and given a positive fitness update.

“During a game, someone may kick or tread on you. I occasionally kick myself. I’m in good physical condition, aside from the jet lag that keeps me from sleeping,” he continued.

Agent says Tottenham signed ‘extraordinary’ £21m player ahead of ‘everyone’

Destiny Udogie, a defender for Tottenham Hotspur, has had a strong first season in the Spurs starting lineup thus far.

The agent for a Tottenham player has now blasted the biggest clubs in Serie A for not pressing Spurs for their signing years prior.

Stefano Antonelli stated in an interview with Tuttomercatoweb that “there wasn’t the impetus” to make a deal for Udogie from Italy’s top football teams.

Udogie was predicted to become a celebrity by a number of footballers, including Fabrizio Romano, when Tottenham signed him from Udinese in 2022.

In accordance with the agreement, the 20-year-old spent the previous season in Udine. We’re finally getting to see how good he looks in a Tottenham shirt this term.

For Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs, Udogie has played in ten Premier League games and provided two assists for his teammates.

While Tottenham is benefiting from their efforts to sign Udogie, Italy’s footballing powerhouses are left to speculate about what could have been.

Only Udinese owner Gino Pozzo received praise for signing Udogie after he rose through the ranks at Hellas Verona, as Antonelli expressed his disapproval of the situation.

If there’s one thing Italian clubs still struggle with today, he told TMW, it’s having the guts to invest in young players.

“I challenge anyone to tell me which Italian club rejected Udogie. I’m inviting everyone. Everyone desired him.

Gino Pozzo was the only one who expedited the transaction. After ten months, he sold him for €26 million, having paid €2.8 million for his purchase.

He no longer has a set price for what he is doing. However, we had conversations with Juventus, Milan, and Inter.

“Destine liked by all.” Although he was wanted by all, there was not enough pressure to close the deal at that time. In Serie A, we don’t invest in Italian players.

Udogie is backed to become a Spurs legend as Tottenham strike gold.

With Udogie, Tottenham has truly struck gold. He looks like a top-tier Premier League player at just 20 years old, and Spurs acquired him for a mere £21 million (ESPN).

Udogie has performed so well that Spurs legend Micky Hazard has declared him the greatest left-back in Spurs history.

Udogie’s head coach, Gabriele Cioffi, has called them “extraordinary.”

Meanwhile, the elite of Italy have received nothing. To even get Tottenham to the negotiation table right now, they would need to make enormous offers.

Similarly, Serie A’s biggest clubs passed up on Leeds United’s Wilfried Gnonto and Guglielmo Vicario, two more players who appear capable of becoming stars for Italy.
