Son's Spurs to play in South Korea on pre-season tour
Tottenham Hotspur will play a K League XI in the South
Korean capital Seoul on July 13, the club said, as Premier League teams return
to lucrative overseas tours stopped due to Covid-19.
Korean forward Son Heung-min and England international
striker Harry Kane will be the star attractions when Spurs face a selection of
the best players from South Korea's top league.
Antonio Conte's side will also play a second
pre-season friendly in South Korea, with details to be announced "in due
course".
Spurs have built a strong following in South Korea
because of their Korean international Son and this will be their third visit to
the country.
Premier League teams are set to embark on a series of
money-spinning international tours this summer, having put them on hold over
the past two years because of the pandemic.
Also in July, Manchester United will play fierce
rivals Liverpool in Bangkok before flying off to Australia.
United, who look likely to be under the management of
Dutchman Erik ten Hag by then, will play fellow Premier League side Crystal
Palace in Melbourne.
