Ange Postecoglou and Son Heung-min press conference LIVE – Spurs boss on transfers, Yang and Gil
The Tottenham Hotspur boss and captain are speaking to the media out in Seoul after the club’s pre-season tour reached South Korea
Ange Postecoglou and Son Heung-min are speaking to the media on Tuesday ahead of Tottenham’s pre-season friendly against Team K League in Seoul on Wednesday.
Spurs have now moved on from Tokyo, Japan to return to Son’s homeland, where they were welcomed by 2,000 fans at Incheon International Airport. Now they will face Team K League on Wednesday at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul before playing Bayern Munich on Saturday.
Postecoglou is set to face questions about the transfer window, the arrival of 18-yearold South Korean winger Yang Min-hyeok and the departure of Bryan Gil on loan, following on from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s exit from the club.
Son is also likely to speak about Yang, who has been making a big impact in the K League this season but is yet to make a senior appearance for the South Korea international side. The teenager will join Spurs in January from Gangwon as the most expensive player to move directly from Korea to Europe.
Our Tottenham reporter Alasdair Gold is out in Seoul and among those putting the questions to Postecoglou and Son at the World Cup Stadium. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference.
The Spurs boss on team news
From the other night, everyone is ok. Timo is available. Ben Davies got through fine. Ash Phillips is a bit sore so we’ll have to see whether he can play. Radu has joined us now and he’s been training. Destiny will train today but obviously he won’t play tomorrow. Richy is still a few days away
