Tottenham is likely to visit South Korea again this summer.
British media Daily Mail said on the 4th (Korea time) that "Newcastle United is discussing how to hold a pre-season friendly match with Tottenham at the Seoul World Cup Stadium." It also added that if Son Heung-min plays, the 66,000-seat Seoul World Cup Stadium will be full of spectators.
If Tottenham visits Korea this time, it will be its third visit to Korea in the last four years, following 2022 and 2024. Tottenham first entered Korea through the Coupang Play series in 2022. At that time, they sold out both the K-League All-Star Game and the K-League All-Star Game against Sevilla. In 2024, they played two matches against Bayern Munich, where Kim Min-jae belongs, and the K-League All-Star. Again, they succeeded in attracting spectators.
If this summer's tour actually takes place, another big hit is expected. As Son Heung-min's future is uncertain recently, fans have no choice but to want to see him play in Tottenham's uniform more.
In addition, Yang Min-hyuk, a promising second-tier player, is likely to be included as a member of the Tottenham tour. For the first time, Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk, dubbed the "second Son Heung-min," can be seen playing in the same uniform.
Newcastle's plans for an Asian tour have already been announced by the British media.
According to iNews, the U.K. on Thursday, Newcastle will tour Asia including Singapore and Korea at the end of July. It is Newcastle's first visit to Korea.
Newcastle originally set Hong Kong as its tour destination, but reportedly changed its direction to Korea due to overlapping schedules with other clubs. The team is seeking a tour that ties Singapore with Korea. 바카라
"Newcastle is scheduled to play two games in Korea. The opponent is likely to be Tottenham and K-League All-Star," the Daily Mail reported.
"In Singapore, a showdown with Arsenal is expected, but the entire schedule has not yet been finalized," he added.
