Tottenham's squad sweated it out at the Hotspur Way training ground in Enfield, England, on the 15th (Korean time). After a day of rest, they entered full training.
Son Heung-min's presence was marked at the training ground. He warmly welcomed the newly joined Mohammed Kudus. Kudus, who transferred from West Ham for £55 million (about 102.1 billion won), finished his medical tests and officially faced the Tottenham players.
The training session garnered significant attention simply due to Son Heung-min's return to training amid transfer rumors.
Tottenham and Son Heung-min have a contract that runs until the summer of 2026, leaving exactly one year. "Football London" reported that the possibility of Son leaving Tottenham this summer is higher than ever. "The Times" also noted, "Tottenham is willing to sell Son Heung-min."
Due to their summer tour schedule in Asia, Tottenham is expected to be with Son Heung-min at least until early August. Tottenham plans to visit Hong Kong and Korea for preseason games.
Coach Frank is set to hold his first official press conference this coming Friday. In this event, there is a good chance that a more concrete direction regarding Son Heung-min's future will emerge.
Meanwhile, a person surnamed Davis, who was helping Kudus adapt right next to him at the training ground, did not hold back on offering advice. They rode bicycles side by side and had many conversations. Kudus listened attentively to what he said.
Son Heung-min's close friend Davis's future is also uncertain, but he was proactive in helping his new teammate.
Mikey Moore's return also drew attention. He participated in the European Championship as part of the England Under-19 (U19) national team. After being eliminated in the group stage, he returned to training after taking additional rest.
20-year-old prospect Jamie Doughty also stood out. After spending last season on loan at Leyton Orient, he demonstrated an exquisite left-footed through pass that led to a teammate's goal in a mini-goal small game.
Kudus actively integrated into the team throughout the training. He shared a delightful moment with Djed Spence during rondo training and burst into laughter at Romero's jokes after the training ended. He also showed intimacy by hugging Son Heung-min. He received a warm welcome from goalkeeper Vicario and was spotted moving alongside Yang Min-hyuk.
British media "Football London" reported, "From the first training, the Tottenham squad had an atmosphere welcoming Kudus. The mood of the team is positive ahead of the first preseason game."
