Tottenham captain Son files blackmail complaint
Media reported that a woman had threatened him with a false pregnancy claim.
In addition to the report, a woman in her 20s and a man in his 40s had been arrested for allegedly extorting money from Son using the fake pregnancy claim.
“The police are currently investigating, so we will let you know the results as soon as they are available,” his agency Son & Football Limited said in a statement.
“We’d like to tell you that Son Heung-Min is clearly the victim of this incident.”
The Seoul Gangnam Police Station did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the reports.
Focus is on Europa League
Elsewhere, Son vowed to “complete” his Tottenham career by leading Tottenham to Europa League glory.
Ange Postecoglou’s side will face Manchester United in the Europa League final on May 21.
“We’ve been talking about this for years. The biggest reason I stayed at Tottenham was that I wanted to do something others couldn’t achieve,” Son said.
“That’s probably why I’m where I am now. You need all the pieces to complete a puzzle. I think I’ve gathered all the other pieces to make that puzzle complete.”
“It feels like I’ve been missing that one most important final piece, and I’ve been trying to find it for the past 10 years. I really hope I can finally complete the puzzle this time.”
“It feels different this time. I really want to win – more than anyone else, I think. So many people are supporting us with the same desperate passion I feel. If we prepare well, I believe we can achieve it.”
