'Son Farewell x Palhinha Signs'

1 hour 40 minutes

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Richard Cracknell, Jaon McGovern and Marlon as our visit to Asia ended in in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United on an emotional evening for skipper Heung-Min Son, appearing in his hometown just a day after announcing his intention to leave the Club.

Following Thursday’s defeat of Arsenal in Hong Kong, we rounded off this year’s pre-season tour with a competitive clash against the Magpies in Seoul, South Korea, with Brennan Johnson’s early goal cancelled out by Harvey Barnes in the Coupang Play Series.

Following his announcement on Saturday, Son was selected to start by new Head Coach Thomas Frank and wore the armband at a venue he knows so well as captain of his country, with his substitution from the pitch in the 64th minute a poignant moment.

Unfortunately though, James Maddison left the pitch on a stretcher in the closing stages after pulling up with no-one around him, clearly in distress.

Spurs also announced the signing of João Palhinha on loan from FC Bayern, subject to international clearance and work permit.

The 30-year-old Portugal international joins the Club on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season with an option to make the move permanent next summer.
