BREAKING NEWS: SON HUENG-MIN LANDS IN DUBAI

Tottenham Hotspur star forward Son Heung-Min has left touched down in Dubai on Monday to hand Korea Republic’s ongoing AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 campaign a major boost.

The 26-year-old, who has missed his country’s opening two matches at the Continental extravaganza, arrived in the Emirates after playing for club side Tottenham Hotspur in their English Premier League encounter with Manchester United a day earlier.

Without Son, the Taeguk Warriors – seeking to claim their first AFC Asian Cup title since 1960 – have recorded successive victories, beating the Philippines 1-0 and Kyrgyz Republic by a similar scoreline.
