Spurs news: Heung-min Son addresses Tottenham return in January after Randal Kolo Muani injury

The former Spurs skipper has been linked with a loan return to north London

Heung-min Son has addressed rumours linking him with a return to Tottenham in January.

The former Spurs captain, who last season guided the club to their first major trophy in 17 years, joined Major League Soccer side LAFC over the summer.

Son has hit the ground running in Los Angeles, scoring 10 goals and adding three assists in 12 games to date.

The league season concludes in December with the MLS Cup, which Son's LAFC remain in contention to win, before the 2026 campaign begins in February.

That break would allow Son to return to Spurs on loan in January to maintain his fitness, which the likes of Thierry Henry and David Beckham did during their spells in north America.

But Son is not interested in a loan move away from LA, not in January "or ever", and does not wish to disrespect his current club with transfer talk.

He told TV Chosun: "I've never spoken to any club about a winter move. Such talk is simply untrue. For me, showing respect to my club and giving everything where I play — that's what matters most. That won't change.

"I won't leave LAFC this winter, or ever, while I'm here. I respect this club deeply. As long as I'm wearing this badge, there will be no such thing as a loan or a move. Never.

"I know fans get confused when rumours fly, but those stories aren't true. And honestly, it might be disrespectful to my team to even talk that way. I love this club, and I have huge respect for everyone here."
