Heung-min Son makes what is likely to be his final appreciate in a Tottenham shirt when Spurs play Newcastle in a pre-season friendly in South Korea. Son has confirmed he has decided to leave Spurs this summer but he will feature when Thomas Frank’s side face Newcastle in the final game of their tour of Asia, on what is sure to be an emotional day in Seoul.
Spurs are looking to build on their 1-0 win over Arsenal in Hong Kong, where there were plenty of encouraging signs ahead of the new season. With less than two weeks until Spurs face Paris Saint-Germain in the Super Cup, Frank is targeting another good display.
Newcastle are without star striker Alexander Isak amid transfer interest from Liverpool. Eddie Howe’s side have endured a difficult pre-season and Isak is back in England as he waits on a new bid from Liverpool after their opening offer of £110million was rejected this week.

"I think he's one of the legends of the Premier League. We've come up against him many times, as manager of Bournemouth early in his Tottenham career and I thought he was fantastic - his pace, his dribbling ability, his desire to score goals. I thought he was always one of the best players we played against every season.
"The biggest test, I think, for a player's ability is consistency and longevity, and he's been able to do that consistently every year. I've never spent time with him, but he seemed like an incredible professional and incredible person. So it will be a really great moment to share this last game for Tottenham against us and hopefully it's a memorable occasion."

Alexander Isak has landed back in Newcastle as the uncertain situation surrounding his future reaches crunch time.
The Swede had flown to Spain to train by himself at former club Real Sociedad’s facility while his current team-mates were on pre-season tour in Asia.
The striker had ruled himself out of this tour citing a thigh injury, although speculation continued to rumble on about whether he would remain on Tyneside beyond the summer transfer deadline.
Isak is of particular interest to Liverpool, who on Friday lodged a bid worth £110million plus add-ons, which was rejected by Newcastle.
The Magpies are reportedly after a fee in the region of £150m if they are to sell their talisman, and Eddie Howe’s side have already made moves in an attempt to sign a replacement, as they submitted an offer to RB Leizpig for Benjamin Sesko on Saturday.
Isak wants to make the switch to Anfield, and will now have an opportunity for face-to-face talks after it was revealed that he had jetted back into Newcastle following his Spanish escapade.
