New Tottenham hero Son said thankyou with Korean BBQ!

Tottenham's Korean star Son Heung-min has shown his appreciation for his new club by bringing traditional food from his homeland to Spurs' training ground.


The 23-year-old said the gesture was a way of saying thank you to everyone who has made him feel so welcome at White Hart Lane since joining Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen for £22million this summer.

"I wanted to say thank you to my colleagues and staff for welcoming me to Tottenham and I wanted to introduce Korean food and culture to the players," Son told Sky Sports.

"That's why I brought it in.

"It was traditional Korean food including barbecue, seafood pancakes and various different foods from Korea.

"They loved it so much, especially the coach. He had so many plates!

"I would like to do it again if there is a chance.

"I ordered it from a very famous Korean restaurant in London, they organised everything. It is called Bibigo restaurant in Soho."
