It's claimed Son was approached by the woman stating she was pregnant with his child. It's reported the man and woman demanded money in exchange for staying silent.
Son is not married and has no children.
A Seoul police station has now stated a man and a woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted extortion. The pair reportedly attempted to extract several hundred million Korean won from the Tottenham star.
