Tottenham midfielder Kulusevski: I'll never forget this South Korea tour

Tottenham midfielder Dejan Kulusevski says their tour of South Korea has been a lifetime highlight.

'Deki', like the rest of his team-mates and the travelling party, was blown away by the level of the support for Spurs in Seoul.

“It felt very good to be back," he told the club's website. “It was a lot of fun to play again. It didn't feel like a friendly, it felt more like an important Champions League game! Right now, in football, everyone wants to win - every training session, every day. We're working a lot, but still, we have to perform in these matches. I hope the next one (Rangers, Saturday, 3pm) will be even better and physically, we'll be even better."

The players felt a strong presence of support wherever they moved in Seoul, from arriving at Incheon Airport last Sunday, their hotel base, every training session, and a combined 110,000 attendance for the matches all the way to the departure lounge on Sunday.

“It was amazing here," added Deki. “It's going to be a memory for the whole of my life. They are fantastic people here, and it's a fantastic country. I hope we'll be back. It's been amazing on tour, coming closer to the team and having a lot of fun. The key to everything is having fun, so we'll keep having fun with it."
