Tottenham striker Heung-min Son to fulfill South Korean military service

Tottenham striker Heung-min Son is set to fulfill his South Korean military service.

Naver Sports reports the 27-year-old South Korean will have four weeks of training at a military base.

It was originally planned that the player's training would take place in the summer, but because of the coronavirus, a decision was made to change the timing.

In 2018, when South Korea won the Asian Games' football tournament, it allowed Son to be exempted from full service with the army for 20 months.

Son is currently in South Korea.
