Son returned to London club early

As Son Heung-min returned to the club ahead of time a boost was allegedly handed to Tottenham Hotspur ahead of their clash with Manchester City.

Son has been away with South Korea on international duty and took part in the 2-1 victory over Qatar on Tuesday.

There were worries that the 28-year-old would have to self-isolate in his homeland after a coronavirus epidemic in the South Korean team.

However, with Spurs lay on a private jet, Son checked negative and was granted permission to travel back to Britain, announced the Evening Standard.
