Anderton and Sheringham | Spurs legends on Euro 96 and facing Holland again in Euro 2024  Tottenham Hotspur

On the day of his 32nd birthday, Heung-Min Son was welcomed back to well wishes, big embraces and even a surprise gift box as he reported for pre-season at Hotspur Way.

Our Club captain returned on Monday (8 July) following a well-earned summer break after international commitments with South Korea kept him in action until 11 June, captaining his nation to victories over Singapore and China in World Cup qualifiers to move to 127 caps and 48 goals in the process.

Spending quality time back home in South Korea after the conclusion of last season, Sonny was then given a proper send off from adoring fans in Seoul as he received birthday cards and blew out a candle on a cake at Incheon International Airport.

Keeping up the birthday celebrations upon his arrival in north London, the forward - who registered 17 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League last term and enjoyed a milestone campaign that saw him take his overall Spurs appearances to 408 - was surprised with balloons and also birthday messages from teammates old and new at our Enfield training base.

After receiving celebratory hugs from members of the playing squad, our number seven got back to business with gym work before heading out on the grass for some on-pitch drills as the spirits looked on point in pre-season training.

Sonny will be returning to Seoul for the second part of our summer tour to Asia which sees us first visit Japan and then onto South Korea at the end of July and into August. Until then, Ange Postecoglou's side continue to train at Hotspur Way with away friendlies against Scottish side Heart of Midlothian and Championship outfit Queen's Park Rangers coming before our pre-season tour of Asia begins in Tokyo.

The Friday Quiz | 05.07.2024  Tottenham Hotspur

Legendary former defender Jan Vertonghen has announced his retirement from international football.

Belgium's record appearance maker, Jan has called time on his international career after earning 157 caps for his country since his debut back in June, 2007.

A much-loved player during his eight years in north London, Jan joined us from Dutch side Ajax in the summer of 2012 and went on to make over 300 appearances for us in an incredible period of growth for the Club before departing in 2020.

Playing for in two major cup finals, including the 2019 Champions League Final, the defender was a core part of that team and became a fan favourite during his time in north London.

He was also part of a golden generation for the Belgium national team, helping them to qualify for three consecutive World Cup finals (2014, 2018 and 2022) after the Red Devils had missed the 2002 and 2006 editions. They finished third at Russia 2018.

He also helped them qualify for three consecutive European Championship finals from 2016 to 2024, most recently starting in their Euro 2024 quarter-final defeat to France.

Congratulations Jan on a fantastic career!

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was named the official UEFA Euro 2024 Player of the Match for his endeavours in Denmark's 1-1 draw with England on Thursday night.

Starting once more for his nation at the continental tournament in Germany, the midfielder was at his commanding best in the heart of the Danish midfielder, marshalling it majestically against Group C leaders England.

Claiming his 79th cap of his international career, our number five dominated on the pitch and that was reflected in the statistics. All over the pitch for his country, Pierre enjoyed 7.4 per cent possession of the ball in the game - the most of any player - while he also played 83 passes - again, the most of any player on the park. He also attempted nine tackles - the most of any player - and was successful with six of them - once more, the most of any player. He also made three interceptions - and, yes. You guessed it. The most of any player.

And, while he dominated in the defensive numbers, he also showed his potency in front of goal as he took on more shots than any other player (six) with four of them on target - no player managed more.
