Spurs already wanted another attacking midfielder even before this incident, having tried to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest until he opted to pen a new contract. Therefore, we think the injury to James Maddison could now see Tottenham advance their interest in another target – Bilal El Khannouss.

The game in South Korea was billed as Son Heung-min’s grand farewell after the Spurs captain announced his decision to leave north London. The 33-year-old forward trotted off the pitch to a standing ovation in the 65th minute ahead of what is expected to be a record-breaking move to LAFC.
