Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to Son Heung-min winning the Asian Games with South Korea.

Son was part of the South Korea team that won against Japan in the Asian Games football final on Saturday.

Paulo Bento’s side got the better of Japan 2-1 in the final to win the prestigious competition.

South Korea’s success means that Son will avoid military service for his country, as reported by BBC Sport.

The 26-year-old will now not have to worry about carrying out the two-year mandatory military service for South Korea.

Son is a very important player for Tottenham and has established himself as a key figure in manager Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

Tottenham fans on Twitter are delighted that Son has won the Asian Games football tournament with South Korea.

Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld has also taken to Twitter to congratulate Son, who joined Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £22 million.
