In an interview on Uruguayan TV, Tottenham player Rodrigo Bentancur made controversial comments about South Korean soccer player Heung-min Son. Bentancur had suggested that all people from South Korea looked the same, causing outrage. However, the midfielder later apologized for his remarks and spoke with Son, who believed there was no ill intent behind them.
Tottenham has responded to the situation by issuing a statement confirming their commitment to promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion within the club. The statement includes further education for all players to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future. The club fully supports Son’s decision to move on from the incident and focus on the upcoming season.
Tottenham is proud of its diverse fanbase and playing squads and stands firm against discrimination of any kind. The club believes that discrimination has no place at their club or in wider society. Tottenham’s next pre-season friendly is against Hearts on 17 July as they continue to prepare for the new season under manager Ange Postecoglou.
