South Korean national soccer team captain Son Heung-min (33) declined to comment on rumors of his transfer.
The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, won 4-0 against Kuwait at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 10th thanks to the opponent's own goal and consecutive goals by Lee Kang-in, Oh Hyun-kyu and Lee Jae-sung in the final 10th game of Group B of the Asian qualifying round for the FIFA 2026 North-China World Cup.
Having secured a berth to advance to the World Cup finals for 11 consecutive times by winning the match against Iraq, Korea has also confirmed its No. 1 ranking in the group with six wins and four draws (22 points). Kuwait has placed itself at the bottom of the six teams with five draws and five losses (five points).
Son Heung-min, who was excluded from the list due to injury issues in the match against Iraq on the 6th, was deployed in the 30th minute of the second half with a 4-0 lead on the day and played for about 15 minutes. He did not raise the offensive point, but as a captain of the national team, he played the last game of the preliminary round with his teammates, achieving a successful ending.

"I'm going to the World Cup, which was my goal. I'll prepare well so that I can have a good tournament," he said, expressing his determination for the World Cup.
When asked about his physical condition, he said, "It's okay. I'm so grateful that the coach protected me at this convocation." He added, "It's not 100 percent, but I wanted to say hello to many fans."
He then met Son at the joint coverage area. Son, who won the UEFA Europa League title, finished this season safely. The national team also finished the final preliminary round well, leaving a milestone of advancing to the finals for 11 consecutive World Cups.
Son Heung-min said, "I think I achieved everything (this season) by playing soccer that I wanted to play. Soccer is played to win, and only the winners are remembered. It wasn't an easy season, but it was a happy season as I experienced the championship that I longed for from a young age."
He declined to comment on the transfer rumor. Recently, rumors of Son moving to Saudi Arabia's multiple teams have been raised. When asked if he will remain at Tottenham next season, he replied, "I think it's right to wait rather than say anything here because I still have a contract left."
He added, "I'm quite curious about many people, including reporters and fans. Rather than thinking about the future, I think it would be better to see what will happen in my current position." 스포츠토토
