SEOUL (Reuters) -Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has filed a complaint to South Korean police alleging he was the victim of a blackmail attempt, his agency said on Thursday, after media reports that a woman had threatened him with a false pregnancy claim.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has undergone knee surgery ahead of next week's Europa League final, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.

South Korea’s national soccer team may be stumbling toward 2026 World Cup qualification and its clubs may have struggled in the Asian Champions League but three of its biggest stars have been finding success in Europe.

Goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke appeared to have given Spurs an unassailable lead in the first leg in north London last week. However, a late strike from midfielder Ulrik Saltnes gave the Eliteserien underdogs a lifeline ahead of today's home fixture.

Son Heung-min is on course to be fit for Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final against Manchester United next week as the South Korean aims to emulate his former strike partner Harry Kane and win his first career silverware.
