Jürgen Klopp wants Korean after World Cup qualifier

The World Cup in Qatar can boast its first Round of 16 invitees once the top 16 teams meet in a head-to-head clash this weekend. Among this elite group of national teams is South Korea, who surprised with some great football in their group to qualify by finishing second in Sector H.

With a surprising result against Portugal and star player Heung-Min Son, the 'White Tigers' are looking to emulate the historic tournament they had at home, when in 2002 they finished third in the competition. Son's talent has attracted the interest of several clubs in Europe, including Liverpool FC, who would welcome the striker.

Klopp has highlighted that Son is a player who is a real threat in the box, and with his 30 years of Bundesliga experience, Tottenham Hotspur have put a price tag of between 75 million and 90 million on the striker. Son has a contract with the English capital team until 2025, but with an excellent World Cup, his agent could place him in a better Premier League team, such as The Pool.

Despite his age, Son still has good seasons to live, and more, knowing the same English League where he arrived in 2015 after the 30 million that 'Spurs' paid to Bayern Leverkusen for him. Prior to that, Son played for Hamburger S.V., where he had been since 2009, interspersed with spells with his home club Seoul FC in South Korea, who gave him his debut in 2008.

Son surprised Klopp

Son is now an important part of South Korea's run to the Round of 16, and they face Brazil on Monday in what will be a back-and-forth match because of the speed both teams have shown in the past three rounds. The Reds will be keeping a close eye on Son's performances, hoping that with his record and reputation, they can convince Heung-Min Son to move on in the next transfer window.
