Tottenham’s Son finishes his basic military training in South Korea

• Son's graduation ceremony was closed to the public, due to social distancing rules in place in South Korea to combat coronavirus.

Tottenham Hotspurs star Heung-Min Son has completed his three-week basic military training in South Korea, ending up among top five cadets out of 157 in his drill.

The forward, who entered the Marine Corp training camp in Jeju – the southern island – on April 20, finished with a perfect record in shooting.

Son's graduation ceremony was closed to the public, due to social distancing rules in place in South Korea to combat coronavirus.

The 27-year-old earned exemption from the full 21 months of military service by helping South Korea to win football gold in the Asian Games in 2018.

Son must still complete some community service obligations by 2023 in order to fully complete his military duties.

He decided to carry out his military training while the Premier League is suspended due to coronavirus.

The footballer will return to London next week, but will have to quarantine for two weeks, as per government guidelines.
