The Spurs international will be required to enrol in the military unless he is able to win the Asian Games with South Korea
There is much more than just a gold medal at stake for Tottenham star Son Heung-min when heads into the Asian Games final against Japan on Saturday.
The South Korea winger headed into the tournament with the threat of military service looming, but he can avoid that fate and return to Premier League action with Spurs as a national hero if he helps his side to victory.
As one of three players over the Under-23 age limit, the former Bayer Leverkusen player has taken on a key role at the tournament in Indonesia after an impressive World Cup.
