Tottenham forward Heung-min Son has donated around £100,000 in aid of fire victims in South Korea.
A deadly forest blaze has swept across the north-eastern region of the country, with two people confirmed dead.

He guided the country to glory at the Asian Games last year, which saw him avoid military service, and also captained the national side to a 2-0 victory over Germany at the 2018 World Cup.
