A woman in her 20s and a man in his 40s are being investigated by police in Seoul on charges of attempted extortion, according to the Yonhap News Agency and The Korea Times. Son reportedly said that they falsely told him the woman was pregnant in an effort to extort several hundred million won from him. One British pound is roughly equivalent to 1, 859 South Korean won. His legal team claim that she claimed she was pregnant in June last year and demanded money in return for remaining silent. The Tottenham captain filed his complaint to police last week. Son, 32, does not have a wife or any known children.

The ordeal comes as something of a distraction as Tottenham seek to win their first silverware in 17 years. Spurs are targeting Champions League qualification via their Europa League final clash with Manchester United on May 21.
