Gazzamercato.it reports that Heung Min Son and Shinji Okazaki were targeted by Erick Thohir when he bought the club in 2013 to grow the club in Eastern Asia. At the time Son and Okazaki were plying their trade with Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz respectively but now play for Tottenham and Leicester. A missed opportunity it would seem but with the introduction of Suning, who’ve grown the club in China the blow has been softened.

My korean friends hail him as Sonaldo LOL
Too bad this Sonaldo guy could be forced to take two years off in order to serve in the South Korean army. Two Fukin’ years off LOL
what?? Really?
Son is a miss, okazaki… Naahh
son will be good for inter, on and off the field
Should go for ki sung yong, i think he is quite good
Son will take military service for next (almost) two years, cmiiw
I really like Son. He caught my eye in the olympics and he’s carrying that form into the premier league this season. Would’ve been a good buy, wouldve gave thohir a reason to get rid of lord Naga bumbass
the language barrier would be a bitch
lol true but idnt think for us it would be. Our coach speaks english, nd i think spanish lol and Son is doing fine in the premier league so he must understand a lil english
it would be a smart move.. too bad it didn’t happen
