Son Heung-min returning to Tottenham as South Korea eliminated from Asian Cup

Image
Son Heung-min will soon return to Tottenham Hotspur after his South Korea side were surprisingly dumped out of the Asian Cup on Tuesday. Always among the favourites to win the competition, South Korea fell 2-0 to Jordan in one of the biggest surprises of the tournament. Qatar or Iran await in the final. While an obvious blow to Son and South Korea, Spurs fans will undoubtedly be keen to see their star forward back at club level slightly sooner than expected. Brighton & Hove Albion are Spurs' next opponents on February 10, which will likely come too soon for Son, but the visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers seven days later may be a realistic return date for the 31-year-old. Spurs had been scheduled to face Chelsea in the final week of February but that Game has been postponed due to the Blues' involvement in the Carabao Cup final.

Italy displays returned antiquities looted from London dealer Symes

Italy is displaying hundreds of antiquities that were looted from Italian territory and were recovered from a London antiquities dealer ROME -- Italy on Wednesday displayed hundreds of antiquities that had been looted from Italian territory and were recovered from a London antiquities dealer. The 750 objects, which date from the 8th century BC and the medieval period, include an Etruscan three-legged bronze table, marble busts of men from the imperial age, and wall paintings that are believed to be from the area of Mt. Vesuvius. The Culture Ministry valued the items at 12 million euro ($12.79 million), according to a statement. They were in the possession of a London company in liquidation, Symes Ltd, owned by dealer Robin Symes. “The most complex moment was when the liquidators showed their availability (to return the objects), which was a willingness that implied a demonstration of illegality,” said Carabinieri Cmdr. Vincenzo Molinese, who is in charge of the carabinieri unit prote...
