It’s north London derby week, but that hasn’t stopped Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and Tottenham captain Son Heung-Min meeting up.
It’s North London Derby week, and supporters are getting ready to risk their allegiance to their team in exchange for three points and—possibly more importantly—proud status. For the first time in a while, this matchup could bring out the best in both Arsenal and Tottenham, setting up an intriguing matchup.
After making a title challenge last season, the Gunners are again near the top of the game in both the Premier League and Europe. After failing to win the big prize, almost £200 million was spent on transfers to enable the team bolster itself for a further attempt.
Ange Postecoglou, the new head coach of Spurs, has charmed the fan base with his attitude, exciting play, and results. Four victories and a draw in the games thus far have resulted in 13 points won out of a possible 15 on the table for them.
With several games remaining, the Gunners are still in the early stages of the title race with the exact same number of points. The north London derby, which saw a lot of tension build up in the week before it, is likely to turn out to be the biggest challenge of the next season for both teams.
However, there has been some controversy because Son Heung-Min and Bukayo Saka were both seen getting together on Monday night. The two wore distinctive clothes as they attended Burberry SS24, a fashion show in London that will stretch for the entire week.
A video showed them both discussing something, but it was a sighting that led both sets of fans to fume with the derby coming up soon.
