Son Heung-min snubs private jet for commuter train to Cardiff for international friendly vs Spurs pal Ben Davies

SON HEUNG-MIN is on almost £200,000-a-week at Tottenham so you would expect Ange Postecoglou’s star striker to be using private jets and chauffeur-driven cars.

But the humble South Korea captain, 31, chose an eco-friendly way to make the trip to Cardiff last Sunday ahead of tomorrow’s friendly with Wales – by travelling on the train.

Son was fresh from his hat-trick in Spurs’ 5-2 Premier League away win at Burnley.

And the Prem star travelled on public transport with club team-mate Ben Davies.

Then they linked up with their respective national teams in the Welsh capital.

The Tottenham pair casually rocked up at Cardiff Central Station around 5.30pm just over 24 hours after the Turf Moor victory.

After getting off the commuter train, they shared a hug on the platform before going their own ways.

Son then headed to Cardiff Bay where Jurgen Klinsmann’s Korean squad are based at St David’s Hotel.

While defender Davies, 30, travelled west to Wales’ Vale of Glamorgan HQ.

It was refreshing to see the wealthy high-profile duo doing normal things.
