The Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has apologised to his teammate Son Heung-min after appearing to say that South Korean people “all look the same” on a TV programme in Uruguay. In a short clip from Por La Camiseta, the host Rafa Cotelo asks the Uruguay international for a Spurs player’s shirt. “Sonny’s?” replies Bentancur, before adding: “It could be Sonny’s cousin too … they all look the same.” Bentancur’s remark quickly drew widespread condemnation after the clip was posted online earlier this week. The 26-year-old has now reached out on social media to apologise to his club captain for what he has called “a bad joke”.
