(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has accepted an apology from team mate Rodrigo Bentancur after the Uruguayan had said all South Korean people "look the same" during a television appearance.

In a short clip posted on social media from Uruguayan Television programme Por La Camiseta, host Rafa Cotelo asked Bentancur for a Spurs player's shirt, to which he replied, "Sonny's?", adding: "It could be Sonny's cousin too as they all look the same."
