Son Heung-Min in Fortnite — What's the esports collab the South Korea star is involved in?
South Korea and Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-Min will reportedly feature in Fortnite's next celebrity collaboration, receiving a full skin bundle and in-game feature.
According to reports, the collaboration will take place on June 21 during Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 3.
The Son-Fortnite collaboration will have more offerings than just a single-skin release. The full bundle will include Son's skin featuring the red South Korea national jersey with the '7' number and an armored padding. Apart from it, a pickaxe, back bling, and other cosmetics feature in the set.
Son, after recovering from injury, earlier this year, has been in formidable form. He won the UEFA Europa League title with Tottenham, beating Manchester United in the final, and also led South Korea to a confirmed spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The Fortnite skin is likely to be a purchasable skin that costs V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium in-game currency. Once the bundle arrives, it can be obtained from the in-game item shop.
Son is now part of the emerging trend of sports personalities collaborating in the world of esports.
In April earlier this year, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo featured as a playable character in the popular Japanese fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Ronaldo joined Street Fighter characters Chun-Li and Ken Masters in the game's first season of downloadable content.

'Sir David': Beckham Knighted For Services To Football And Charity
Last Updated: England and Manchester United legend Beckham was named in the King Charles' Birthday Honours list on Saturday. David Beckham was knighted for his services to the game of football and his activities towards charity as the 50-year-old was named in the King Charles' Birthday Honours list on Saturday. Beckham, who earned 115 international caps for the England national team, is set to join other renowned figures in British sporting history, such as former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and tennis legend Andy Murray. In 2003, Beckham was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), and his wife, former Spice Girls star Victoria, received the same honour for her contributions to the fashion industry. Since 2005, Beckham has served as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and is also involved with the King's Foundation, supporting educational initiatives to raise awareness among the next generation about nature. The former Manchester United star was initially set to receive the high honour in 2012 for his efforts in bringing the Olympics to the United Kingdom, but the nomination was put on hold due to alleged tax evasion charges that were eventually dropped. Beckham made over 700 appearances in a distinguished career, known for his exceptional free-kick skills and precise long passes. He won the Premier League title six times and a UEFA Champions League trophy during his time at Manchester United under Ferguson. However, in 2003, Beckham transferred to Spanish giants Real Madrid following a disagreement with Ferguson. He remained with the Galacticos until 2007 before moving to the USA to play for LA Galaxy. Beckham also spent a couple of seasons on loan at Serie A club AC Milan before finishing his illustrious career at French side PSG, where he retired with 127 goals across all competitions. In 2014, Beckham announced his intention to exercise the option of buying an MLS expansion team, Inter Miami. He has significantly advanced the development of the Florida-based club, attracting star players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.

"My Decision Shows...": Matheus Cunha's Big Statement After Joining Manchester United
Matheus Cunha says he is determined to help Manchester United bounce back from their worst league season in 51 years after becoming the club's first major signing of the transfer window. The 20-time English champions are undergoing a rebuild under Ruben Amorim after limping home 15th in the Premier League and losing the Europa League final to fellow strugglers Tottenham. Defeat in Bilbao cost them Champions League qualification, meaning United will spend a first season without European football since 2014/15. But the Red Devils' issues did not deter Brazil international Cunha, who completed his £62.5 million ($85 million) switch from Wolves on Thursday. "It is the most common phrase that you can say at this moment, but this is the dream come true," the 26-year-old told MUTV. "Maybe outside, I think maybe my decision, they don't understand. But when you have always dreamed to play here, it's easier to pick this decision. "For me, no one else is like United. Of course, I know it's been a hard season for everyone. I think my decision shows what this club is for me and what I believe this club can be. "And, of course, I'll do everything that I can to manage this inside of me, to play for my dream team and put my dream team to win." Cunha followed United growing up and spoke of his admiration for Wayne Rooney, along with many other members of the triumphant 2008 Champions League side. The Red Devils have tumbled out of Europe's elite in recent years but the forward has lofty ambitions. "I don't think we have one player who comes here and then doesn't think about the glory days in Man United," Cunha said. "To remember all the times that they win the Premier League, how many titles it was, and of course to qualify for the Champions League. This is what I think about United, you know to put this club on top. "Then what I can do is everything to show them I'm here to help the team, to conquer these kind of things." Cunha scored 17 goals in all competitions for Wolves last season, winning the Premier League club's players' player of the year award. He will add his predatory instincts and creative guile to a United attack that struggled throughout this season. The striker helped his country qualify for the World Cup earlier this week when he set up the only goal for Vinicius Junior in a 1-0 win over Paraguay.
