Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min of the English Premier League (EPL) received praise from the club and the league.

On the 28th (Korean time), Tottenham Hotspur highlighted the young Son Heung-min when he joined the team by posting on their social media, “We signed with Sonny (Son Heung-min’s nickname) 9 years ago on August 28, 2015.”

Then, he shared 10 profile photos of Son Heung-min from the 2015-2016 season to the 2024-2025 season.

Son Heung-min’s move to Tottenham was also significant at the league level.

On the 29th, the EPL posted 9 photos of Son Heung-min’s goal celebrations from each season on the office’s SNS with the titles, “9 years of Tottenham Son Heung-min” and “What is the most memorable moment so far?”

In 2015, Son Heung-min left Bayer Leverkusen (Germany) to join Tottenham, becoming the 13th Korean player in the EPL.

Although his debut season was a struggle for him to adjust to the new stage, it didn’t take long for him to prove himself.

Son Heung-min played an active role as a key player for Tottenham, teaming up with Christian Eriksen (currently at Manchester United), Dele Alli (currently at Everton), and Harry Kane (currently at Bayern Munich).

Even after three players left one after another, Son Heung-min steadfastly protected Tottenham.

Son Heung-min has been leading his teammates since last season as Tottenham’s captain.

As a member of Tottenham, his current record is 410 games, 164 goals, and 84 assists.

Son Heung-min, now in his 10th year, is only thinking about the championship trophy.

During an interview with the British media outlet BBC on the 23rd, he expressed his determination, saying, “I came to Tottenham to lift a trophy,” and “I want to go as high as possible, both as a team and as an individual.”

Tottenham will look to continue their winning streak in the third round of the league against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on the 1st of next month.

Son Heung-min, who scored multiple goals in the last round’s 4-0 win against Everton, is aiming for a second consecutive goal in the upcoming match against Newcastle.
