Son built his nest in Tottenham in August 2015. The 10-year companion had a happy ending. He stayed with the persuasion of former coach Mauricio Pochettino at a time when he was about to leave the team a year after joining Tottenham. Since then, he has formed a deadly partnership with Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). Son scored 47 goals with Kane. It is by far the number one offensive combination in the history of the English Premier League (EPL).
In 2019, he was disappointed in the final of the European Champions League. In 2020, he was honored with the FIFA Pushkas Award, and in the 2021-2022 season, he won the EPL Golden Boot (23 goals). Both the EPL's top scorer and the Pushkas Prize are the first and only milestone to date for an Asian player.
The 2024-2025 season was the peak of the fire dragon. Son Heung-min lifted the trophy in the Europa League (UEL) as captain. It was the first time in 17 years since the top of the league cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season.
Son Heung-min scored 173 goals and 101 assists in 454 games for Tottenham, and participated in 204 goals in 333 games in the EPL alone.
