[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Tottenham is expected to push for Son Heung-min's mural.
Initially, Tottenham announced plans to build statues of club legends outside the stadium. It was an agenda item at the Fan Advisory Committee (FAB) held on September 9. According to the minutes released on Sept. 16, Tottenham and the FAB discussed the idea of creating a statue around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to honor key figures in the club's history. Tottenham are considering the matter and will provide an update to the FAB as early as possible. The site and the target are expected to consult with fans. After the issue was reported in mid-October, many fans are recommending suitable candidates. Recent players such as Son Heung-min and Harry Kane as well as former legends such as Jimmy Greaves are going up and down.

However, there were things the media missed at this meeting. It was the agenda for Son Heung-min.
According to the minutes of the meeting at the time, there was a Heung-Min Son Legacy agenda. Fans came out with the topic first. The FAB stated in the minutes that the club's report on Son Heung-min's transfer/deposition and a number of dedications were sincere, and that Son Heung-min's message to the fans meant a lot to the fan base. The FAB requested whether the club would be willing to honor Son's legacy, for example, through a mural in the region. The club will also review this further and report on the possibility at the next meeting.
If this is possible, it is highly likely that Son Heung-min's face will be engraved in a mural around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Harry Kane's mural is already painted on the wall of the building opposite the stadium. The mural of Son was painted in an alley about 500 meters from the stadium, but it was changed to a different painting a few years ago. At that time, a fan was known to have painted the painting.
Son has scored 173 goals and 101 assists in 454 games in 10 seasons since joining the club in 2015. He is ranked fifth in the team's all-time scoring. He won the Europa League as captain last season and gave Tottenham the trophy for the first time in 17 years since winning the 2008 League Cup. It also adds to the symbolism that he is the only Asian player to win the EPL scoring title and the Puskas Award at the same time, and the first Asian captain in Tottenham's history.
