Son’s Impact at Tottenham
Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has made a huge impact. He has scored 169 goals in 431 games. He’s not just a player; he’s a leader as captain. Tottenham’s statement celebrated Son’s growth into a star and called him a legend for the club.
“Sonny has become a star during his time with us and a great for Tottenham Hotspur,” the club said, highlighting how important he is to the team.
A Storied Career
Son ranks 11th on Tottenham’s all-time appearance list. He’s also one of the top scorers in the club’s history. Only a few legends like Harry Kane and Jimmy Greaves have more goals than him.
This season, Son has been performing well. He has five goals and six assists in 17 Premier League games, showing he’s still a big part of the team’s success.
Tottenham’s Current Situation
Even with Son’s success, the team has faced some tough times. Under coach Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham is currently in 12th place in the Premier League. They have only one win in their last eight matches. But there’s hope. The upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool could be a chance for the team to bounce back and improve.
