Crossing the 400 appearance milestone as the 14th player to do so in our history Spurs in 142 years.
And this season he has also entered the top 20 all-time scorers in the Premier League with 123 goals in 309 league appearances. Not only that. Son has also always made an impact with the South Korean national team, so much so that he boasts 129 appearances and 49 goals and was named AFC Asian International Player of the Year for 2023, the fourth time he has received this honor after 2015, 2017 and 2019.
