Ranking Heung-min Son’s best Tottenham moments: Puskas goal, Europa League glory make the cut

It is the end of an era in Tottenham. After he had lifted the Europa League title with the team last season, club captain Heung-Min Son confirmed that he will leave the club. After he joined Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015, SON completed 10 seasons with Tottenham, all with the highlight of winning the Europa League. He gained 127 goals and 71 assists in Premier League game and also formed one of the best attacking duos in competition history alongside Harry Kane.

But while Tottenham is moving to his next era under Thomas Frank, the South Korean will not be part of it, whereby his next destination is probably Los Angeles FC. A club that knows something about Tottenham Legends after winning the MLS Cup with Gareth Bale, Lafc weighs a $ 20 million deal for the star, According to Tom Bogert. It would be a considerable coup for landing Son next to Denis Bouanga while haunting the crown of the Western Conference.

“I just want to share information that I decided to leave this club this summer. With respectfully, the club helps me with this decision. It was the most difficult decision I made in my career,” Son said in a press conference in Seoul. “The most important reason is that I have achieved everything I can do at Tottenham. I need a new environment for a new challenge. As a child I came to Noord -London. A boy came to London who could not speak English. I leave this club as a man. Thanks to all the Spurs fans who gave me so much love.

Those 10 seasons have been for a long time, so let’s look back on some of the best moments of the son in a Tottenham shirt:

5. Son’s 100th Premier League goal

Son has scored quite a few special goals in a Spurs shirt, because he has always been someone who marks the greatest moments with Flair, and his 100th Premier League goal was no different. Brighton curled a shot from outside the box and had no chance to save the shot. He became the first Asian player to reach that milestone in the competition when he completed the performance in 2023 after only 260 Premier League performances at that time.

4. Breaking Southampton

It is a suitable place for the moment, because in 2020 it took only 30 minutes for SON to set four goals beyond Southampton in Saint Mary’s stage. The cooperation between Kane and Son sheen on that day, with all four goals that are assisted by Kane. After the game, son immediately praised Kane for his assists.

“I would not have scored four goals without this guy. He is great. Four assists, he earned the man of the game today,” Son said.

Messages such as these are part of the reason why Son would continue the team.

3 coast to coast for the pus greenhouse

Going Coast to Coast can be a common event in basketball, but not in football, but that did not stop Son from doing it. Son took the ball in the defensive box for Spurs and showed his legs and dribbled through the entire Burnley team before puting the ball in the back of the net. It is also a goal that shows that the definition of what an assist is blurred because Jan Vertonghen gets one in the game. It was a goal that Son earned a Puskas prize for one of his most iconic goals in a Spurs shirt.

2. Best friends outside the field, deadly together

His relationship with son back in the fold was something special during their time at the club. They held the Premier League record for target contributions together with 47, they were quite a duo that led the attack. They knew at all times where each other was and were strong enough passers -by to place the ball where he had to be for a goal. Their lead is 11 goals better than the next best duo from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard with 36 goals, so this is a record that could be for a while. Their journey together includes an incredible run to the Champions League final in 2019.

1. Europa League Glory

Laying the Europa League trophy should fall as Son’s greatest performance with the club. It may be done during a strange season in which Spurs ended 17th in the Premier League, but as we go further away from the season, the image that will not fade, son as a club captain who raises a European trophy in his 10th season with the club. It is a perfect highlight of what he brought a Tottenham shirt while he leaves the club in a better position than in when he joined it.
