He also completed his first Spurs hat-trick in March, 2017, during our 6-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Millwall. The second came in April, 2017, after he scored five goals in four games at the start of that month. In 2016/17, Son rattled in two cracking strikes in our 4-0 win at Stoke City in September, 2016, while also netting both our goals in a 2-1 win at Middlesbrough later that month on his way to picking up the first of two EA SPORTS Player of the Month awards during that campaign. A foot injury sidelined him for a spell and he finished the 2015/16 campaign having scored eight goals in 40 appearances for us, with one of his highlights proving to be his last-gasp winner at Watford in late December, 2015. He helped them to Champions League qualification in each of his two seasons there and made a total of 87 appearances, scoring 29 times at BayArena.Īfter making his debut for us away at Sunderland in September, 2015, he scored twice on his home debut in a 3-1 Europa League victory over Qarabag, before netting the only goal of the game as we beat Palace 1-0 at White Hart Lane in the Premier League three days later. A consistent goalscorer throughout his time in Germany, he went on to make 78 appearances and score 20 times for Hamburg before joining Bayer Leverkusen in June, 2013. He joined Harry in the PFA's Premier League Team of the Season in June.īorn in Chuncheon, Son originally moved to Germany as a teenager and came through the ranks at Hamburger SV, scoring on his Bundesliga debut in October, 2010, against 1. Sonny scored four goals at Southampton in September, was named the Premier League's EA Sports Player of the Month for October, reached 100 goals for Spurs - only the 18th Spur to do so - and claimed his sixth 'Best Footballer in Asia' award in January. That included 17 in 37 appearances in the Premier League as he and Harry Kane put together a league record 14 goal combinations for a single season. He topped the 20-goal mark again with 22 goals in 51 appearances in all competitions - his best seasonal return so far. The 2020/21 campaign was another memorable one for Sonny. The good news continued into the summer, as well, as Sonny signed a new four-year deal which will run until 2025. At the end of 2020/21, he'd scored 107 goals and claimed 64 assists in 280 appearances for us in all competitions.
Scorer of the first Premier League and Champions League goals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winner of the 2019/20 FIFA Puskas Award for his wonder goal against Burnley in December, 2019, Sonny simply goes from strength to strength. South Korean international superstar Heung-Min Son has endeared himself to the Spurs faithful with some fantastic goalscoring displays since signing from Bayer Leverkusen in August, 2015.
