When Son moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Tottenham Hotspur in 2015 for £22m, he became the most expensive Asian footballer in history. Considering how his career with Spurs has panned out, the fee is an absolute steal.

It took some time during his first season for Son to adapt to his new team and a new league. However, towards the end, he was pivotal for Tottenham Hotspur in their challenge for the Premier League title.

Since then he has gone on the lay several new benchmarks for Asian footballers in European football.

He has gone on to become the highest-scoring Asian footballer in the Premier League and Champions League, therefore becoming the highest-scoring Asian in European football.

Last season, under Antonio Conte he recorded his best-ever goal tally, which led Son to become the first-ever Asian footballer to win the Premier League Golden Boot.

Forming a dangerous link with teammate Harry Kane, the duo have helped Tottenham Hotspur reach new heights, and will be hoping to soon end the club’s long trophy drought.
