Born 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. FC Köln. 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 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.

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.

He reached 150 goals for the Club in grand style with a double at Arsenal in September, 2024 - he was then named Premier League Player of the Month for September - and when he struck against Luton in March, 2024, he moved ahead of Cliff Jones and into the top five of our all-time leading goalscorers on 160. His next appearance was at West Ham on 2 April, his 400th, becoming only the the 14th player to reach that milestone.

Season 2023/24 - Sonnys ninth at Spurs - proved another milestone campaign for the forward, starting in August, 2023, when he was named Club captain. He racked up 36 appearances, taking his total to 408 in all competitions and 17 goals, moving him to 162.
