Son Heung-min, who was selected as the best No. 7 in Tottenham history, showed his will to do everything for the trophy.
British Give Me Sports said on the 17th (Korea time) 'A player in uniform No. 7 will become an aggressive and dynamic player and generally enter the final third to create opportunities. Most wingers dream of wearing number 7 on their childhood soccer team. 'They have to be aggressive, bold, interesting, and always be able to get fans out of their seats,' he said, before analyzing who Tottenham's best No.7 was after commenting on the symbolism of No.7.
Over the years, numerous Tottenham players have done just that. From the 1960s to the modern era, he picked Tottenham's best No. 7 player ever. There were great players here,' he said, explaining that there were many players who played well with Tottenham wearing No. 7.

Surprisingly, Son Heung-min came first. Give Me Sports selected Son Heung-min 'Tottenham's current captain Son Heung-min as the best No. 7 player ever. Son Heung-min, who transferred for 22 million pounds (about 38.6 billion won) in 2015, praised him, saying, "It took time to adjust, but he eventually became one of the best wingers in the English Premier League."
He then explained why Son Heung-min was listed in the top 5 of the all-time top scorer list and has won several awards so far, including the Puskas Award in 2020 and the EPL's top scorer in the 2021-2022 season.
Give Me Sports ranked Son Heung-min as the best No. 7 in Tottenham history, but insisted that he should have a trophy. 'The only thing Son Heung-min doesn't have is the trophy. Since arriving at Tottenham, they have lost two finals. The best clubs in the world wanted to recruit Son Heung-min, but he always showed loyalty by playing with number 7 in every game,' he added.
After Son Heung-min, Osvaldo Ardiles was the best player in Tottenham's history. The number of trophies is the reason why Ardiles was able to be positioned behind Son Heung-min, even though he did not play relatively many games compared to other candidates. He won the FA Cup in England in 1981 and the UEFA Cup in 1984, creating a history of Tottenham, which does not have much history of winning.
Looking at his personal record alone, there is no seven times in Tottenham history that can follow Son Heung-min. However, Son Heung-min is the only player without a trophy among the nine players considered as Tottenham's best No. 7 candidate ever. This is also the reason why Son Heung-min can become an all-time legend when he wins at Tottenham.
It can be added to the symbolism that Tottenham, which has not won a championship for 16 years since the 2007-2008 season, can be saved from no spectators. Even Tottenham's best legendary players, such as Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris, failed to make it in the end.
If Son Heung-min leads Tottenham to the current championship, another symbolism could be added as the first non-European Tottenham captain.
Son Heung-min also knew that the most regrettable thing about him was the trophy. Son Heung-min said in an interview with Britain's The Sun on the 18th, `I will do anything to win the championship"He fired up his will to win the championship.
Looking back on his 10 years at Tottenham, Son said "It was really fast. I closed my eyes and opened them, and it feels like 10 years have passed. It was a decade of working really hard here. It went by so quickly that I didn't even know when my 23, 24, 25 years old was."
Soon, Son Heung-min was born in 1992 and became one of the team's oldest members. He is the oldest among the main players. Tottenham has been reborn as a very young team since manager Enze Postecoglou took over. Of the four players recruited in this summer's transfer window, Dominic Solanke is the only one over the age of 20.
Son Heung-min said, `Young blood has come in, and they may be more physical and athletic, but soccer requires experience and skill"He insisted that he had a role to play in the team. In fact, Tottenham now lacks experienced veterans. It is true that when Son Heung-min is not in the stadium, there is no player to set the team's mood.
Son Heung-min thought it was important to ride the flow early for a young team like now. And he insisted that there should not be many injuries in order not to break the flow. He was unlucky to have many injuries. In a young team, if the atmosphere is good, you ride the flow, and everything goes well. But if the situation you want doesn't work, everyone has doubts. I won't repeat the same mistake this season because I learned my lesson"He burned his will to bring success to Tottenham this season.
