Son Heung-min ranked eighth among the top 11 Tottenham finishers in history. The ranking is lower than expected. First place was Harry Kane.

Give Me Sports, a British soccer media outlet, ranked the 11 greatest Tottenham finishers in football history on the 9th (Korea time).

The media reported 'Tottenham had many strikers with the highest level of goal-scoring ability of the time. I was blessed with such a blessing. One of the best players of the current generation, Jermaine Defoe, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, all made it to the top 11,' the report said.

The media outlet said, "'Korean superstar Son Heung-min became a household name thanks to his performances in the Bundesliga and Premier League.

Son Heung-min played for Hamburg SV for three seasons and scored 20 goals in a total of 73 matches.

In addition, Bayer Leverkusen, a prestigious German club, recruited Son Heung-min and solidified its reputation as one of the best talents in the Bundesliga for two years. He scored 21 goals in 62 appearances. In the end, in 2015, Tottenham recruited Son Heung-min.
