British media Talk Sports was asked on the 16th (Korea time) 'Who would like Kane to join Bayern Munich. I gave a prompt response. He picked Son Heung-min, he reported. Another press team talk was also questioned by Kane at an event with the team supporters. When asked who he would pick if he could recruit just one player, he picked Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min and Kane made history by eating together at Tottenham from the 2015-2016 season. The so-called Son-Ke Duo' has played a total of 297 games for Tottenham. He scored 47 goals in the English Premier League alone. It has become the best duo in EPL history. Son Heung-min scored 24 goals and 23 goals and Kane scored 23 goals and 24 assists. He far exceeds the 36 goals of the second-place Frank Lampard-Die Drogba duo.
The history of the two did not last forever. Kane left Tottenham and joined Bayern Munich through the transfer window in the summer of 2023. Son, on the other hand, remained at Tottenham and led the attack. Son Heung-min, who wore the captain's armband, also scored 17 goals last season.
The friendship between the two was eternal. Son Heung-min said, `Me and Kane continued to play in the same position and shared special feelings. We worked together a lot, and we were that special. To me, Kane is one of the best players in the world. I was so sad that he left. Still, I understand that this transfer is a necessary option for Kane. I want him to do better and show good performance." The same was true of Kane.

Son Heung-min scored double-digit points for eight consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season. Since the launch of the EPL in 1992, only seven players have scored 10 or more goals for eight consecutive seasons. In addition, Son Heung-min scored 23 goals in the league in the 2021-2022 season, becoming Asia's first top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL). He was 100% pure top scorer with no penalty kick points. Son Heung-min also left 17 goals and 10 assists in the league in the 2023-2024 season. Once again, I joined '10 (goal)-10 (help) club'. He became the first Asian player to achieve EPL 10-10 (11 goals-10 assists) in the 2019-2020 season. After the 2020-2021 season (17 goals-10 assists), he was listed as the third 10-10 in his career.
He also wrote Tottenham's history. Son Heung-min added two assists in the EPL match against Southampton on the 16th and accumulated 68 assists on the EPL stage. 'Tottenham has risen to the top of the EPL's most assisted player in all time. According to the Tottenham website, Darren Anderton (67), who played in Tottenham's uniform from 1992 to 2004, has been the most helpful player so far. Son Heung-min broke the record as he built two assists on the day.
The problem is Tottenham's move. Initially, Tottenham was expected to renew a long-term contract with Son Heung-min. The tide has changed. According to local media in the UK, Tottenham seems to be considering a 'one-year extension option' instead of renewing the contract with Son Heung-min. In the meantime, Son Heung-min is attracting attention from big clubs around the world. FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United are known to be interested in Son Heung-min. Ekrem Konur, a transfer market expert, said on his personal SNS (social network service) on the 15th that Bayern Munich can target Son Heung-min in case he fails to recruit Xavi Simmons (Lefich)."
