Conte shared the same team with Son Heung-min at Tottenham in the past. Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to win the top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season under Conte. Conte reportedly praised Son Heung-min's personality when he was the head coach of Tottenham. Another media outlet, The Times, shed light on Son's popularity last year, saying, `Conte said Son would be the perfect husband for his daughter.'
Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. For the next 10 years, he has become a striker representing EPL as well as Tottenham. Son Heung-min scored double-digit points for eight consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season. He also posted the most assists (68) ever for Tottenham. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the EPL joint top scorer (23 goals) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushkashi Award in 2020. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Pushkas Prize are the first and only milestone to date for an Asian player. He recently announced a one-year contract extension with Tottenham despite various transfer rumors.
