Football manager Thomas Frank declares Son Heung-min as a true Tottenham Hotspur legend in all aspects.
Tottenham Legend Son Heung-min Bids Farewell in Final Match
Son Heung-min, a "Spurs legend" according to Thomas Frank, will play his final match for the club this Sunday against Newcastle United in Seoul. The South Korean forward has been a crucial part of Tottenham's attack since joining from Bayer Leverkusen for £22m (€30m) in 2015, amassing 173 goals and 96 assists in 454 appearances across all competitions.
Son Heung-min's departure leaves a significant void in Tottenham's squad, and Frank faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement. He has identified Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert, and Mathys Tel as potential candidates for the left wing.
In a recent interview, Frank expressed his admiration for Son Heung-min, stating, "He's a fantastic player, and I would love to work with him personally. He's one of only 11 players to register 70+ goals and 70+ assists in the top flight, an achievement that speaks volumes about his quality."
Tottenham's pre-season tour of Asia concludes with the match against Newcastle, following victories against Reading and draws with Luton Town and Wycombe Wanderers. The UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain is scheduled for August 13.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is coached by Eddie Howe and his staff. Frank's side recently beat Arsenal 3-2 in the first north London derby to take place outside of England, a result that has boosted the team's confidence ahead of the match against Tottenham.
Frank is looking forward to the encounter and sees it as a competitive test for his team. He is particularly keen to improve in phase two of their play, where he believes there is room for improvement.
While Son Heung-min's place in Tottenham's history is secure, the full list of players who have reached 70+ goals and 70+ assists in the Premier League remains unspecified in the provided data. Bukayo Saka is confirmed as one such player, but the complete list of 11 players in Premier League history remains undetermined.
