Heung-min Son has taken to Twitter to reveal how he felt when hearing of Tottenham’s interest in signing him back in 2015.
When asked that exact question in a Q&A on Thursday, the South Korean said the following.
It was back in 2015 under Mauricio Pochettino that Spurs decided to target the exciting, direct Son, who was playing in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen at the time.
Daniel Levy parted with £22 million to sign the 28-year-old, and what an addition he’s turned out to be.
Having spent over five years in north London now, Son’s Tottenham record is mightily impressive.
The Spurs No.7 has scored 95 goals for the club in 242 appearances, while also registering 52 assists.
147 goal involvements for a wide-forward in 242 outings is fantastic work.
Son is arguably worth over five times his £22 million transfer fee now, and is in the form of his life with eight goals in eight Premier League games so far.
The former Hamburg attacker even scored four goals in one game in the comprehensive 5-2 win over Southampton back in August!
If he helps Tottenham win the title this season, he could definitely be spoken about as one of the best value-for-money signings in the north Londoners’ history.
