Tottenham Hotspur striker Heung-Min Son scored 20 goals for Mauricio Pochettino’s side last season.
Son was Tottenham’s Player of the Season last year, and established himself as one of the finest players in the Premier League.
However, the South Korean international is not content with just relaxing at Spurs.
Son told the Daily Mirror: “I am 27 now but I think I’m still young, with many things to do. The players who are a little younger or older than me, we all feel the same – we are still hungry and we want to be better.
“For me, this is the most important thing. I’m never satisfied, always hungry, wanting better. This is the aim, whether if I am 22 or 27. It doesn’t matter.”
The comments have really impressed by Tottenham boss Pochettino, who thinks that Son is an example to the rest of the squad.
“I am happy to hear him telling you that he still wants to improve, be better and work hard,” Pochettino said.
“That mentality is fantastic and that is why he is a very good example for all the fans and all the people, not only here but in Asia if not the word.”
Son netted 20 goals across all competitions for Tottenham last season, and often was the man to step up when Harry Kane was out of the team.
Kane suffered badly with injury last term, which meant that Tottenham had to find goals from other areas, and Son really thrived off the challenge.
Son could be in action later today with Tottenham, when they take on Manchester United in a pre-season friendly.
