Son Heung-min Bio

Son Heung-min is considered one of the best wingers in the world, as well as one of the greatest Asian footballers ever. Son Heung-min is a South Korean professional footballer who captains the South Korean national team and plays as a forward for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

He was born on July 8, 1992, in the South Korean province of Gangwon. At the age of 16, Son moved to Germany to join Hamburger SV, with whom he made his Bundesliga debut in 2010. He had a strong preseason in 2010–11, leading the club with nine goals, and he signed his first professional contract on his 18th birthday. On October 30, 2010, he scored his first league goal in the 24th minute against FC Köln. With the goal, Son became the youngest Hamburg player to score a Bundesliga goal at the age of 18. Son's transfer to Bayer Leverkusen was finalised on June 13, 2013, for a reported €10 million, the largest transfer fee in the club's history at the time. He signed a five-year contract with the team.

On August 28, 2015, Son signed a five-year contract with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur for £22 million (€30 million). When he signed, he became the most expensive Asian player in football history. Hidetoshi Nakata of Japan has held the record since 2001, when he moved from Roma to Parma for €25 million. Son made his debut against Sunderland on September 13th, in a 1–0 victory. Son scored his first two goals for Tottenham in a 3–1 triumph over Qaraba FK in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League season opener on September 17th. Three days later, against Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane, he scored his first Premier League goal, netting in the 68th minute to give Tottenham their first home Premier League win of the season.

Son played for the South Korean national team at the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, which was held in Nigeria. In this competition, he scored three goals. Son was nominated to the South Korean national team's squad for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup on December 24, 2010, and made his debut in a pre-tournament friendly against Syria on December 30. Son scored his first international goal in the tournament finals, a 4–1 victory over India in the group stage.

Club and International debut

Hamburger SV: Son made his first-team debut for Hamburg at the age of 18 in the German Bundesliga in October 2010.

South Korea: On the 30th of December 2010, Son made his national team debut against Syria in a pre-tournament friendly as the team prepared for the 2011 Asian Cup.

Notable statistics

While at Tottenham, Son broke Cha Bum's record for most goals scored by a Korean player in European competition while at Tottenham, becoming the top Asian striker in Premier League and Champions League history. In 2019, he became the second Asian in history to reach and start a UEFA Champions League final, following fellow countryman Park Ji-sung. Son was the first Asian player in the Premier League to score more than 50 goals, and he was nominated for the Ballon d'Or in 2019.

Son has been a full international since 2010, and he has three goals to his name in the 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups. He is South Korea's joint-best scorer in the World Cup, together with Park Ji-sung and Ahn Jung-hwan. Son has also competed for South Korea at the 2018 Asian Games, where the team won gold, as well as the AFC Asian Cup in 2011, 2015, and 2019. In 2015, Korea came in second place.
