Is Heung-min Son a Premier League Legend?
Former Chelsea star and talkSPORT host Andy Townsend has stirred up controversy by claiming that Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-min Son is not a Premier League legend, despite his impressive goal-scoring record.
Son recently scored a crucial goal against Luton, propelling him to become the fifth-highest goalscorer in Tottenham’s history with a total of 160 goals for the club. However, Townsend argues that the term ’legend’ should be reserved for only a select few.
Townsend’s comments come in the wake of Son’s consistent goal-scoring performances, with the South Korean forward netting at least 15 goals in three of the past four Premier League seasons. His contributions have been instrumental to Spurs, earning the team crucial points with his decisive goals.
In response to his achievements, Son humbly expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play for Tottenham for nearly a decade. He credited his teammates and coaches for their support and guidance throughout his career.
As Tottenham gears up to face West Ham in a pivotal match at the London Stadium, Son’s quest for further success continues. The team will be looking to secure a victory to bolster their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.
Conclusion
While Townsend may dispute Son’s legendary status, there is no denying the impact the talented forward has had on Tottenham Hotspur. Son’s remarkable goal-scoring feats and unwavering dedication to the club have solidified his place in Spurs’ history, regardless of the title of ’legend'.
