The newly appointed manager of Tottenham Hotspur, Thomas Frank, has praised Heung-Min Son, calling him one of the finest players in Premier League history. This comment came after Son revealed at a press conference in Seoul that he plans to depart from Spurs this summer. Following Son’s announcement, Frank voiced his disappointment over missing the opportunity to collaborate with the talented South Korean player. “On a personal level, I would have loved to work with such an incredible individual and athlete,” Frank stated. Additionally, it’s been officially confirmed that Son will leave Tottenham after a decade. He is an iconic figure for Spurs in every way, ranking among the finest players to compete in the Premier League. Determining the right moment is always challenging, but my approach from the side makes it somewhat simpler to conclude on a positive note. Son joined Tottenham Hotspur at the end of August 2015 and marked his 10th anniversary with the club by winning the UEFA Europa League trophy in May. He ranks fifth on Spurs’ all-time goalscoring list with 173 goals and, last season, became only the seventh player in the club’s history to achieve over 450 appearances, totaling 454. He was awarded the FIFA Puskas Award for his goal against Burnley in 2019 and won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021/22 season with 23 goals, helping Spurs qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Additionally, he is one of only 13 players to have captained the North London club to a trophy.
