Heung-min Son now just six goals shy of one Harry Kane Premier League record

Heung-min Son, Tottenham’s captain, is on the brink of an incredible milestone as he closes in on one of Harry Kane’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record.

Tottenham’s legacy of elite finishers

The Premier League has been graced with some of the finest finishers football has ever seen, from the relentless Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney to the explosive Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah.

Tottenham Hotspur has also contributed its share to this illustrious list, with the likes of Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, and now Heung-min Son flying the flag for elite goalscoring.

Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich in the summer marked the end of an era, but Son has taken up the mantle of leadership, continuing to deliver breathtaking performances in front of goal.

The South Korean has become synonymous with clinical finishing, and while many admire his speed and movement, it is his ambidextrous finishing that truly sets him apart.

Time and again, Spurs fans have witnessed the talisman’s ability to strike the ball with either foot, seamlessly converting chances without hesitation.

This quality has already earned him a place in the Premier League’s 100 goals club, a testament to his longevity and skill at the highest level. Now, the 32-year-old’s journey takes him closer to Kane’s record, a challenge he seems poised to meet.

Son’s journey to surpass Kane’s Premier League record

A key statistic revealed by Score90 highlights Son’s brilliance: his exceptional finishing with both feet.

With 33 weak-foot goals in 311 matches, he ranks third in Premier League history, level with Romelu Lukaku, who achieved the same tally in 278 matches, and behind Sergio Aguero, who has 34 in 275 matches, while Robin van Persie and Harry Kane top the list with 39 weak-foot goals each.

To put that into context, Kane required 320 games to reach his tally of 39 weak-foot goals, while Son has hit 33 in 311 as a wide-forward, making his left-footed strikes equally impressive.

In a league where versatility and precision are crucial, Son’s ability to finish effortlessly with either foot has been a hallmark of his career.

Son’s legacy: silverware and greatness

Heung-min Son’s impact on Tottenham extends far beyond his goals; he embodies the passion, resilience, and quality that Spurs supporters cherish.

As club captain, his influence transcends his stats, yet it is his finishing that could lead Tottenham to greater heights.

Spurs’ pursuit of silverware has eluded them for years, but with Son at the helm, there is hope that his leadership and scoring prowess can break that cycle.

If he can deliver a trophy during his stint as captain, it would cement his legacy not just as one of Tottenham’s greatest-ever players, but as a transformative figure who led the club into a new era.

Son’s achievements are already remarkable, but the potential to surpass Kane and bring home silverware will elevate him further. For Spurs fans, this journey is one to cherish as they witness a modern-day legend crafting his story in the club’s history books.
