Son Heung-min as Tottenham captain

Son was made Tottenham captain, replacing Harry Kane - the striker who just moved to Bayern. The two vice-captains will be midfielder Cristian Romero and rookie midfielder James Maddison. The decision of coach Ange Postecoglou was supported by a large number of fans. They believe that the above trio is suitable to be the leader of Tottenham post-Kane.

"It is an honor and pride to be captain of the club," Son said after being handed the captain's armband on August 12. "This is a big surprise. I told the players that everyone should feel like a captain. A new season, a new beginning and I will give everything for this shirt and this captain's armband."

My son is not unfamiliar with the captain, as he has been the captain of the Korean team for many years. I think my son will demonstrate leadership, "Postecoglou said of the 31 year old player. He is the bridge of the team

2023-2024 is Son's ninth season at Tottenham. He once won the Premier League top scorer in the 2020-2021 season with 23 goals. Last season, Son became the first Asian player to reach 100 goals at the tournament.

Son will wear the Tottenham captain's armband for the first time, when the team visits Brentford in the opening round of the Premier League at 8pm today 13/8.
