In addition to this, British singer Declan McKenna, a big fan of Tottenham, was inspired by Son Heung-min to compose’Sony’ (nickname for Son Heung-min) and put it on the album. He also introduced the story of joining the Hamburg youth team in Germany and tears after being eliminated in the men’s soccer quarter-final at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
