[OSEN=강필주 기자] Son Heung-min (31) is steadily changing the Tottenham goal record.

Son Heung-min scored the opening goal in the 31st round of the 2022-2023 English Premier League (EPL) against Bournemouth on the 15th (Korean time). Although Tottenham lost 2-3 in this game, Son Heung-min scored 143 goals, which is 6th in Tottenham’s career.

Son Heung-min’s goal was balanced by a goal held by club senior Jermaine Defoe. Son Heung-min is now preparing to run towards the 159 goals held by fifth-place Cliff Jones.

For reference, the record for the most goals for Tottenham is Son Heung-min’s teammate Harry Kane. Kane continues to break Tottenham’s all-time scoring record with 273 goals so far. Second was Jimmy Graves with 268 goals.

Son Heung-min said in an interview with England’s ‘Independent’ on the 17th, “I think I can still play for a few more years, so I will continue to work hard to score more goals.” I will do my best,” he said.

“It’s a great honor to be able to play for this club for several more years,” said Son Heung-min.

In addition, Son Heung-min said, “But it is a great honor to be compared to Defoe, who is a Tottenham legend and has scored many goals at Tottenham.”

Son Heung-min said, “This remark is expected to have the effect of erasing the transfer rumors that have been circulating for a while. Son Heung-min has attracted attention this season by being connected to Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). /letmeout@osen.co.kr
