LIKE A MODEL: Son - The 'Spurs sonnyshine' & the second most dangerous Korean

  /  maite_

Hello, everyone! Welcome to All Football column LIKE A MODEL! Here we will bring you the sexiest & hottest men in the football world. So just feast your eyes and give your points for them. The handsome footballer of this week that we choose is Tottenham’s winger Son Heung-min.

When Son Heung-Min fired home Tottenham's first ever goal at its shiny, brand new $1.3 billion stadium earlier this month it felt like the next chapter in an extraordinary story.


For Son, this season has been one of personal success and recognition from across the sport. His 21 goals for Tottenham Hotspur -- Spurs to their fans -- so far this season, more than he managed in the entire campaign last term, have taken his game to new heights.

For a player who previously revealed he was close to leaving English football back in 2016, Son's rise with Spurs has been meteoric.

So, too, has been his popularity. Not just with his teammates and Tottenham's supporters, but also back home in South Korea and across much of Asia where his social media profile has rocketed.

Much of that is down to his outstanding performances for Tottenham in the Premier League and Champions League, where he has been one of the club's leading players, scoring twice in the second leg against Manchester City to propel his team to the Champions League semifinals for the first time in its history.

Having moved away from home as a teenager to join German club Hamburg, Son enjoyed great success in the Bundesliga after making his debut in October 2010, eventually scoring 20 goals in 78 appearances for Hamburg before joining Bayer Leverkusen in June 2013, where he helped the club secure Champions League qualification in both of his two seasons there.

His goal return of 29 in 87 games persuaded Tottenham to shell out a reported $28 million for the player in 2015.

Since then his profile has rocketed, particularly this season with his goals ensuring Tottenham remain in the top four of the Premier League and in the last eight of the Champions League.

There was the added bonus of leading the national team to a gold medal at the Asian Games in September, a victory that ensured an exemption from military service.
