“Lifetime Contract” “Love This Man” – Some Spurs Fans Delighted With Players Achievement

|

With Tottenham Hotspur opening up the 2018/19 Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Saturday, one man in the squad was celebrating for a second reason at the fulltime whistle.

Coming off the bench in the second half as he replaced Dele Alli for the final ten minutes of the match, Son Heung-Min notched up his 100th top-flight appearance for Spurs. The 26-year-old South Korean international had already passed the 100 appearance marker across all competitions, but the Premier League tally is a special one and his importance for the side and his goal return since arriving back in late August 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen speaks for itself.

It’s fair to say he soon became a fan favourite and for a reported £18million fee given the prices that some others move for in today’s game, in many ways he’s been extremely good value for money.

Hitting his ton prior to heading out on international duty certainly saw praise move in his direction.

The topic of military service also reared its head but hopefully, that’s a concern that won’t come to fruition.
