Following the transfer of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Carney to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, team leader Pusdigoro announced in a high-profile announcement that Son Heung-min, who used to play alongside Carney, will take over the captaincy role, with the 31-year-old South Korean star undoubtedly becoming a symbol of pride in Asian soccer.
Since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Dutch Eredivisie rivals Leverkusen in 2015, Son Heung-min has scored 145 goals in 372 matches, including 23 goals in the 2021/22 Premier League season, making him the top scorer in the table alongside Liverpool striker Mohamed Sana. Despite scoring only 10 goals in the Premier League last season, Son Heung-min's position and influence in the team is second only to that of Carney, so he is expected to take over the captaincy.
