Son has set the "single-season scoring record by a South Korean in Europe" with 21 goals in all competitions, beating Cha Bum-kun’s 19 goal tally in 1985-86 season with Leverkusen.
Congrats!

There's more to come from him next season too, I'm sure of it. He had a broken preseason last summer, with S Korea duty.
Get him really strong and fit this summer and he can fly in Wembley's open spaces.

Just come in here to show some love to the Korean Magician.
Monster season.
Monster season.
It wasn't that long ago we were crying out for some one, anyone to get 20 goals a season. Now we have Harry on 30+ again and 2 on 20+. Awesome

He's the player I wanted us to sign when Bale left us. So glad we got him last season and this year he's been really good. So glad he's shut up a few fans who haven't appreciated him.

"Son is shinning, weather is sweet,
make you want move, your dancing feet"
- should be a chant.

I think Son is far more dangerous in a central role. If we continue with 3421 next season then in Eriksen, Alli, Son and Lamela we have got some really good options to play behind Kane. Add Edwards to the mix and I really don't think we need anyone else.

Can't sing his praises enough. You simply need players like him if you want to be successful as a club. Versatile enough to effectively play across the 3 and in a pinch at striker, works his ass off (constantly making intelligence runs in behind the defense), incredibly productive (21 goals, 8 assists) and he's the embodiment of what we need here at the club. What a fantastic player for us.

He can shut me up all day long if he keeps producing for the spurs. I welcome it.

Minutes wise he's played 22 premier league games and scored 14 goals. Are we being a little disrespectful by not seeing him as a definite starter from now on?
A lot of talk myself included has been about improving the position he fills, but who on earth would we get to better that strike rate? Sure we could get someone electric paced and better at dribbling but you might be sacrificing goals.
Unless we pull a miracle in the transfer market over the summer the form he's been in he should be starting week in week out. Right now I just dont see how you can leave him out. I'd be happy with Son, Dele & Eriksen with Lamela and a Sissoko replacement backing them up.

He is not a starter in the 3421 set-up.
He is ahead of a healthy Lamela in the 4231, though I could see them as part of a rotation, with one always on the bench.

Yes dependent on formation of course. Due to all the injuries Poch has avoided a few selection headaches this season. Mainly relating to Dier and Son.

That little move he made before his second goal was world class. Beautiful in slowmo.

But the pundits and media all said at the beginning of the season we would not be able to cope if Kane was injured

with Lamela out he's a starter - we only have 4 attacking players we can count on. With Lamela back and a good second striker Id like to see some rotation and flexibility, which would give us 2 impact subs off the bench. We play 50+ games a year which should be enough to keep six players happy.
but yes, he's been fantastic this year.
