Son Heung Min is 31 years old and may be desperate for any title with Tottenham
By Sam Kweon
A player that has captivated the fans since he arrived at Tottenham Hotspur, it feels just like yesterday when Son Heung Min was 26 years old and scoring goals next to the likes of Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli at his side.
Years have passed, and here we stand.
At 31 years old, Son remains trophyless throughout his lengthy tenure with the team. Nearly all of his former teammates, who were there when Lucas Moura secured a last-second victory against Manchester City in the Champions League, have moved on.
Even superstar Harry Kane departed the team last season to win trophies with the biggest club in Germany.
For Son, he has stayed loyal to the club that gave him a chance. Once he arrived at Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen and established his place in the club, there was almost no turning back.
"I had the greatest managers - Mourinho, Conte, also Nuno and Mauricio [Pochettino]. Everybody wants to play different styles of football, but his football gets more interesting every day. I want to get better for him, and the football he wants to approach"

Yet, within a realm where acknowledgment often hinges on tangible victories, we find ourselves in the waning years of his career.
A player who has won the Golden Boot scored over 115 goals in the Premier League and is now the captain of the club has had it all.
Son Heung Min should be hungry for a title. It appears he's done it all except claim that elusive silverware.
And it starts this weekend to start a run for a Champions League spot in 2024/2025.
Tottenham is gearing up to confront their arch-rivals Arsenal in a high-stakes match. Arsenal's pursuit of the Premier League trophy clashes with Tottenham's relentless endeavor to secure a coveted Champions League spot.
