Even the best defences struggle to contain him. Notably, Son has scored against the rest of the big six multiple times, and always troubles Pep Guardiola's Manchester City with his pace and clever movement. He boasts an impressive record of seven goals and three assists in 13 meetings with them across all competitions.
After the Olympics I was very upset. I was really down, because I played for my country and I wanted to get some medals for my country," Son later said.
South Korea have qualified for the Tokyo Games by winning the AFC U23 Championship in January 2020, and Son could be one of the three overage players allowed in the team. It's a big honour to play with him and I really enjoy playing with him and it's been six years now playing together with him and we are understanding very very well, we know what we do. But he is team captain, and loves playing for his country, and while he has not communicated a decision about the Olympics yet, hopes are high that he'll play in Tokyo. While Son Heung-min does most of his talking on the pitch, he's not afraid to dazzle on the roadway. He owns one of Ferrari's fastest cars.
Sometimes you come in after training, or after a game, when you've had a bad moment, and to have someone like him is very important. Sonny is this type of player. If you ask anyone, they'll tell you the same. He's a top man, a top player, a top human being." It takes time to settle into the Premier League, as everybody knows, because it's a lot more physical," said Harry Winks, who is currently on loan at Sampdoria. "You can see over the years how much he's matured physically - how strong and powerful he is. That's just credit to his work in the gym and on the pitch."He always finds it easy to laugh and talk with people. He tries to motivate everyone. When the dressing room is sad for some reason, he's always there to make you smile again," said former team-mate and close friend Moussa Sissoko.
Determination is one of Son's defining characteristics. Sissoko expects him to respond to disappointment about the World Cup and his own indifferent form the way he always does - by reflecting on what went wrong and redoubling his efforts. He's known as one of the nicest guys in the game, but Son Heung-Min has a killer instinct on the pitch.We were playing Norwich away and we were dominating the game," recalled Winks. "We were creating lots of chances, and players were scoring here and there, but everybody just wanted Sonny to score. You could see by the celebrations that everybody was so happy for him. He fully deserved it because he was outstanding." Son's current deal at Tottenham runs out in 2023, but Mourinho said that, despite of the uncertainty cause by Covid-19 and losses at football clubs because of empty stadiums, he's confident that Son will stay. Son Heung-Min played at Rio 2016, before the tournament he was excited by the chance to play at an Olympics. After Leeds there were still 22 games remaining, so there's little doubt that record will fall and this double-act will set the bar high for future combinations.
How can you sign a new contract with a player? You don't know what is going to happen next season," Mourinho said in a press conference ahead of their top of the table clash with Liverpool in mid-December. Son is a global football superstar but in Korea he has megastar status, anything he appears on sells out, and every goal he scores is celebrated with hysteria. The Kane-Son Son-Kane combination has been unstoppable this season, when Kane assisted Son to score that 100th goal against Leeds it was the 13th time the two combined this season.

I see Sonny signing a new contract here, but I don't press for something to happen now because probably it's not the right moment.”
