Tottenham HotspurHeung-Min Son has become the 18th player to score 100 goals for Spurs.
The South Korean star racked up his century milestone with a wonderful strike to help us to a 3-0 win against Leeds United in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Sonny joins Harry Kane in the 100 club - the in-form pair are currently racing towards becoming the most potent combination (goals and assists provided for each other) in Premier League history - alongside modern-day Club legends like Jermain Defoe, still going strong at Rangers, Robbie Keane and Teddy Sheringham.
Snapped up from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, South Korea's captain is now seen as one of the world’s best forwards. Multiple winner of Best Footballer in Asia, KFA Player of the Year and Asian International Footballer of the Year, Sonny has lifted the Premier League’s Player of the Month three times and Goal of the Month twice. The second of those goals, a stunning solo strike against Burnley in December, 2019, landed Sonny the prestigious FIFA Puskas Award and Match of the Day’s Goal of the Season for 2019/20.
Jimmy Greaves, recently awarded an MBE, remains our all-time record goalscorer with 266 goals in 379 appearances in all competitions between 1961-70. He's 53 ahead of his early strike partner at Spurs, double-winner Bobby Smith, who scored 208 goals for us between 1955-64.
Harry Kane is hot on the heels of Bobby. The England skipper recently hit the 200-goal milestone for the Club and is now up to 205 goals with his goal against Leeds.
