Tottenham Hotspur
Heung-Min Son reached 20 goal involvements for the ninth-successive season with two assists in our 4-1 win at Ipswich Town on Saturday.
The skipper was in irresistible form in the first half at Portman Road, providing our first two goals for Brennan Johnson. That took him to nine assists in the Premier League this term which, added to his single assist in the FA Cup, plus 10 goals so far in all competitions, means he's hit 20 goal involvements again - with at least another 14 games to follow.
Our second longest-serving player - Sonny joined us in 2015, toppled only by his great friend, Ben Davies, who arrived in 2014 - Sonny is also closing in on notable club milestones, as we detail below...
