Heung-min Son wants to become a Tottenham 'legend' by winning a trophy as captain

Tottenham captain Heung-min Son says his aim is to become "legendary" at the club but does not believe he is there yet.

Next year will mark a decade since Son joined Spurs from Bayern Leverkusen and the 32-year-old has been one of the club's best signings of the modern era.

He has scored at least 14 League goals in each of the past eight years and was named captain by manager Ange Postecoglou last summer.

But Son is yet to win a club trophy with Spurs and asked by BBC Sport about what he hoped his legacy would be, the South Korean said: "Legendary.

"Being at one team for 10 years is a good effort. You have to be really consistent with this and the club needs to trust you.

“You also have to give something back to the club and the fans. I get so much love from Spurs fans which I really appreciate.

"I still don’t think I am a legend of this club. I have said I want to win something with Spurs, then I want to be very happy to be called a legend. This is one thing I want to do.

"I joined Spurs to win a trophy and I hope we can make a special season.”

Son scored 17 times last season as Spurs finished fifth in Postecoglou's first season in charge but the former Premier League Golden Boot winner says he will not set a target for the new campaign.

"I am not setting a goal of where I should be," he added. "Imagine if I say 10 goals or something and you score 10 goals in six games, your goal is done. I want to push as much as I can, never feeling it is enough.

“I want to go as high as possible in every aspect – team, individual, everything. Then we will see where we are at."

Son is the elder statesman of a very young Spurs squad, which was bolstered by the signings of teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, both 18, and Wilson Odobert, 19, over the summer.

"It's been good [being captain], learning a lot of things last year. Being a captain for a Premier League team takes a lot of responsibility," he said.

"Sometimes it's also hard dealing with young payers, it's like being in school! But it's a joy playing with fantastic players and I'm still learning

“It's not easy but it's a good thing to do it."
