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. He tries to improve himself, the players next to him, and the team as well. You can see during the game, he's always energetic. He's a winner and he always has that desire inside him."

Before the football, the first thing you think of is how much of a nice and genuinely down-to-earth person he is," said Winks. "He's very bubbly, very funny. He likes to have a joke. He treats everybody the same, whether they're from the academy or they're a new signing. He makes everyone feel welcome and at home. That's why he's such a big and influential character in the dressing room.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.” 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. In addition to his commercial success, Son has also been one of the Premier League's top performers over the past few seasons, winning the 2021/22 Premier League Golden Boot. He was named the Asian Footballer of the Year in 2019 and helped lead Spurs to a Champions League final appearance in 2019. It happened. Son played, he scored in an 8-0 rout of Fiji, and again against Germany in a 3-3 draw as South Korea topped Group C, also defeating Mexico by a single goal.

Kane has traditionally taken more of the plaudits as a homegrown hero and the England captain. Always highly valued by his team-mates and managers, Son was occasionally underappreciated by a wider audience, but his exploits last season forced everyone to take notice. A brace on the final day ensured he shared the Golden Boot with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. BTS, or the 'Bangtan Boys', are a South Korean boyband sensation that has swept the world counting fans in their billions. In their sixth season together the relationship has become almost telepathic, and Son has benefitted from Kane's new role in the team.Tottenham's training ground at Enfield is always besieged by South Koreans wearing Son No.7 shirts looking for an autograph, and Son almost always obliges.

I think he's become more clinical and more ruthless with his finishing," added the Spurs academy graduate. "The most important thing for Sonny is goals and assists. If the team wins but he doesn't get a goal or an assist, he's happy for the team, but he's not happy with himself. It's just that elite mentality he has." 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. So starts the saga that is set to drag on at least for some time yet but the uncertainty isn’t about whether Son will be in Qatar. “We fully expect Son will go,” a high-ranking KFA official told the Guardian. “We just have to see if he can play.” The 30-year-old is so important that his place is almost certainly assured regardless of his condition when the squad is named on Saturday or, indeed, for the first game, against Uruguay 12 days later, or Ghana and Portugal after that. Son's connection with Harry Kane is electric and that partnership has lit up the league, putting Tottenham among the contenders to lift the Premier League title under manager Jose Mourinho. In the midst of a global pandemic and Premier League football going ahead where it can, Son is focussed on the job at hand right now.So after disappointment in Rio and joy in Jakarta, is Son ready for another tilt at the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Olympics this summer? There was even better news in December for Spurs fans when the manager said that the South Korean superstar wants to stay in London for the rest of his career. 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.

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.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." 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. They've spent seven years together. They know each other," explained Sissoko. "They've been training together, and trying to understand each other, for a long time so it becomes easier in the game. Sonny knows what H is thinking, and it's the same for H. That's why it works. I'm very happy for them." 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.
