Real Madrid is interested in completing the transfer of Son Heung-min from Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League. The South Korea international has established himself among the most talented attackers in Europe since he joined Tottenham Hotspur from Bayer Leverkusen in the 2015 summer transfer window.
He has made 344 appearances (in all competitions) for Tottenham Hotspur so far, registering 136 goals and 76 assists. Son was the joint top scorer in the Premier League last season and was also included in the PFA Premier League Team of the Season 2020-21. He also won the 2020 FIFA Puskas Award for his brilliant solo goal against Burnely in December 2020.

He has played three games in this FIFA World Cup so far, contributing one goal. Son Heung-min will lead South Korea against Brazil in a round of 16 tie at Stadium 974 on December 6.
Real Madrid is in the transfer market to sign a new attacker. Karim Benzema will turn 35 at the end of this month and will not be able to lead the white attack for long. Eden Hazard and Mariano DÃaz have also struggled to consolidate their place in the first team.
Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min is one of the best players in the world, his transfer will be a great addition to the Whites’ front line. The transfer of Son Heung-min will also help Real Madrid to strengthen its presence in the Asian market.
However, signing him will not be easy as he is a key piece for the London team. Tottenham are expected to demand a transfer fee close to €70 million for Son Heung-min. It will be intriguing to see if the Whites make a move to complete the transfer of Son Heung-min.
South Korea captain reflects on waiting to qualify
Son Heung-min, the captain of South Korea, said that waiting for the result of the Ghana vs. Uruguay match was the longest six minutes of his life.
