Heung-Min Son Leads Spurs Into a New Era

After the departure of Harry Kane, many expected Tottenham Hotspur to struggle. But Heung-Min Son had other plans.

The South Korean star embraced the captain’s armband and took on the challenge of leading a young, evolving squad. Under manager Ange Postecoglou, Son has flourished in a fluid attacking system that gives him freedom to roam and create danger.

What’s remarkable is how consistent Son remains. Whether scoring from the left, pressing from the front, or dropping deep to connect play, he’s doing it all — with a smile. His leadership style is quiet but inspiring, and teammates have praised his humility and example.

Postecoglou has built a more energetic, risk-taking team, and Son is the perfect face of that identity. His partnership with new arrivals like James Maddison and Brennan Johnson has given Spurs fans new hope.

In a post-Kane world, Son hasn’t just filled the void — he’s redefining what it means to lead Tottenham.
