Heung-min Son may be 31-years-old, but Darren Bent reckons he is still worth up to £80m in today’s market. The former Spurs man insists he is surprised the club’s captain has never been signed by another club, and believes he has to win a trophy before he retires.
Son has grown into a true Tottenham icon since joining the team in 2015. With 159 goals, he is currently the club’s fifth-highest scorer ever and serves as captain.
Son has been a bright spot for Ange Postecoglou this season. With 14 goals and eight assists in the Premier League (Transfermarkt), the South Korean sensation has brought the club together like never before and is now clearly creating a very good environment.
Son has to win a trophy with Spurs
To date, Son is yet to win a major club honour with Spurs. There is a hope that can change in the near future now that Postecoglou’s revolution appears to be getting the team on the right track.
Darren Bent believes Son is too good a player to never win a trophy, and has expressed his surprise that no other club has ever properly tried to snare Son away from North London.
TalkSPORT (13/03, 5.15 PM) quoted him as saying, “Far too good not to win anything.” Far too wonderful. I’m not sure [why no teams have made a move for him]. Payments of £70m or £80m would be required. What a role model.
I have no doubt that Sonny and the Spurs will shortly receive a trophy. He is among our best players ever, and before his career ends, he genuinely deserves to have enormous success. If he was never able to raise a trophy as our captain, that would be a great shame.
