Heung-min Son of Tottenham Hotspur has stepped up since Harry Kane left, and journalist Paul Brown recently compared the two in an interview with GIVEMESPORT.

But not every fan believed it to be the case. It was never going to be easy to replace someone of Kane’s caliber, but Postecoglou asked Son, a veteran member of the team, to assume the captaincy responsibilities. Since the 2023–24 season began, the 111-cap South Korean international has been in excellent form and has been a significant contributor to Spurs’ – albeit brief – run of success.
Tottenham is yet to suffer a domestic defeat this season, with their only losses coming to Brentford on the opening weekend and to Arsenal in their most recent match. At the beginning of the season, it would have appeared impossible for them to be sitting in fourth place with 14 points, but their lovable Australian captain just continues on developing a strong team.
Son, who only cost the team £22 million in the summer of 2015, scored a hat-trick as Tottenham defeated Burnley 5-2 in their road game. The winger-turned-striker most recently scored twice against Arsenal in a hard-fought North London Derby, earning a match-high rating of 8.6 on SofaScore.
The higher-ups at Tottenham made the decision to spend big money on Brennan Johnson, a former forward for Nottingham Forest, throughout the course of the summer. According to BBC Sport, the Welshman, 22, who joined the team as its eighth summer acquisition, cost around £45 million. He has only played 73 minutes of domestic football since his arrival, and he even left the game hurt during the cross-London rivalry.
