Heung-min Son wanted to leave "Tottenham" after his first season at the club

"Heung-min Son undoubtedly is one of the brightest players of London's Tottenham team this season and has already scored 16 goals for his team. Some of them - game winners.

The Korean has already participated in tournaments twice this season with his national team, helping them to win the gold at the 2018 Asian Games.

However, the beginning of Son's career in the new club, after moving from Bayer to England in 2015, was not easy. The Korean admitted that after the first season in London, he wanted to return to Germany.

"It was close that I would have left at that time. I went to M. Pochettino and told him that I didn't feel good and wanted to go back to Germany. But then the coach showed confidence in me and I am very grateful for that.

He turned my dream into reality. I am incredibly grateful to him. For four years, we have been working together with Pochettino and it is amazing," - Son said in an interview with the "Evening Standard."

The Korean has played a total of 174 games with Tottenham, scoring 63 goals during that time."
