10 things you [probably] didn’t know about Tottenham’s Son Heung-min

3. He wanted to leave Spurs during the summer after just one season

After starting just 13 Premier League matches in his debut season, Son was interested in leaving the club, according to multiple reports and there was interest from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

Yet, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was not ready to give up on the 24-year old and instead convinced him to stay, something that Son has declared he is grateful for in recent interviews, when asked about the possibility of leaving White Hart Lane.

After playing a starring role at his previous two clubs, it was not surprising that he was linked with a move back to Germany during the summer.
