Scorer of the first Premier League and Champions
League goals at Toenham Hotspur Stadium, winner of the 2019/20 FIFA Puskas Award for his wonder goal against Burnley in December, 2019, Sonny added the Premier League's Golden Boot to his long list of achievements with 23 goals in 2021/22. Last season, he became the first Asian to score 100 goals in the Premier League.
Son said: “It’s such a big honour to captain this huge
club.
“It was big surprise and a very proud moment. I’ve
already said to the players that everyone should feel like a captain, on and off the pitch.
“It’s a new season, a fresh start and I will give
everything for this shirt and this armband.”
Head Coach Ange Postecoglou said: “Sonny has great
leadership qualities, both on and off the pitch, and is the ideal choice to become our new captain.
"Everyone knows he is a world class player, and he has
enormous respect from everyone in the dressing room.
“He transcends groups within the squad. That's not just
because he's popular - it's because of what he has achieved in the game, both here and as captain of South Korea.”
