Heung-Min Son has been named Club captain.

Sonny, 31, takes over the captain's armband from Hugo


Lloris, who first captained the team in 2014/15 and was
named skipper for the start of 2015/16 - Sonny's first
season at Spurs.

James Maddison and Cristian Romero have been


appointed vice-captains.

South Korea captain Son approaches his ninth season


at the Club since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in
August, 2015.

Scorer of the first Premier League and Champions


League goals at Toenham 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.”
