South Korean forward, Son Heung-min, has been named the new captain of Tottenham Hotspur.

Reacting to his appointment, Son, who also captains the South Korean national team, said it was a “big honour.”

“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,” popular football journalist, Fabrizio Romano quoted him as saying.

Defender Cristian Romero and recent signing James Maddison were appointed vice-captains.
