Tottenham forward doesn\u2019t want teammates to think he\u2019s a big star in his country
\n LONDON
\nSon Heung-min has been named South Korea\u2019s top athlete for five straight years but he is keen to downplay his star status with his Tottenham Hotspur teammates for fear of having to play tour guide for the entire squad during their pre-season tour.
\nSpurs begin preparations for the Premier League season with a game against a K League select in Seoul on July 13 before facing Sevilla in Suwon three days later.
\nThe London club enjoy a huge following in South Korea thanks to their Golden Boot-winning forward and while Son is looking forward to the tour matches he thinks he may have a major role to play off the pitch as well as on it.
\n\u201cI think the lads are mistaken. They think I am some big shot in Korea, and I know all the best restaurants in the country,\u201d Yonhap News quoted Son as saying on Monday.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if I can take care of 50 to 60 people all at once. That\u2019s a lot of pressure on me. But since they\u2019re going to be visiting Korea, I will pick up the tab.\u201d
\nSon scored 23 Premier League goals to share the Golden Boot award with Liverpool\u2019s Mohamed Salah last season and the 29-year-old thanked his team mates for their belief in him.
\n\u201cIt was such a happy moment,\u201d Son said. \u201cMy team mates supported me a great deal … \u201cEvery time I scored, (Eric) Dier would tell me, \u2018the Golden Boot is yours\u2019. I was too far behind Salah at the time. I said, \u2018What are you talking about?\u2019 \u201cBut then as I started closing the gap, my teammates said they were getting excited too.\u201d
\nSpurs, who finished fourth last season, begin their league campaign at home against Southampton on Aug 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
