Son Heung-Min to Tottenham: Latest Transfer Details, Reaction and More

Son Heung-Min completed his £22 million transfer to Tottenham Hotspur from Bayer Leverkusen on Aug. 28 in one of the most exciting deals of the summer.

Spurs confirmed the forward's capture, with Son penning a five-year contract at White Hart Lane:

Extra information was provided on Sept. 9:

Jack Gaughan of MailOnline previously revealed the official transfer fee was £21.9 million and that the young forward has taken the coveted No. 7 jersey.

Son isn't looking to waste any time getting his Premier League career under way. The official Spurs Twitter account provided quotes from the player, who detailed his football background and readiness to delight his new fans:

The north London side announced Son's signing not long after BBC Sport reported Mauricio Pochettino's men had seen a second bid rejected for West Bromwich Albion attacker Saido Berahino.

Clearly keen to bolster his attacking options, Pochettino has moved for South Korea international Son, a player OptaJoe confirmed as something of a unique Bundesliga talent:

The 23-year-old netted 17 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions last season as Leverkusen ran to a fourth-place league finish, boasting the third-best scoring tally in the Bundesliga with 62 goals.

Despite playing primarily as a winger, Son has shown a superb eye for goal during his time in the German top flight. WhoScored.com further illustrated his standing as a prolific player in his position:

Spurs will be hoping to see their latest signing give star striker Harry Kane a more reliable chain of ammunition from out wide while also providing his own threat in front of goal.

The new arrival is likely to court a starting spot in north London. He looks to beat the likes of Nacer Chadli, Andros Townsend and Aaron Lennon to a place in the first XI.

The move could also mean the end of Erik Lamela's time at White Hart Lane. ESPN FC's Stephan Uersfeld recently reported the Argentinian is in talks with Internazionale.
