Heung-min Son is desperate for Tottenham Hotspur to win a trophy and says there is something very special he would trade to lift silverware in North London.

Tottenham take on Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Thursday presenting the Lilywhites with an excellent shot at winning a trophy. Son really impressed against Southampton and he will need to continue that form into the cup tie with United.

Son is now in his tenth season with the North London club but he is desperate to make this the campaign when the club’s 16-year wait for a trophy comes to an end.

Heung-min Son would trade Tottenham assist record for trophy

Heung-min Son became the Tottenham with the most Premier League assists as he surpassed Darren Anderton’s record of 67. The forward set up two goals against Southampton and also managed to get his name on the scoresheet.

However, the Tottenham captain insists he would trade all his goals and assists for the club in exchange for a trophy. Son admitted his pride for breaking the Spurs assist record but he is hungry to achieve more at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Son told Tottenham Hotspur: “I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved for this club but I’m still hungry, I still want to always improve. If I could change one thing for a trophy it would definitely be this. I think everybody deserves this, the club deserve it, the fans deserve it, so we are working on it.

“Let’s be together at the moment, it’s not important to talk about individual stuff, I’m very proud of course think everybody has to work towards one aim.”

The forward’s contract situation remains up in the air and he could have just one more season left in North London. Tottenham plan to trigger the one-year extension option in Son’s current deal but talks over a new contract are not taking place, at this stage.

Is Heung-min Son getting back to his best after recording-break display vs Southampton?

Despite playing just 45 minutes against Southampton, Son managed to get three goal contributions with two assists and one goal. The winger netted Tottenham’s second before setting up James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr.

The 32-year-old hasn’t been at his best this term for Spurs, but at St Mary’s, he showed strong signs of gradually getting back to his best.
