\u201cHeung-min Son Inches Closer to Major Record After Scoring Again\u201d<\/p>\n

Heung-min Son may be nearing the twilight of his career, but he continues to deliver on the field and is now on the verge of breaking another significant goalscoring record.<\/p>\n

Heung-min Son Needs Just Eight More Goals for South Korea Record South Korea extended their unbeaten run in World Cup qualifying with a 3-1 victory over Kuwait on Thursday, keeping them at the top of their group.<\/p>\n

Son scored a penalty in the 19th minute, bringing his total to 50 goals for his country, and he\u2019s now just eight goals away from surpassing South Korea\u2019s all-time top scorer, Cha Bum-kun, who netted 58 goals in 136 appearances.<\/p>\n

Having reached 50 goals in 130 caps, Son is well-positioned to break the record, with five World Cup qualifying matches ahead over the next year. It\u2019s very likely the Tottenham Hotspur star will surpass Cha\u2019s mark during that time.<\/p>\n

Son\u2019s Career Record for South Korea | Competition | Games | Goals | |\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014|\u2014\u2014-|\u2014\u2014-| | International Friendlies | 59 | 16 | | World Cup Qualification | 42 | 23 | | AFC Asian Cup | 18 | 7 | | World Cup | 10 | 3 | | Total | 129 | 50 |<\/p>\n

Son Rising on Tottenham\u2019s Scoring Charts Not only is Son closing in on a national record, but he\u2019s also climbing the ranks of Tottenham\u2019s all-time goalscorers. With 165 goals to his name, the Spurs captain currently sits fifth in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

At 32, he\u2019s in a strong position to surpass Martin Chivers, who scored 174 goals for Tottenham, potentially achieving this feat by the end of this season. Looking further ahead, Son could aim for the 200-goal club, joining the ranks of Tottenham legends like Bobby Smith, Jimmy Greaves, and Harry Kane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
