A horrible day for those who think being a leader means pointing and shouting at your teammates whilst being less mobile than a traffic cone 
nice one Son
Does this make him the first Asian player to captain a Premier League side?
Son said: “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.
“It’s a new season, a fresh start and I will give everything for this shirt and this armband.”
Head Coach Ange Postecoglou said: “Sonny has great leadership qualities, both on and off the pitch, and is the ideal choice to become our new captain.
"Everyone knows he is a world class player, and he has enormous respect from everyone in the dressing room.
“He transcends groups within the squad. That's not just because he's popular - it's because of what he has achieved in the game, both here and as captain of South Korea.”
No doubting his love for and loyalty to Spurs.
He was always the likely candidate.
My only concern is his captain status make it far less likely he is rotated when form dips. We can't carry passengers for 75% of the season again. Let's hope he gets back to his best.

Excellent, he is Mr Tottenham and is a player who gives everything for the shirt.
I think this new responsibility will make him even more determined to get back to his best.
