Son Heung-min, after featuring in Tottenham Hotspur's 1-1 draw at West Ham, became the 14th player in Spurs' history to reach 400 appearances for the club.

Heung-Min Son never tires of making Tottenham history. Just days after the South Korean entered the top five top scorers in the London club's history with his late winner against Luton Town, the London captain has reached another milestone. 

The South Korean international started his side's draw against West Ham last term in the Premier League, making his 400th appearance as a Lilywhite, something that only 13 other players have achieved in the history of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium outfit. 

Steve Perryman (854) leads the list of players with the most appearances, with two of Sonny's former team-mates also making appearances. One is Los Angeles FC goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who left the club with 447 appearances (seventh place) and the other is striker and all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane, with 435.

Son has become the undisputed leader of Ange Postecoglou's side's attack this season following the departure of Harry Kane last summer, and he is delivering. The South Korean winger has 15 goals and eight assists in 28 competitive games so far this season.
