Thu Apr 03 18:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Son Heung-min’s Goal Drought Raises Concerns Ahead of Crucial Chelsea Clash
**London, UK** – Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min faces a crucial test as he struggles to maintain his record of scoring double-digit goals for a ninth consecutive season. Currently on 7 goals and 9 assists, the South Korean captain is significantly underperforming his usual standards, leading to speculation in the British press about a decline in his prime.
Son, who achieved legendary status after scoring 14 goals in his breakout season (2016-17) and subsequently reaching double digits for eight consecutive years, including a Premier League Golden Boot win in 2021-22, has seen a sharp drop in goals this season. His recent performances in international matches for South Korea also failed to impress, resulting in two 1-1 draws.
Despite his slump, Son remains a key figure for Tottenham, leading the team as captain in their upcoming match against Chelsea on April 4th. Predicted to start on the left wing, Son will be crucial in Tottenham’s attempt to improve their 14th-place league standing against the 6th-placed Chelsea. The match represents a critical opportunity for Son to reignite his form and secure his coveted double-digit goal tally for the season. His performance will be closely watched as the possibility of ending the season with under 10 goals for the first time in years looms large.
