  • 9 years ago
Hello everyone. I'm Steven Choi with the sports brief.
Son Heung-min is amongst legendary company. Scoring twice in Bayer Leverkusen's 3-0 win over Paderborn, he's put in 16 goals in all competitions so far this season.
Son's now being compared to legend Cha Bum-kun, whose 19 goals also with Leverkusen in the 1985-86 season is the record for Koreans in the Bundesliga.

The 22-year-old has 10 goals from league matches, one from the league cup, and five from Champions League competition, scoring at a clip of once in every two games.

With the form he's in, he's expected to break the record, which would make his season one of the best-ever as an Asian player in Europe.
