Richarlison makes a big Heung-min Son request to Daniel Levy at Tottenham
After Heung-min Son’s exit from Tottenham Hotspur, Richarlison has urged Daniel Levy to do something big to celebrate the forward’s legacy at the club.
One can argue that Son will go down as Tottenham’s biggest legend of the Premier League era.
Unlike the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, and Harry Kane, the South Korean did not jump ship to a bigger club even when he had opportunities to do so, sticking with the Lilywhites through thick and thin.
He deservedly got his hands on the Europa League trophy back in May and will always be remembered as the man under whose leadership Tottenham broke their 17-year trophy drought.

Tributes have been pouring in from Son’s Tottenham teammates over the last 24 hours, with the likes of Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pedro Porro waxing lyrical about his legacy at the club.
Their reactions show the kind of mark the forward has left on the club, both on and off the pitch.
Richarlison has now gone a step further on his Instagram stories by calling for Spurs to erect a statue of Son outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Brazilian also took to Instagram to post a touching goodbye message to the South Korean, admitting that it will be very strange not to have him at the club any longer.
The former Everton man admitted that it was an honour to play with the 33-year-old, remarking that he led by example as a professional, a leader, and a human being.
Richarlison wrote: “Sonny, it’s going to feel a bit strange looking to the side on the pitch and not seeing you there. You are not only a great friend but also an example of a professional, a leader, and a human being.
“You made history wearing the Spurs shirt, and I’m so happy that I was able to win such an important title alongside you. You truly deserved it! May your future be filled with great joy, health, and success. It was an honour! I’m sure our paths will cross again. Thank you!”
