Heung-min Son has been named new captain of Tottenham.

The striker takes the armband from Hugo Lloris, who is in the process of leaving.

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."
