Tottenham Hotspur’s captain Son Heung-min celebrated a significant milestone, marking nine years with the club since his arrival in 2015.
However, his achievement quickly became a target for Arsenal fans, who took to social media to mock the South Korean star for his lack of trophies with Spurs.

Nine years of excellence but no Silverware
Son has been a standout player for Tottenham since his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 for a then-record fee for an Asian footballer. Over the years, he has become one of the Premier League's most consistent performers, known for his speed, skill, and goal-scoring ability.
His impact on the pitch has been immense, making him a fan favorite and earning him the captaincy at the club.
Tottenham's official X (formerly Twitter) account celebrated Son’s nine-year milestone with a post that read, "Our captain then and now." The post highlighted his journey and his contributions to the team over the years. But the celebrations were short-lived as Arsenal fans saw an opportunity to troll their North London rivals.
Arsenal fans deliver brutal takedown
Despite Son's personal achievements and status as one of Tottenham’s all-time greats, Arsenal fans quickly pointed out the one glaring gap in his resume: a major trophy.
The mocking began almost immediately after Tottenham’s post, with Arsenal supporters flooding social media with comments about Son's lack of silverware during his time with the club.
One fan tweeted, "0 trophies since," while another chimed in with, "AAAANNNDDDD STILLLL ZEROOOOOOOO TROPHIESSS."
The trolls highlighted the fact that despite his individual brilliance, Son has yet to lift a major trophy with Tottenham, a fact that remains a sore point for both the player and the fans.
While Son continues to excel on the field, leading Spurs to numerous important victories and thrilling performances, the absence of a trophy remains a topic of discussion. The pressure is on Tottenham and their new manager, Ange Postecoglou, to finally deliver silverware and silence the critics.
