• Heung-Min has enjoyed an illustrious career with Tottenham, scoring 116 goals for them

Tottenham Hotspur winger Heung-Min Son has finally explained why he will not get married until he retires.

The South Korean star is widely regarded as one of the best wingers in the world, thanks to his incredible talent and skills.

But unlike the majority of his fellow football stars, Heung-Min has elected to lead a somewhat unusual social life.

The former Bayer Leverkusen ace leads a private life away from the pitch and has hardly been involved in any relationship drama.

Nicknamed the David Beckham of Asia, Son understandably has no plans to find a partner and settle down.

Sportskeeda reports that the football star recently opened up on his decision not to get married, at least until he retires.

Speaking at an all-girls disability football session organised by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, Son said:

“My father says this and I agree, as well. When you marry, the number one will be family, wife and kids, and then football," he explained.

"I want to make sure that while I play at the top level, football can be number one. You don’t know how long you can play at the top level. When you retire, or when you are 33 or 34, you can still have a long life with your family," he added.

The 31-year-old started his career as a youth player with FC Seoul and Hamburger SV back in 2008.

He went on to make his senior debut for Hamburger SV in 2010 before joining Bayer Leverkusen in 2013.

After spending more than two years with Leverkusen, Son sealed a dream move to the Premier League with Tottenham.

He has gone on to play close to 300 games for the north Londoners, scoring 116 goals in the process.
