SEOUL (Reuters) - Son Heung-min broke the single-season scoring record for a South Korean in Europe and helped Tottenham Hotspur finish second in the Premier League this year, but the 24-year-old says he is still growing as a player and is far from the finished article.

Son's 21 goals for Spurs in all competitions eclipsed the 19 South Korean icon Cha Bum-kun scored for German side Leverkusen in 1985/86 and while he knows he accomplished a lot this season, he was keen to downplay comparisons to the greats of the game.
