SEOUL (Reuters) - Son Heung-min is well on his way to carving out as successful a club career in England as Park Ji-sung did at Manchester United but the free-scoring Spurs forward must now deliver at the World Cup if he is to become one of South Korea's all-time greats.

Son scored 18 goals in all competitions for Tottenham Hotspur this season, playing a key role in the London club's march to the Champions League last 16, FA Cup semi-finals and a third-place finish in the Premier League.
