South Korea captain Son Heung-min brushes off goal drought ahead of World Cup

Wednesday, 27 May 2026, 06:27 · 1 min read

South Korea football captain Son Heung-min has dismissed concerns about his lack of goals for Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer this season, insisting his form remains strong and that scoring will come naturally if he prioritises the team. The 33-year-old forward, who has 54 international goals across 142 appearances, is one strike away from becoming South Korea's all-time leading scorer at World Cup tournaments. The Taegeuk Warriors (South Korea's national football team) open their 2025 campaign against the Czech Republic in Guadalajara on June 11, having reached the last 16 at the previous edition in Qatar.
