Tottenham's Trio of Talents: Son, Solanke, and Spurs' Three Key Premier League Opening Game Records

The 2024/25 Premier League season kicks off for Tottenham as they face off against Leicester City on the final day of an action-packed opening weekend.

Ange Postecoglu will be aiming for a positive start to his second season in charge with the Australian confident he can end a 16-year trophy wait on his side of North London.

A trip to the newly-promoted Foxes will be a test for Postecoglu and his players but Spurs have an impressive record in their first game in recent EPL seasons.

The Sporting News takes a look at how Spurs have fared on opening night in Premier League action with new signing Dominic Solanks ready to partner Son Heung-min in attack.

Tottenham head to Leicester on the back of losing just one of their last eight opening Premier League games with the club an ever-present in the EPL since its creation in 1992/93.

A home defeat to Everton at the start of the 2020/21 season is the sole slip in that run and this is the first time they have faced an opening clash with Leicester.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min netted 19 EPL goals last season in his first campaign without Harry Kane as an attacking sidekick.

The South Korean has 120 EPL goals to his name at Tottenham, split across nine seasons, with 10+ scored in eight of those campaigns.

However, his opening day record is far less impressive, with just one goal scored in Tottenham's opening game of an EPL season since arriving ahead of the 2015/16 campaign.

Son has started Tottenham's last four successive EPL openers but his winner against Manchester City in  August 2021 is his sole goal.

Solanke's 19 EPL goals at Bournemouth last season persuaded Postecoglu to break Tottenham's club transfer record to wrap up a £55m deal ($71m) deal with the Cherries, 

The England international did not play a single Premier League minute in his time at Chelsea and scored just once in one and a half seasons at Liverpool.

His sample size is smaller than Son's, with just two opening game appearances at Bournemouth, but with one goal scored.
