Third 10-15 Challenge!
Son Heung-min, who continues to be active this season, was pointed out as one of the best players in the Premier League.
British media outlet Football 365 selected and introduced the best 11 players of the Premier League season based on their performances this season on the 9th. Son Heung-min, who ranks sixth and fourth in the league’s scoring and helping rankings, respectively, along with his outstanding performance of 15 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League this season, has been listed as the best 11 flanker in the Premier League season. Football 365 mentioned that Tottenham’s captain, who scored 15 goals and 10 assists this season, is the best finisher in the Premier League.
Son is aiming to achieve 10 goals and 10 assists for the third time in his career this season. If he adds one assist in the remaining seven Premier League matches this season, Son will be able to achieve 10 goals and 10 assists for the first time in three seasons since the 2020-21 season, when he had 17 goals and 10 assists. In the 2019-20 season, Son scored 11 goals and 10 assists, becoming the first Asian player to achieve 10 goals and 10 assists in a Premier League season.
If Son achieves 10 goals and 10 assists this season, he will match the records of Verkamp and Henry, who represented Arsenal. Only five players have scored 10 goals and 10 assists or more four times in the Premier League. Rooney has scored 10 goals and five assists, while Salah, Drogba, Cantona and Lampard have scored 10 goals and 10 assists four times. Son is approaching a record that will be considered a Premier League legend beyond Tottenham.
Son was included in the Premier League Secretariat’s “Player of the Month” award last month, as he scored three goals and two assists in four Premier League matches. Son aims to become the fifth player of the month award in his career. In the history of the Premier League, only seven players including Gerrard, Ronaldo, Rooney and Van Persie have won the “Player of the Month” award more than five times.
In the 30th round of this season’s Premier League against Luton Town held last month, Son scored his 160th career goal for Tottenham. In the 31st round of this season’s Premier League against West Ham United on the 3rd, Son made 400 career appearances for Tottenham. Son Heung-min, who ranks fifth in the top scoring list for Tottenham, became the first non-European player to play 400 career games for Tottenham.
British media outlet The Athletic said, “Son Heung-min is a great player in the Premier League. Ridiculous records prove it,” adding, “Son Heung-min is undoubtedly a legend of Tottenham. Is he a legend in the Premier League?” and added, “He was not even a member of the club that won the Premier League, but based on his records, it is worth reviewing his rise as a Premier League legend.”
The media outlet said that since Son joined the Premier League nine years ago, his goals and assists have been remarkably high. Kane and Salah are the only players who have scored higher overalls than Son’s 178 goals and 60 assists. The Bruyne, who joined Manchester City at the same time as Son, is one level below Son. The three players who have recorded the most offensive points in the Premier League over the past nine years are clearly legends in the Premier League, he said, adding that Son Heung-min should also be considered as a legend in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Holland Man City and Saka Anal were named as the best 11 strikers in this season’s Premier League along with Son Heung-min Tottenham Hotspur. Foden Man City, Rice Anal and Rodri Man City were deployed as midfielders, while Zinchenko Anal, Gabriel Anal, Van Dyke Riverpool and Arnold Riverpool built defense teams. Areola West Ham United was chosen as the goalkeeper. Four players were named as the best 11 by Arsenal, the largest number, and three players were named as the best 11 by Manchester City. Son Heung-min was the only one named as the season best 11 by Tottenham. 토토사이트
