Son Heung-Min Footballer Reviews

Son Heung-Min came out of nowhere and has become one of the biggest names in the Premier League. Nowadays, he is on the list of every manager in the top European Leagues. His pace, dribbling, and finishing make him class apart. He has been in red-hot form for a couple of seasons. Some comments suggest that he requested Tottenham's manager in 2016, leaving the club to get more playing time. But, in the very next fixture, he scored a brace, and the rest is history.

Son Heung-Min In Tottenham

With Harry Kane and after the Gareth Bale arrival, this trio makes a deadly combination. No defender or goalkeeper would like to imagine himself up against them. Son Heung-Min was brilliant from the beginning. Believe it or not, he scored four goals in the very second game of the season. The South Korean netted four goals against Southampton in an away fixture, and after a break of one game, he netted a brace against Manchester United. He added his first assist of the season to his name as well.

Son Heung-Min maintained the momentum, scored, and provided another assist in the next fixture against West Ham. Yet, his sublime form didn't end there; he added another goal to his tally in the next fixture against Burnley. After going goalless for two next games, the Korean wizard struck again and netted another goal in the crucial win against Manchester City. Son's major test came against Chelsea when he was against Silva and Kante. He was quite impressive but failed to score in a goalless draw. Still, he came back stronger in the next fixture, scoring one and providing an assist against Arsenal at home. He scored one goal against Liverpool in a 2-1 defeat and was able to end the year on a high. To crown the best season of his career, the striker won the Puskas Award for the Best Goal of the Year 2020. He scored this amazing goal on December 7, 2019, against Burnley. Son Heung-Min caught the ball in his field, and he got rid of the entire rival team scoring then a goal for history.

Son Heung-Min is one of the major reasons why experts nominate Tottenham as one of the favorites to lift the Premier League trophy. However, their manager Jose Mourinho himself, stated that he wouldn't be targeting the league. According to the Portuguese coach, just a place in the UEFA Champions league would work for him. Son Heung-Min has been phenomenal for the last two years. Most importantly, he was there for Tottenham when Harry Kane was sidelined due to injuries, and the London side needed a hero. He performed and delivered. That's what he's doing this year. Besides, he has some best names around him at the club, making every moment count. Tottenham are currently 8th on the table, but only 6 points separate them from the top 9 teams. Therefore, they have a good chance of doing the impossible this season, and Son Heung-Min can play a major role in winning Silverware for the club.
