The South Korean scored some crucial goals last season

Son Heung-Min is up there with both Kane and Alli as one of Tottenham’s most important players going forward.

The South Korean forward chipped in with 14 goals and six assists last season in the league which was an incredible contribution. His return was pivotal to them finishing as high as they did with a lot of his goals coming at important junctures in the season.

He averaged a rating of 7.14, according to Whoscored, in 34 Premier League appearances last season, perfectly illustrating how consistent the South Korean has been for Tottenham. To put that into perspective, Alli, who was being touted as the player of the year, had an average rating of 7.35, demonstrating how good a season Son had.

At just 24 years old, the forward is still very young, and if Tottenham are able to keep hold of him, he is likely to become a key figure in the Spurs starting 11.
