Spurs and South Korean sensation, Heung-Min Son has lit up the PL in the last two seasons with some dazzling displays and some fantastic goals. The South Korean recently broke Ji-Sung Park's record and became the highest scoring Asian player in the PL.

A 1-0 over Crystal Palace, with Son netting past Speroni, gave Spurs the three points at Wembley and Son the record of scoring his 20th goal in the league. The player began his career in Seoul's youth teams before being picked up by German side Hamburg SV's youth team. Son made his professional Bundesliga debut for the club in 2010.

After spending three seasons at the club Son joined Leverkusen in 2013 and went on to continue producing brilliant performances that caught the eye of a number of clubs. Spurs won the race and signed the Korean in 2015 and the 25-year-old is in top form playing some fantastic football.
