5 underrated players who have been brilliant this season

AFC Bournemouth v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Son features on this list - here celebrating one of his two goals against AFC Bournemouth this past weekend

#2 Son Heung-Min (Tottenham)

He is a verstile player
A versatile player, Son's efforts in the final third have often gone unnoticed

Son Heung-Min, at 25, is rightly described as Asia's biggest star at the moment and continues his development in one of the world's toughest leagues. There are few players who can match the winger in terms of goals, displays and overall contribution to their respective sides.

A versatile attacker, his ability to use both feet equally well is a useful asset for manager Mauricio Pochettino to utilise. With explosive pace, excellent positional awareness and finishing which continues to improve, he's a genuine counter-attacking threat.

This season alone, he has netted 18 goals and created nine assists across all competitions for Tottenham. On average, he takes 2.5 shots, has 85.5% passing accuracy and 1.8 successful dribbles.

Despite playing in a highly popular league, Son doesn't appear to get the praise he truly deserves.
