What else does SON have to show?
What else should Son show? Son claims that he is not a legend in the Premier League.
Britain’s “Talk Sports” said, “The host Andy Townsend insisted that Son Heung-min continues to write history at Tottenham Hotspur, but he should not be considered a legend of the PL.”
The media outlet said, “He became the fifth player to score the most goals in Tottenham’s history in the 2-1 victory over Luton Town. It was Son’s 160th career goal, and with this goal, Son has risen to a higher position than Tottenham legend Cliff Jones on Tottenham’s all-time top scorer list. With only Harry Kane, Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Smith, and Martin Chivers ahead of Son, Son is currently an icon of Tottenham,” he explained about Son.
However, Townsend, who played for Chelsea in the past and is currently the host of “Talk Sports,” thought Son Heung-min was not enough to be called a legend in the PL.
Son Heung-min is the best player and a great player.
According to 토토사이트 Sports, Townsend said, “Son Heung-min is the best player, a great player. However, we need to use the word ‘legendary’ in the right context. Someone has included such a content in my script before, and it is not correct.”
“I think Son Heung-min was a great player at Tottenham. But is he a legend? No,” Townsend said.
Son has shown consistent performance in PL. He has consistently ranked above the upper middle level in PL for several seasons, including becoming the first Asian player to top the top scorer in PL during the 2021-22 season alone.
Since the 2016-17 season, Son has scored in double digits in the PL. Even last season, when he was labeled as sluggish, Son had 10 goals and six assists, making a remarkable record.
He scored the most points and helped the most.
He also leads the team as Tottenham’s captain and key striker this season, scoring 15 goals and eight assists, the most points and the most help among Tottenham players.
Talk Sports also said, “He has scored more than 15 goals in three of the past four seasons. Of the 15 goals he scored this season, five were finishers, and Son has 12 points for Tottenham this season,” adding that Son has shown steady performance and is playing an important role in Tottenham this season as well.
In addition, Son Heung-min, who left the record and played for Tottenham for a long time, is considered a legend of Tottenham in name and reality. In particular, since Kane left, Son Heung-min is the only player who can be called the new “Mr. Tottenham.”
Son’s biggest strength is consistency.
Despite being called to the international tournament during the season, Son Heung-min was highly praised for maintaining his consistency while other Tottenham players went through ups and downs.
Gareth Crook, a football expert on BBC who selected Son as the team of the week after the Luton match, also said of Son, “Tottenham lacks consistency. Tottenham plays like the best team in the world for a while, but it also becomes a permanent loser for a while,” adding, “Fortunately, Son has shown steady performance at Tottenham. Tottenham would have sunk without Son.”
Son Heung-min, who started the match against Luton, had bad luck, hitting the post twice with a single shot in the first half. However, in the second half, he had luck in getting into the goal after being deflected off the opponent’s defense.
He is in good condition and is impressive.
“Hishalisson has been in good form for the past few months and has been impressive. He has proven himself to be a reliable and threatening resource when he is healthy,” Spurs Web said. “Over the past few months, Tottenham have reportedly tried to recruit a striker. However, Jones said Tottenham is likely to prioritize recruiting top-quality flankers, and he is supporting coach Ange Postecoglou, who will use Son as No. 9 next season.”
According to the Spurs Web, Jones said on the Rank FC podcast, “This summer, Tottenham will be able to find more strikers on the side than No. 9 (striker). This is because Son has been very effective.”
“Tottenham could recruit young and promising strikers to support Son Heung-min and Hishalisson,” Spurs Webb said. “The club is also expected to spend most of its summer transfer window budget on top-notch No. 6 (defensive midfielder) and seasoned wingers.”
