Football Tribe Awards: Top 10 Asian Players in Europe (3-1)

Son Heung-min is surely the biggest football star in Korea since Cha Bum-kun and Park Ji-sung. Having recorded 21 goals and seven assists in 47 games last season, the Tottenham No. 7 also placed 14th in the “Premier League Power Rankings” for the 2016-17 season.

In the second half of 2017, the 25-year-old player has developed his forte including technicality, finishing, and speed. With his ability to use both feet, the versatile attacker has appeared in 25 games and scored nine goals, four of which came in four consecutive December appearances. If he finds more consistency in his performances, Son has the potential to become the best striker in Asian footballing history.
