British media “90min” released the top 10 rating based on the performance of the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) last six games on the 9th.
Son Heung-min ranked fifth with a 7.65 rating. He was recognized for his three goals and three assists in the last six games.
Son Heung-min is playing as a forward striker in this season. He is filling in the vacancy of Harry Kane, who moved to Bayern Munich.
Tottenham Hotspur has a striker called Hishalisson, but his below-expected performance has troubled coach Enze Postecoglou.
Postecoglou used Son as a forward striker, but the result is amazing. He is leading Tottenham’s attack by shaking off its poor performance last season.
Son Heung-min’s performance as a front-line striker was also compared to idol Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was a side attack resource, but he has been maintaining it after changing his position to a striker.
“Son Heung-min has the ability to finish with both feet. He is walking a path similar to Ronaldo who changed his position as a forward striker,” Sky Sports said.
Son has jumped into the race to become the top scorer in this season’s PL, as he played as a forward striker. He has scored 12 goals in 20 games, ranking third in overall goal tally.
Son has shown remarkable performance in recent months. He showed off his presence by scoring one goal and two assists against Newcastle United.
Since then, he has continued his upward trend with two goals and one assist against Everton, Brighton Albion and Bournemouth.
In particular, Son Heung-min’s 12th PL goal against Bournemouth led to a record of glory.
Tottenham announced on its official channel, “Son Heung-min’s goal against Bournemouth was selected as the goal of December.”
While playing full-time against Bournemouth, Son scored a goal with his left foot through Giovanni Lo Celso’s pass at the 26th minute of the second half. It was the moment when his 12th goal of the PL was scored.
Tottenham beat Bournemouth 3-1 with Son Heung-min’s 12th PL goal on their back.
Son Heung-min’s goal was proudly selected as the goal of the month in December with 46% of the vote.
It is the third time that Son Heung-min has won the Tottenham goal of the month honor this season. He also won the award in matches against Arsenal in September last year and Crystal Palace in October last year.
