Son Heung-min has been named one of the most outstanding foreign players in the Premier League this season.
European soccer statistical publication Sofascore has named its Best 11 Premier League Foreign Players and Best 11 English Players based on their performances in the Premier League this season. Son Heung-min was named to the Premier League’s Best 11 Foreign Players on the flanks.

Son scored a come-from-behind goal to lead Tottenham to a 2-1 victory over Luton Town in the 30th round of the 2023-24 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Jan. 1. In the 41st minute, after Tottenham broke down the left flank on the break, Werner’s low cross was met by Brennan Johnson in front of the penalty area by Son, who finished with his right foot to rattle the Luton Town net.
For his performance against Luton Town, Son was named in the BBC’s Premier League Team of the Week. Crooks, who compiles the BBC’s Premier League weekly team of the week, said: ‘Tottenham can be the best team in the world, but they can also be the biggest losers. The only player who has been consistent for Tottenham recently is Son Heung-min. Without him, Tottenham would be sunk.
Son Heung-min scored a come-from-behind winner to beat Luton Town, giving Tottenham 17 points in the Premier League this season after conceding an early goal. Tottenham also came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 in the 27th round of the 2023-24 Premier League on March 3, with Son Heung-min scoring the winner. Spurs have come from behind to win six of the 16 Premier League games in which they have conceded a lead this season, making them the 토토사이트 most prolific Premier League club at turning games around.
Amid rave reviews of Son’s brilliance against Luton Town, Shearer, who holds the Premier League’s all-time individual goals record, said: “If I could pick one player in that position when the ball dropped, I would pick Son.
