Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-min Son has seamlessly taken the reins as the club’s frontline leader following Harry Kane’s departure, delivering standout performances and crucial goals.
The South Korean forward has been in scintillating form this season, notching 14 goals and providing 8 assists in just 24 Premier League appearances.
His impact was particularly evident in Spurs’ recent clash against Aston Villa, where he scored a goal in injury time and provided two assists in what was the biggest game of the season till date for the club.
Son’s consistent excellence has garnered praise from pundits, with former striker Darren Bent recently choosing him over Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford.
During a recent radio show on talkSPORT, both Darren Bent and Andy Goldstein engaged in a debate over their preferred forward players.
Bent posed a question to his fellow journalist:
“Who would you rather have? Quick question, I need you to answer it now. Son or Rashford.”
Goldstein surprisingly opted for Manchester United’s #10, to which Bent expressed disbelief, replying:
“Honestly, look at everyone here looking at you.
“I’m taking Son all day long!”
Comparing Heung-min Son’s numbers with Marcus Rashford’s
Statistically, Son’s numbers speak volumes about his quality. With 117 goals and 66 assists in 292 Premier League appearances, he outshines Rashford’s 83 goals and 47 assists in 266 appearances, according to Transfermarkt.
Son’s impressive consistency and direct contributions underscore his status as one of the league’s top forwards.
Beyond the numbers, Son’s leadership and reliability make him an indispensable asset for Spurs, solidifying his position as a key figure in their quest for success.
