Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-min Son managed to win the Korean Player of the Year award for the fifth time in his career, becoming the first-ever man to win the award so many times.
The forward has been on fire this season, and has been one of, if not the best player in the Premier League this season.
Son has managed to score 10 goals in the Premier League this season, and is the joint-second highest scorer in the league behind Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin. In 12 matchdays so far, Spurs’ number 7 has also managed to set up 4 goals.
His newfound partnership with Harry Kane has been one of the most outstanding revelations of the 20/21 season so far.
The pair have managed to share 19 goal contributions between each other and are one of the main reasons why Spurs find themselves at the top of the Premier League table for the first time in so many years.
Spurs’s current situation, however amazing, has a problem in the absence of Champions League football. Players of Son and Kane’s calibre demand to compete in the top tier of European competition.
However, it is something that almost seems guaranteed for the London whites given their performances in the league so far this season.
With that said, the club is currently in negotiations with Son regarding a contract extension at Spurs, which will see him extend his stay at the club by 5 to 6 years, according to Fabrizio Romano’s “Here We Go” podcast on Patreon.
The Korean Player of the Year recently changed his agent, and they reportedly have very good working relations with Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy. All parties are very interested and happy about signing the new deal, and it is only a matter of time before the extension is official.
