The South Korean superstar is deadly on either foot, can break forward with pace, has tremendous agility and balance and is just as good supplying chances to the likes of Harry Kane as he is finishing them himself.

Even with a 2019/20 campaign that saw him miss six crucial games through injury, Son was still Tottenham's most valuable player in front of goal with 11 goals and 10 assists in the league alone. He averaged 2.90 shots per ninety, more than the likes of Kane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Anthony Martial, and his 1.47 key passes per game yielded an xA (Expected Assists) tally of -3.28 more assists than what he should have registered, showcasing his eye for an inch perfect pass.

All of these stats came for a side that, for the most part, was struggling to find anything resembling consistency as well. Son will undoubtedly prove to be one of the main men for Jose Mourinho's Tottenham next season and, with numbers like these, keeping him fit for the whole season could well be the difference between Europa and Champions League football for Spurs.
