Son has returned to his best form this season, leaving behind last season when he was somewhat sluggish. With Harry Kane gone, Son filled his scoring capacity and showed off his multiples of moving between the left and the center. He also showed leadership by leading the team as captain. Enze Postecoglou was at the core of his tactics and maintained his position even when Hishalisson, Manor Solomon, and Timo Werner were injured one after another.

He wrote various scoring records for Tottenham and solidified his position as the best player in Asian history in the Premier League. He scored 17 goals and nine assists, making him among the top contenders. Son Heung-min also had less impact as Tottenham suffered some ups and downs in the second half of the year, but the fact remains the same as Tottenham’s best player and the best striker in this season’s Premier League.

Nevertheless, Son was shunned. The Premier League secretariat announced on its official website eight nominees for the 2023-24 Premier League Player of the Year award, but Son was absent. Phil Foden, Erling Holan, Alexander Isak, Martin Odegaard, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Ollie Watkins, and Virgil van Dijk were on the list.

Son Heung-min was also excluded from the Premier League’s forecast for this year’s team. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher added Palmer, Foden, and Watkins to his team’s offense. He chose a 3-4-3 formation with Kevin De Bruyne and Odegaard on his left and right sides. Manchester United legend Gary Neville composed of Palmer, Holan, and Foden. Neither Carragher nor Neville considered Son Heung-min.

The soccer media “Score 90” predicted the Premier League player of the year, with Foden the most likely 50 percent, followed by Rodri, Rice, Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Holan, Watkins, Odegaard, The Bruyne, and Van Dijk. Son Heung-min was also absent.

It is surprising that all the players mentioned are the best players in the Premier League this season, but Son Heung-min is not even talking.
