Son Heung-min is a versatile striker, with standout contributions in chance creation and goal efficiency. Reflecting his position and playing style, he has brought tremendous value to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this season with his exceptional ability to retain possession and deliver decisive passes in the attacking third. His Progressive Carrying and Passing percentages underline his importance in build-ups, whilst his high assist ratio indicates that he is not just a finisher but also a prolific creator. Despite less frequent touches in the penalty area, his shooting percentage and goal threat, although not the highest, are reasonable and his duel win percentage hints at his physical prowess in one-on-one situations. Defensively, he has shown satisfactory one vs one defending capabilities, offering valuable support in pressing and disrupting opponents' play. However, his aerial duel win percentage and penalty area defending need improvement. His lesser-known defensive capabilities could provide unexpected balance in high-stake situations, given his usual offensive role and responsibilities as a striker or left winger. At 31, Son Heung-min is in his prime and likely to maintain this level for several more seasons. However, focusing on improving his threat in the penalty area could maximise his overall contribution.
