Son Heung-min is writing the history of Asian players in European football. Son Heung-min’s footsteps are soon becoming history.
In the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), in the 2019-2020 season, after having a complicated period of fracture injuries and military training, Son Heung-min was the first Asian player to join the EPL 10 (goals)-10 (help) club with 11 goals and 10 assistance.

This season, he also scored 100 goals in total after joining Tottenham in the 17th round against Leeds United on the 2nd. Founded in 1882, Tottenham has scored 100 goals for the 18th time in the history, and Son Heung-min is the first non-Irish player.
In addition, in the league cup semi-final against Brentford on the 6th, he scored 150 goals in total in Europe. This is also the most goal in the European stage in the history of Asian players.
Filipino FC Barcelona (Spain) legend Paulino Alcantara scored 395 goals, but it is difficult to compare directly since it was before the Spanish Primera Liga was launched and even a friendly match was included.
Son Heung-min’s record march continued on this day. The expected goal did not come out, but with the help, he set the EPL 100th attack point.
According to European football statistics company Opta, it is the first Asian player and the seventh record in the history of the Tottenham club.
Harry Kane has the most with 186 (155 goals, 31 assists, 225 matches), Teddy Sheringham (141) (97 goals, 44 assists, 236 matches), Robbie Keane 115 (91 goals, 24 assists, 238 matches), Christian Eriksen 113 Dogs (51 goals, 62 assists, 226 matches), Jermaine Depot 110 (91 goals, 19 assists, 276 matches), and Darren Anderton 102 (34 goals, 68 assists, 299 matches) recorded 100 attack points based on the EPL.

The football closing season in England is one of the world’s leading leagues. It is classified as the top league in Europe, and until the success of Manchester United Park Ji-sung, formerly known as the’oxygen tank’, it was at a level beyond the reach of Asian players.
However, Son Heung-min surpassed all the records of his senior Park Ji-sung, and in November 2019, he broke through the most goals (121 goals) in the Korean European stage official game by former coach Cha Bum-geun, a Korean football legend.
From now on, Son Heung-min’s path becomes the European football history of Asian players.

After Mohammed Salah (Liverpool, 13 goals) with 12 goals in the league, team-mate Kane and Son Heung-min, a tie for second in the scoring rankings, add two more goals to create a tie record. Now, it is possible to turn the season turning point and break through 20 goals in a season as well as the most goals.
Not only this. The first EPL scorer challenge for Asian players is also ongoing. Competitor Salado was silent in a match against Manchester United on this day. Kane’s pursuit is strong, but it is not impossible to add another first Asian title at this season’s pace.
