(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Bo-in Jang = Heung-min Son (29), who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in England’s professional football, was ranked 23rd in the 2020 World Soccer Players Ranking by Spanish media.
Son Heung-min was ranked 23rd among the ‘100 Best Soccer Players of 2020’ announced by Marca, Spain on the 31st of last month (local time).
Son Heung-min, who ranked 81st in 2017 and 91st in 2018 in the annual rankings released by Marka, jumped to 18th in 2019 and remained in a relatively high position in 2020.
It is the only Asian player to be included in the list.
Marka explained to Son Heung-min, “Isn’t he one of the most underrated strikers in the world. Although Son Heung-min dominates various records, it is rarely mentioned when discussing good strikers.”
He added, “He has a superhuman breath with Harry Kane, raising the expectations of Tottenham fans this season.”
Like a’sticky combination’, Kane took the 22nd place right in front of Son Heung-min.
First place was Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), who won the FIFA’s’Player of the Year’ award in 2020.
After exploding 55 goals and 10 assists in 47 official matches in the 2019-2020 season, he is also scoring 20 goals and 5 assists in 18 games this season.
Jozua Kimmihi (Bayern Munich), Killian Mbafe (Paris Saint-Germain) and Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) followed Lewandowski, and Ronaldo, who finished fourth in 2019, descended one step to fifth.
In the 6th to 9th place were Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain), Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), and Elling Holland (Dortmund).
Messi, which has been at No. 1 since 2017, fell to No.
