Son is exhausted. Son Heung-min's second top scorer is virtually impossible

Son has been performing quite well this season. He played as a left winger early in the season, but continued to score goals starting with a hat trick against Burnley in the fourth round, when he switched to a front-line striker. He also scored two goals in the North London derby match against Arsenal, and scored another goal in the match against Liverpool.

Since then, he has continued to accumulate goals. Prior to being drafted by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), he was also in the top five with 12 goals. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. did not stage proper offense without Son.

Some said that he might be the second top scorer thanks to Son's enthusiastic performance. Son scored 23 goals in the league during the 2021-22 season. At that time, Son had only 11 goals in 28 league games. Salah, who had scored 20 goals in the same period up until then, was expected to easily take the top scorer. Salah, who showed off his insane sense of scoring, ran alone.

However, with 10 games left in the league, Son began to lie down and score goals. He has scored a whopping 12 goals in the following 10 games. He gradually narrowed the gap with Salah, including a hat-trick against Aston Villa, and was honored as the top scorer with a miraculous multi-goal against Norwich City in the final match of the league. It was quite a contrast to Salah's four goals in the same period.

Son Heung-min became the first Asian to win the top five scoring titles in Europe's top five leagues. Chances were high even when he left for the Asian Cup. However, after finishing the Asian Cup, his scoring capacity significantly declined. He helped Brennan Johnson score a theatrical goal as a substitute for Brighton & Hove Albion, which was his return match, but stayed silent against the Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Starting anew, Son displayed robust performance in matches against Crystal Palace (one goal) and Aston Villa (one goal and two assists), and started scoring goals. He also scored a goal in the match against Luton Town on June 30. However, he remained silent since then.

He failed to score a goal in the three consecutive matches of West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, and Newcastle United held in April. While Son Heung-min remained silent, the race's competitors took the lead one by one. Erling Holland (Manchester City) solidified his top spot with 20 goals, and Cole Palmer (Chelsea) tied for first with four goals against Everton. Alexander Isak (Newcastle) also scored 17 goals.

Talk Sports in the U.K. also shed light on Son's potential as the top scorer. "We have eight scorers in the Premier League right now. We look at the competitors who are the top scorers," the media said on Tuesday, referring to Son's name.

"Tottenham's captain, Son Heung-min, has also scored 15 goals. His chances of winning the top scorer as they did in the 2021-22 season are low, but it was still a good season. Son has not shown the same performance since his return from the Asian Cup. Son looked exhausted." Son viewed Son's chances of becoming the top scorer as practically low.

Recently, Son is expected to change his position without scoring a goal in three games. Some suggested that he should return to the left winger in his original position, not the front-line striker he used to play. Son is expected to play as the left winger in the North London derby against Arsenal on Friday.
