Son Heung-min (Tottenham) has been selected as the player of December in the English Premier League (EPL). “Son Heung-min became the Player of the Month (EPL) winner in December,” the fan account “COYS News” reported on social media (SNS) on the 9th (Korea Standard Time). 스포츠토토 사이트 추천
The truth is unknown. Player of the Month awards are usually leaked out with photos of winners before an official announcement is made. No photos have been released for sure, but the specific announcement date was mentioned.
If Son is named Player of the Month as expected, he will receive his fifth career player of the month award. Son, who has won the award four times so far, has tied with legends including Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer (retired).
If he becomes the player of December, he will be on par with Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie (retired). Son Heung-min will make another new history in the Korean soccer community.
Former teammates Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Sergio Aguero (retired) received the most awards. The two players were chosen as the Player of the Month seven times each. If they win the Player of the Month award and win two more awards, they will be tied. At the current pace, it seems possible.
Son Heung-min, who scored four goals and four assists in seven league games in December alone, is competing with Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton), Mohammed Kudus (West Ham United), Michael Olise (Crystal Palace), Cole Palmer (Chelsea) Marcos Senesi and Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth) for the Player of the Month award.
Son has recorded the most offensive points among the eight candidates. As the player of the month is determined by fans and expert voting, it is true that Son has gained an advantage. Senesi and Solanke, both of whom belong to Bournemouth, are also considered strong contenders. They are the core of Bournemouth, which have won four games in six games in December. Solanke, a striker, has scored six goals, and Senesi, a defender, has scored two goals and one assist, leading to three scoreless matches. However, since fans who support Bournemouth may vote differently, Son seems to have an advantage.
