British media 'TBR Football' praised Son Heung-min on the 28th (Korea time) 'He has already done what no other Premier League player can match this season'

TBR Football 'Enze Postecoglou's side drew Leicester City in their first game of the season. However, Tottenham scored four goals against Everton at home. It quelled the concerns that remained on a frustrating start. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min scored two goals.

TBR Football 'But Son Heung-min also did something that wasn't related to the goal. No other Premier League player can follow. The match against Leicester City, which was far from the best, may have been questioned. Son Heung-min showed an impressive performance against Everton.

TBR Football is superior to other top-ranked players in the league, including Erling Holan (Man City). He recorded more possessions (6 times) in the Final Third area than any other striker. It was evident when Son Heung-min stole the ball from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and scored a goal.

TBR Football 'This shows the pressure Postecoglou ordered from the strikers. Son Heung-min is over 30 years old, but shows 75% shooting accuracy, showing no signs of aging. He seemed to have regressed a bit, but Postecoglou was delighted with Son's performance against Everton.

Postecoglou said "Son Heung-min was really good. The reason I put him in the middle is because Pickford is a big part of the build-up play. Sonny is our best presser. He is incredibly good. He enjoys the role.'

Earlier, Son Heung-min (Tottenham) was listed at the top of the market value among soccer players in their 30s or older.

The soccer media 『Planet Football" highlighted this particular ranking on the 28th 'There are many golden oldies over the age of 30 who are considered the most valuable players in the world, although interest in young players is increasing in the transfer market this summer.
