Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham), who scored a comeback goal in his return match for injury, showed off his strong performance by racing to third place in the winger's rankings in Europe's five major leagues.

Soccer media 'Score90' selected the top 5 by position on its official channel on the 21st (Korea time) based on the average rating of the three major leagues (English Premier League, Spanish Primera Liga, and Italian Serie A) after the opening of the 2024-2025 season.

Son Heung-min proudly ranked third in the winger's (side striker) position with an average score of 7.90 based on 'Score 90'. Only Arsenal's Bukayo Saka (8.23 points) and Barcelona's Ramin Yamal (7.94 points) recorded higher ratings than Son Heung-min. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (7.81 points) was fourth, and Atalanta's Ademola Lukman (7.68 points) was fifth.



It is worth paying attention to the difference between Son Heung-min and Yamal. It's only 0.04 points. So far, Yamal has scored four goals and six assists in La Liga, which is more productive in points than Son Heung-min, who scored three goals and two assists in the Premier League.

However, Son Heung-min missed two league games due to a hamstring injury in a European club competition at the end of last month. There was no significant difference in ratings that reflected various statistics and influence by game. Yamal, as he is known, is a winger called 'Messie's Advent' and 'the current trend'.



Son Heung-min is second only to Saka in terms of EPL. In addition to Salah, he is competing with players who are over 12 years old and younger than 32 years old. Saka was born in 2001 and Lukman was born in 1997.

Son Heung-min scored his team's fourth goal and third of the season with assistance from Pape Matar Sarr at West Ham on the 19th, leading the team to a 4-1 victory.



Meanwhile, the top five in the European three major leagues are former Son Heung-min teammate Giovanni Rossellso (Real Betis, 8.27 points), Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne (8.20 points), Barcelona's Hafeeña (8.08 points), Chelsea's Cole Palmer (7.95 points), and Everton's Dwight McNeil (7.61 points).
