Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur and Hwang Hee-chan of Wolverhampton Wanderers have wrapped up their 2023-2024 Premier League seasons that featured some individual success negated by their clubs’ struggles.
Son picked up an assist in Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England, on Sunday (local time). By setting up the first of Dejan Kulusevski’s two goals, 한국을 Son finished the season with 17 goals and 10 assists — the third time he reached double figures in both goals and assists in a Premier League season. He ended up tied with eight other players for third place in the assists category.
Son, 31, became the sixth player in Premier League history — and the first Asian — to accomplish that feat at least three times, joining Eric Cantona, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Mohamed Salah.
In the goal department, Son has now scored in double figures in eight consecutive seasons, with his 17 goals putting him alone in eighth place. During this past campaign, Son scored his 120th goal to pull into a tie with Steven Gerrard for 22nd place on the all-time list, and appeared in his 400th match for Spurs in April.
