Son Heung-min will play a home match against Everton in Round 11 of the English Premier League for the 2022-2023 season to be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 16th (Korean time).
Heung-min Son, the top scorer in the Premier League for the 2021-2022 season, suffered a long silence after the 2022-2023 season started. He broke the silence by scoring a hat-trick in the 8th round against Leicester City. In September, he scored consecutive goals in the second match of the match (Costa Rica, Cameroon) and climbed on the rise.
However, in the 9th round of the Premier League against Arsenal and the third match against Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany) in the UEFA Champions League, the uptrend subsided.
Heung-Min Son’s rebirth coincides with the starting point of Ryan Sessegnon.
He delivered an assist in the 10th round match against Brighton and Hove Albion, where Sessegnon, not Ivan Pericci, started, and exploded a multi-goal in the 4th match of the Champions League against Frankfurt. Sessegnon worked with Sessegnon in the opening game against Southampton, who recorded their first assist of the season, in the 6th round against Fulham, which was a threat even without an attacking point, and against Leicester City, who made a hat-trick.
In particular, it flew in the 13th against Frankfurt. In addition to multi-goals, he swept the Champions League Match Day 4 player Lee Joo and Lee Joo goals. He was, of course, included in the team of the week.
Perisic is a veteran who was actively promoted by manager Antonio Conte. He also has experience working with Inter Milan in Serie A in Italy. His strength on the offensive side is clear. However, when Perisic played, Son Heung-min’s range of activities narrowed. He also had trouble breathing with Harry Kane, including carrying the burden of defense.
Manager Conte is also in a situation where he can’t help but worry about Son Heung-min’s left flank partner.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is currently scoring 96 goals in his Premier League career. He is ranked 35th in the all-time scoring list. Another goal equals 34th place Emmanuel Adebayor (97 goals).
