The leaked version of the player of the month for December 2023-24 Premier League was released on the 11th (Korea Standard Time). The Premier League secretariat will select the player of the month in collaboration with EA Sports. Dominic Solanke (26, Bournemouth) will win the award on multiple SNS channels, which are considered highly proficient in news related to EA Sports.
On the 4th, the Premier League secretariat released eight players for the player of the month candidate for December. Son Heung-min and Solanke, as well as Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Trent Alexander Arnold (Liverpool), Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton), Michael Olise (Crystal Palace), Mohammed Kudus (West Ham United), and Marcos Senesi (Bonmouth) were selected.
Son Heung-min, Solanke, and Arnold are considered leading candidates. First of all, Son scored the most offensive points (four goals, four assists) among the candidates with four goals and four assists, while his team’s performance was four wins, one draw, and two losses. Solanke had the most goals (six goals) among the candidates, and his team’s performance was four wins, one draw, and one loss. Arnold had one goal and two assists as a defender, and his team’s performance was best with four wins and two draws, and he also had three clean sheets.
Tottenham fans and Korean fans expected Son to win his fifth career championship. After joining Tottenham, Son was crowned the Premier League player of the month in September 2016, April 2017, October 2020, and September 2023. With the accumulated fourth time so far, he was able to match Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, and Mohamed Salah at the fifth time.
In particular, he faced off against his “competitor” Solanke and won. Tottenham won the game 3-1 against Bournemouth in the 20th round of the Premier League, the last game of 2023. Furthermore, while Son Heung-min tasted the goal, Solanke remained silent.
So, some predicted Son’s chances of winning the award, but Solanke will be honored in the end. It is safe to say that Solanke’s chances of winning the award are actually “100%.” Usually, the leaked version is released before the official announcement of the Premier League secretariat, but it has never been missed. As a result, Son should seek his fifth award next time. 온라인경마
