The British Telegraph said on the 19th (Korea Standard Time), “We will evaluate top-class players in various sports as this year is nearing its end. Following last Monday’s women’s soccer, today is men’s soccer. In order to enter the BEST 30, you have to play for an English club, and the form you have shown so far this season is the basis,” he said, listing the players one by one.
The third-ranked Son Heung-min appeared, following first-ranked Mohamed Salah and second-ranked Erling Holan. The Telegraph reported, “After suffering from injuries for a long time last season, Son Heung-min, who was freed from the pain, began a new era at Tottenham. As the captain, Son was ruthless in front of the gate and created an intense atmosphere under coach Enze Postecoglou. Tottenham will miss Son Heung-min very much as he leaves for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.”
Son Heung-min is the only player left among the “DESK line” that Tottenham boasted in the past. The first player to leave North London was Christian Eriksen. Eriksen, who was recruited for 14.15 million euros from Ajax, was in charge of Tottenham’s attack for nine years from 2013 to 2013. With his sharp toes, he played a role as a coordinator, not only linking but also scoring goals.
Dele Allida left afterwards. After being acquired from MK Dons for 6.63 million euros, the team briefly moved up to the world-class track. However, the team started going downhill. After suffering from “falling without wings,” he was released to Everton. Recently, he has revealed that he suffered various difficulties including sexual abuse in his childhood, which has caused people to feel saddened.
Finally, soul partner Harry Kane left. He was active as a living legend for Tottenham and England, but he was finally ready to say goodbye to his trophy-free career. Munich, which had been in a hurry to become a world-class striker since Robert Lewandowski left, approached. As a result, a contract was signed for a total of 120 million euros (about 170.7 billion won).
Son Heung-min, the captain of the team, saved Tottenham in crisis. Since the opening, Son has displayed remarkable performances in the matches against Burnley in the fourth round (three goals, five wins), Arsenal in the sixth round (two goals, two draws), Liverpool in the seventh round (one goal, 2-1 win), Fulham in the ninth round (one goal, one assist, 2-0 win), Crystal Palace in the 10th round (one goal, 2-1 win), Manchester City in the 14th round (one goal, two assists, three draws) and Newcastle United in the 16th round (one goal, two assists, four assists) with 14 offensive points (10 goals and four assists).
He has set a new record by scoring against Newcastle in the last game. He is ranked 23rd with the most goals scored (113 goals) in PL history and has scored double-digit goals (14 goals → 12 goals → 12 goals → 11 goals → 17 goals → 23 goals → 10 goals + a) for eight consecutive seasons. Son has established himself as a PL icon following Tottenham’s Living Legend.
Son Heung-min is set to sign a new contract. Earlier, Football Insider stated, “According to sources, Tottenham are preparing to offer Son a new contract, and he is eager to dedicate himself to the club. Son is thrilled by the influence of manager Enze Postecoglou and wants to play a key role in the long-term future. Tottenham is ready to talk with Son about their new contract. Tottenham looks to invoke the option of a one-year extension on a contract that is valid until 2025, but negotiations for a completely new long-term contract can begin. Son is paid £190,000 (W313 million) a week, and his maximum salary is guaranteed.”
England’s Team Talk also said, “He wants to leave the rest of his career to Tottenham and the club is ready to offer a new contract that will include a huge pay raise. Son has been moved by the way the club has progressed under Postecoglou and is eager to extend his contract. Son is determined to play a key role for Tottenham now and in the future. Tottenham fans will welcome the news of Son’s contract renewal.”
“There is little sign that Son will lose form,” Spurs Webb said. “Considering his general physical fitness, he can play at the highest level until he is in his mid-30s. As a result, Tottenham needs a long-term companion, saying, “It is outrageous that Son will be tied to a long-term contract, breaking the previous policy of not offering a long-term contract to an older player.”
Hwang Hee-chan ranked 19th after the world classes. “Hwang Hee-chan has been far from scoring multiple points since joining the team, but he has been active under coach Gary O’Neill this season. Hwang Hee-chan deserves a new contract,” he said. 슬롯머신
Hwang Hee-chan has been showing great determination since the opening. He has scored eight goals in the 16th round of the Premier League against Brighton in the 2nd round, Crystal Palace in the 4th round, Liverpool in the 5th round, Manchester City in the 7th round, Aston Villa in the 8th round, Newcastle United in the 10th round, Fulham in the 13th round and Burnley in the 15th round. He also helped in the 9th round against Bournemouth and Sheffield United in the 11th round. During the period, Hwang Hee-chan also set a milestone of “aggression points in five consecutive games” and “goals in six consecutive games in the Molinho Stadium League.”
The score is also impressive. As for the score, the team garnered eight points through matches against Manchester City in the seventh round (one goal, 2-1 win), Aston Villa in the eighth round (one goal, 1-1 draw), Newcastle in the 10th round (one goal, 2-1 draw), and Burnley in the 15th round (one goal, 1-0 win). As for the Assistance, the team garnered three points through matches against Bournemouth in the ninth round (one assist, 2-1 win). In other words, Hwang Hee-chan scored 11 points in attack.
O’Neill affectionately dubbed Hwang Hee-chan “Chany.” According to the British newspaper Birmingham Mail, when asked about Hwang Hee-chan, O’Neill replied, “Of course, I am hopeful. Nothing has been substantially updated. The club is definitely talking to “Chany,” and I am a big fan of “Chany,” so I hope things go well.”
Hwang Hee-chan is also on the verge of renewing his contract. Earlier this month, Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market expert known for his signature “Here we go,” claimed, “Wolverhampton has agreed to renew his contract with Hwang Hee-chan. The new contract is valid until June 2028 and comes with an extension option. With this contract, Hwang Hee-chan will be on the same level as Wolverhampton’s highest-paid player.”
It is an unexpected contract. Considering the option of extension, Hwang Hee-chan and Wolverhampton will continue to work together until June 2029. They will also become the highest paid players in their clubs. According to the U.S. statistics media Spotrack, the highest paid players in Wolverhampton are Pablo Sarabia, who is currently earning 90,000 pounds (148.4 million won) a week and 4.68 million pounds (77 won).
Official is only a matter of time. “Wolverhampton forward Hwang Hee-chan has agreed to extend his contract with the club until 2028. Last month, the media reported that Wolverhampton and Hwang Hee-chan were negotiating over a new contract, and O’Neill confirmed it himself.”
O’Neill said, “I am glad that Hwang Hee-chan has given everything to me, the staff, and my colleagues and worked very hard since I took the helm. He has scored some very important goals. Hwang Hee-chan is a great person and I am happy to accompany him for a long time. He visited me and the staff yesterday and thanked them for being with me until I signed a new contract. This shows what kind of person Hwang Hee-chan is and how important he is in the group.” After suffering from injuries large and small, Hwang Hee-chan is still in full form and is playing as a Wolverhampton goaltender.
