Son Heung-min 32, Tottenham Hotspur is aiming to win his second Premier League Player of the Month award this season. It is a golden opportunity to win the most prize among active players along with Mohamed Salah 32, Liverpool.

The PL Secretariat announced the candidate for March 2024 through its official website on the 4th. The final winner will be determined through fan voting and a committee vote composed of experts.

The total number of nominees is seven. Son Heung-min, Alexander Isak Newcastle, Alexis McAleister Liverpool, Rodrigo Munis Fulum, Cole Palmer Chelsea, Antoine Semeno Bournemouth, and Ben White Arnsal are among the nominees.

Son had three goals and two assists during the four matches that took place in March. Son has ample chance to win the award, as he has the most points scored along with Isak, Munis with four goals and one assist, and Palmer with three goals and two assists. For Son, this is an opportunity to celebrate his recent 160 goals and 400 appearances at Tottenham.

The game started with Crystal Palace. Son scored a decisive goal to help his team come from behind to win 3-1. He scored his 13th goal in the league by banking on his superb penetration into the back space and an explosive run before finishing the game.

Son’s toes didn’t cool down. Son made one goal and two assists against Aston Villa. He assisted Brennan Johnson in an additional goal with an altruistic pass in the eighth minute of the second half, and in the extra minute of the second half, he scored a powerful shot to break the net. In addition, he even assisted Timo Werner in a decisive goal just before the end of the game, spearheading Tottenham’s landslide 4-0 victory.

He also scored a goal in the match against Luton Town. Son scored a valuable come-from-behind goal in the 41st minute of the second half when his team was tying 1-1. As a result, Tottenham came from behind to win 2-1, giving a green light to its fight for fourth place.

With this goal, Son beat club legend Cliff Jones 159 goals to become the fifth-highest scorer in Tottenham’s history. At the same time, he trailed Elling Holan 18 goals, Manchester City, the top scorer in the PL, by three goals, heating up the competition to become the top scorer. Thanks to Son’s performance, Tottenham won three games and lost one game in March.

“Son’s five offensive points were tied for the most in the last month,” PL said. “He scored the best goal in the home game against Palace and scored the finishing goal late in the game against Luton. He also scored one goal and two assists in the game against Villa, his fourth-place rival, to complete his 4-0 victory,” he said in explaining the reason for selecting Son as a candidate.

If Son Heung-min is named Player of the Month in March, he will be the fifth player in his career. He made history by winning the Player of the Month award in September 2016, and was also named Player of the Month in April 2017. Since then, he has not had a relationship with the award for more than three years, but in October 2020, he won the award for the first time in a long time.

Son has won the award again this season. Since transforming into a central striker in September last year, Son has garnered six goals in four matches to win the Player of the Month award. He has won four awards in total, on par with prominent legends such as Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Dennis Bergkamp and Paul Scholes.

If Son is selected as the Player of the Month once again, he will be tied with Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, and Salah for five times in total. In addition, he could be named the active player of the PL who has won the most player of the month awards alongside Salah. Currently, only Salah is playing in the PL as Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane seven times, Cristiano Ronaldo, Steven Gerrard six times, Van Persie, Rooney, and Salah.

Son is aiming at another milestone. Isaac and Palmer are being mentioned as strong contenders. Son has four goals and four assists in December last year, but is still lagging behind Dominic Solanke, who scored six goals.

Isaac has led Newcastle by scoring four goals and one assist in four games. In particular, he scored two goals and one assist in the last match against West Ham, leading the team to a 4-3 come-from-behind victory.

Palmer is also one of the leading contenders. He had one assist at the match against Brentford, one goal and one assist at the match against Newcastle, and multiple goals scored by himself against Burnley. He can be highly appreciated in that he played one game less than Isaac and Son Heung-min, but scored five offensive points. 토토사이트

In addition to them, Munis, the protagonist of the multi-goal match against Tottenham, and Semeno, who led Bournemouth’s unbeaten streak 3 wins and 1 draw, each have something to say. Midfielder Mac Allister and defender White one goal and two assists also played well, but due to the nature of their position, they are at a disadvantage in terms of attack points.
