5 players Tottenham cannot do without
There will be no St Totteringham Day for Arsenal fans to celebrate this season. For the second consecutive season, Mauricio Pochettino's side is going to finish above Arsenal in the table standings. This is thanks to an amazing team effort.
The Argentine's side has developed significantly over the last few seasons and the club is attracting more world-class players to join them to win the highly coveted Premier League trophy. Although they have missed out on trophies this season, there has been remarkable progress in terms of the club's attacking force. As seen in this season, the team rarely struggles to score goals, unlike rivals like Chelsea and Arsenal.
The club's lethal attack has seen them overcome strong opponents such as Juventus and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Standing 4th in the Premier League standings, the Lilywhites look set to secure another season of Champions League football as they are 5 points above 5th-placed Chelsea.
A few players ought to be credited for their extraordinary season this season.
#5 Son Heung-Min
Indisputably, Son has been one of Tottenham's most consistent player this season. In 7 Champions League appearances, the South Korean international netted 4 times. As of 5th May 2018, having made 35 Premier League appearances, Son scored 12 times and provided 5 assists.
The forward has stepped up whenever needed this season. When Harry Kane is unavailable, the team can rely on Son to do the job just as well as the Englishman. In addition, he has also created a total of 35 goalscoring chances for his team-mates this season, surpassing Kane's 31 chances.
His recent impressive performances have drawn praise from former team-mate Kyle Walker:
“Son has been on fire and he deserves everything he gets."
Son has begun featuring in a more central position this season and things seem to be going his way. He has established himself as a regular player in the Tottenham first-team squad, leaving fellow striker Fernando Lorente on the bench most of the time.
The Spurs man has explosive pace and is perfect for counter-attacks. He works extremely well with the rest of his team and this makes him a highly valued player for Tottenham.
