‘14 goals, 8 assists’ Son Heung-min is currently ranked 18th in PL? Top 5 based on Big 6
Son Heung-min is currently ranked 18th in the Premier League (PL) rankings. It was the loyalty ranking.
"Transfermarkt," a soccer statistics media outlet, released the rankings of PL players who have played the longest in a team on the 25th (Korea Standard Time).
First place went to Seamus Coleman, who played for Everton for 13 years and nine months. Son Heung-min ranked 18th. He has been playing for Tottenham Hotspur for eight years and six months. The only player who has played longer than Son at Tottenham is Ben Davis.
Son's ranking was 18th in the PL, but when narrowed down to the Big Six (Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham), he was listed in the top five. In terms of the Big Six, Luke Shaw was ranked first in the list. He has been wearing the Manchester United uniform for nine years and eight months. Next came Davis (Tottenham, nine years and seven months), Joe Gomes (Liverpool, eight years and eight months), Son Heung-min (Tottenham, eight years and six months), and Kevin De Bruyne (eight years and six months).
Son Heung-min started his PL career in Tottenham Hotspur at the invitation of Mauricio Pochettino in the 2015-16 season. Early on in his PL transfer, he went through ups and downs. There were some downsides in the early stages of the PL. He was criticized for his ball touch, aggression, and movement. He considered returning to the Bundesliga again, but he didn't give up. Son has grown by making up for his shortcomings.
As the season progressed, they established themselves as Tottenham's main scorer. In particular, Son Heung-min and Kane have grown into the best duo in the PL. Son Heung-min and Kane scored 47 goals together. They are the first in the history of the PL. The scoring rate is also fantastic, with Son Heung-min scoring 24 goals and Kane scoring 23 goals. Tottenham launched a fast attack around Son and Kane.
The highlight was the 2021-22 season. Kane and Tottenham performed poorly, but Son showed off his strong scoring ability. Son scored 23 goals and tied for the top scorer in the PL along with Mohamed Salah. He set the record as the first Asian player to be the top scorer in the top five leagues. Son Heung-min rose to global status. At that time, he scored 23 goals without scoring a penalty kick.
However, he suffered from a sports hernia last season. The explosive force was not as strong as before. Son Heung-min also started from the bench early in the season. Moreover, he played with a mask because he suffered a serious injury called an orbital fracture in the UCL. As the 2022 World Cup in Qatar approached, physical fatigue accumulated. Still, he scored 10 goals and six assists in the league.
The surgery was successfully completed this summer. Son vowed to take a new leap forward through the pre-season. During the pre-season, Son expressed his determination, saying, "I want to show that Sony, as we all know, is still there this season."
Son Heung-min became Tottenham's captain ahead of the season. Existing captains Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier were classified as out-of-power under Angel Postecoglou, and Son Heung-min naturally took the captain's armband as Kane left for Bayern Munich.

Ivory Coast also countered. Amani had a perfect one-on-one chance in the 21st minute of the second half. However, he didn't hit a shot, but gave it to Bamba who was next to him, and Bamba fielded a left-footed shot, but the goalkeeper was blocked.

Another failure to enter the ML roster, Park Hyo-jun's demotion to Triple A is a 'shock'
After staging an exhibition demonstration over whether to join the Major League's opening roster, Park ended up starting his season in the Minor League. It cannot be more cruel.
On the 27th (Korea Standard Time), Oakland Athletics reporter Jessica Kleinschmidt reported that Park Hyo-joon was not on the opening roster, saying, "I heard that Park Hyo-joon will start in Triple-A."
It's shocking news. Park Hyo-joon, who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates after he first entered the big league from the New York Yankees in 2021, shortened his big league career after the 2022 season. Afterwards, he played for the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, but he didn't hear about the long-awaited "call-up" and signed a minor league contract with Oakland in November last year, seeking to advance to the big league once again.
Park, who joined the spring camp roster as an "invitation" player, literally ran wild in the exhibition game. Park reported his first hit in an exhibition game against the Colorado Rockies on April 25, creating a "snow stamp." That was just the beginning. Park continued his momentum by posting three hits, one home run, four RBIs and a .500 batting average and 1.738 OPS in five games in February. Notably, when the game against the Los Angeles Angels ended on February 24, his 21 hits tied for first overall in the Major League.
In the game against the San Francisco Giants on the 26th, Park Hyo-joon fell from the top spot with the most hits, but in 22 exhibition games this year, he had 21 hits, one home run, nine RBIs, five runs, two steals, a batting average of 0.488, and an OPS of 1.163. In response, local media in the U.S. predicted that Park Hyo-joon is highly likely to enter the big league roster. Park also expressed strong confidence in starting the season in the Major League.
"Park Hyo-joon, who has played for many teams in recent years, signed a contract with Oakland in November last year and has been the best hitter in the spring camp," MLB.COM reported on Monday. Coach Mark Katz said Miguel Anduzar has been placed on the injured list. "We have announced that the season will begin, which means that we have a spot on the 26-man roster," he said, highly predicting Park's chances of entering the opening roster. "Park Hyo-joon is having an amazing camp. He has left a good impression on players who have had limited time in the big leagues," he said in complimenting Park
In an interview with MLB.com , Park said, "As it is my fourth team, I am used to meeting new players. Now I have been thinking about playing in Oakland for a few years. I had the best spring training period of my life, and I am in good physical and mental health. I am ready," without hiding my strong confidence and aspiration to join the opening roster. However, shocking news came out on Tuesday that Park was eventually eliminated from the opening roster.
