Heung-min of the first Asian player has the Premier League to win Player of the Month

Heung-Min was named player of the Premier League in September, the first Asian player to win the award. It is quite a turnaround for a player who wanted to leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer and is still in the club because Mauricio Pochettino wanted to let go.

It is with the Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015 for £ 22 million, the most expensive purchase signed club year by far. But while Tottenham into third place jumped in the league, and son struggled with extreme excess I wanted out. Pochettino argued that he could succeed at White Hart Lane, although, as previously assumed, when he signed it. They are already showing.

After missing the start of the season to play for South Korea at the Olympic Games, the son made his season debut on September 10 and scored quickly to go by two goals. He scored twice against Middlesbrough and even added a goal in the Champions League. All this happened in the first three weeks on the ground for the Spurs. Son air seemed perfectly happy in England with Spurs. He step and the dates of his desire to leave open behind.

Premier League Player Son subsidy per month was all he deserved for his game, but also a breakthrough for the players from their continent.

There has been a lot of Asian players in the Premier League. actively exploring in Japan and South Korea was especially the Premier League a little too late, while the Bundesliga has spent most ten years. Shinji Kagawa, Atsuto Ochida and Makoto Hasebe are between the devices in the Bundesliga and the best Asian player in the Premier League, son and Shinji Okazaki, bought Bundesliga.

Part of it is the rules on work permits, the more difficult it make players get to allowed to play in England, but there is also a general reluctance to sign players of the places that have not been proven to multiply good players.
