'Son National' Son Heung-min (33, LA FC) left the English Premier League (EPL), but his footprint is not easily erased.

Son Heung-min's name can be easily found on the record paper of the statistics company 「Squaka" to illuminate living legends such as Mohamed Salah (33, Liverpool) and Kevin De Bruyne (34, Napoli).

On the 9th (local time), 'Squoka' counted 10 players who have scored the most offensive points (goals, help) in the EPL since Salah joined Liverpool in the 2017-2018 season.

Salah, who scored 272 offensive points in 291 games, led the way overwhelmingly, and second place was former Tottenham captain Son Heung-min. Son has 173 offensive points in 271 games.

Son's former partner Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) ranked third with 169 (204 games). Former Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne (currently Napoli, 150) came in fourth and Raheem Sterling (Chelsea, 135) came in fifth.

In other words, there is only one player in the EPL who has boasted better productivity than Son Heung-min in the past eight years.

Although Son Heung-min was pointed out to be inferior to his heyday in the last two to three years, records prove that he was still a `top ranker' among EPL strikers.

'Squoka' unveiled the top 10 EPL attack points after the 2022-2023 season on the 10th. Son Heung-min was also listed on the list. He ranked seventh with 59 in 101 games. Salah (108), Elling Holan (104), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, 77), Bukayo Saka (Arnall, 67), Alexander Isaac (Riverpool, 63), and Brian Mbormo (Manchester United, 60).

Son Heung-min has scored more offensive points in the past three years than 「Chelsea ace" Cole Palmer (57) and"Man U captain" Bruno Fernandes (53).

Son Heung-min also ranked second after Salah (135 goals) with 96 goals in the open-play scoring category since the 2017-2018 season. This is a record that gives a glimpse of Son Heung-min's high goal purity, who does not rely on scoring penalties.

At the same time, he ranked fourth with 64 assists in the EPL assist record TOP 10. In the help category, The Bruyne ranks first with 91, Salah ranks second with 87, and Trent Alexander Arnold (Real Madrid) ranks third with 64.

During the same period, Son Heung-min recorded more help than Liverpool fullback Andy Robertson (56), Fernandez (51), Tottenham teammate'James Maddison (48) and Manchester City attacking midfielder Bernardu Silva (46).

The fact that Son Heung-min is included in the top ranks in scoring, helping and attacking points explains how versatile he is and how much he contributed to Tottenham's attack. Son Heung-min played 333 games in the EPL for 10 years before moving to LA FC in August, scoring 127 goals and 71 assists. He ranked 95th in total number of appearances, 49th in total time (24113 minutes), 16th in scoring, 17th in assists, 13th in shooting (533), and 5th in hitting the goalpost (31).

In other words, Tottenham had a homework to fill the void of a player who scored 173 offensive points in eight years.
