South Korea's national strikers were in the spotlight.
The Telegraph said, "As the year comes to a close, we will evaluate the top players across various sports. After women's soccer on Monday, it's men's soccer today. To be included in the BEST 30, players must be playing for an English club and their form so far this season is the basis for the list."
Mohamed Salah came in at number one, followed by Elling Holland at number two, and Son Heung-min at number three. The Telegraph says: "After a long injury-plagued campaign last season, Son Heung-min has started a new era at Tottenham. Named captain, Heung-min was ruthless in front of goal and set an intense tone under manager Enze Postecoglou. He will be sorely missed by Tottenham as he departs for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup."
He will be the last of Spurs' famous 'desk line' to leave the club. The first player to leave North London was Christian Eriksen. Eriksen, who joined from Ajax for €14.15 million (approx. KRW 20.2 billion) in 2013, was the mainstay of Tottenham's attack for nine years. He was a sharp-tipped player who was responsible for linking up and scoring goals as well as being a coordinator.
The next player to leave was Dele Alli. After signing for €6.63 million from MK Dons, he was briefly on a world-class trajectory. However, it was all downhill from there, and he was released by Burton after a series of wingless falls. Recently, it was revealed that he had suffered a number of difficulties as a child, including sexual abuse.
Finally, his soul mate Harry Kane left. The Tottenham and England international was a living legend, but he finally said goodbye to a trophy-less career. Munich, desperate for a world-class striker after the departure of Robert Lewandowski, approached him, and a deal was struck for a total of €120 million.
As captain, Son rescued Tottenham from the brink. Since the start of the season, he has scored three goals against Burnley in round 4 (5-2 win), two against Arsenal in round 6 (2-2 draw), one against Liverpool in round 7 (2-1 win), one against Fulham in round 9 (2-0 win), and one against Crystal Palace in round 10 (2-1 win), Manchester City in Round 14 (1 goal, 1 assist, 3-3 draw), and Newcastle United in Round 16 (1 goal, 2 assists, 4-1 win), and already has 14 offensive points (10 goals, 4 assists).
With his goal against Newcastle, he completed the following milestones: 23rd on the PL's all-time goals list (113) and 8th consecutive season with double-digit goals (14→12→12→12→11→17→23→10→10→10+a). Son Heung-min is becoming a PL icon after Tottenham Living Legend.Son Heung-min is on the verge of signing a new contract. "Tottenham are preparing to offer Son a new contract, according to sources, and he is eager to commit to the club," Football Insider reported earlier. Heung-min has been impressed by the influence of manager Enze Postecoglou and wants to play an important role in his long-term future. Tottenham are ready to talk to Son about a new contract. Spurs are expected to trigger a one-year extension option on a deal that runs until 2025, but talks could begin on an entirely new long-term deal."Heung-min earns £190,000 a week and has guaranteed maximum wages," the source said.
"Heung-min wants to commit the rest of his career to Tottenham and the club is ready to offer him a new contract with a huge pay rise. He has been impressed by the progress the club has made under Postecoglou and is keen to extend his contract. He is determined to play a key role for Tottenham now and in the future. Tottenham fans will welcome the news of his re-signing."
'Spurs Web' concluded, "Heung-min has shown few signs of declining form. Given his general fitness level, he can play at the highest level until at least his mid-30s. Therefore, Tottenham should reverse their policy of not offering long-term contracts to older players and tie him down to a long-term deal," emphasizing the need for long-term companionship.
Following the world-classes was Hwang Hee-chan at No. 19. The Telegraph wrote: "Hwang has been far from a prolific scorer since joining the club, but he has flourished under Gary O'Neill this season. He deserves a new contract," said The Telegraph.
Hwang has shown great determination since the start of the season. In the 16th round of the Premier League (PL), he has scored eight goals: against Brighton in round 2, Crystal Palace in round 4, Liverpool in round 5, Manchester City in round 7, Aston Villa in round 8, Newcastle United in round 10, Fulham in round 13, and Burnley in round 15. He also recorded assists against Bournemouth in Round 9 and Sheffield United in Round 11. During this time, Hwang also set the records for "5 consecutive offensive points" and "6 consecutive goals in the Molineux Stadium League". 안전토토사이트

According to the UK's Birmingham Mail, when asked about Hwang, O'Neill said, "Of course I'm hopeful. Nothing has really been updated. The club is obviously in talks with 'Channy' (Hwang's nickname) and I'm a big fan of 'Channy' so I hope it goes well." O'Neill responded. "He's been amazing since I've been here. He's done everything I've asked of him and scored well. He always has a smile on his face and is very determined and determined. He is an important player for the club. I hope we can secure him for longer than his current contract," he said, expressing his desire to re-sign him.
Transfer market pundit Fabrizio Romano, known for his signature phrase 'Here we go', announced earlier this month that "Wolverhampton have agreed a new contract with Hwang Hee-chan. The new contract runs until June 2028 with an option to extend. The deal will put Hwang on the same level as Wolverhampton's highest paid player."
It's an extraordinary deal. Hwang and Wolverhampton will remain together until June 2029, with an option to extend. He will also become the club's highest paid player. According to the American statistical publication Sportrack, Wolverhampton's highest paid player is Pablo Sarabia, who earns £4.68 million a year on a weekly wage of £90,000 (about $148.4 million).
"Wolverhampton forward Hwang Hee-chan has agreed a contract extension with the club until 2028," the British 'The Athletic' reported. Last month, the media reported that Wolverhampton and Hwang were in talks over a new contract, and O'Neill himself confirmed it."
O'Neill said: "I'm delighted for Hwang because he has given everything to me, the staff and his teammates and worked very hard since I arrived. He has scored some very important goals. He's a great guy and I'm glad he's going to be around for a long time. Yesterday he came to visit me and the staff and thanked us for working together to sign a new contract. This shows what kind of person he is and how important he is to the group." After battling injuries both big and small, Hwang has returned to full fitness and is now in goal for Wolverhampton.
