Tottenham Hotspur legend Son Heung-min was voted one of the best strikers in his 30s.
On the 3rd, the global soccer media "Prem ftbl" introduced three front-line players in their teens, 20s, and 30s through social networking services (SNS).
The media gathered three players who are considered world-class strikers from different age groups to form a three-top. Later, the media asked soccer fans to select the three players who are most likely to be destructive.
At the time, Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min played as a three-top striker in his 30s, drawing attention. Son formed a three-top with his former partner Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Premier League top scorer Mohamed Salah (Liverpool).
All three players are proven strikers who have played for a long time in the Premier League. Currently playing for Germany's Bundesliga, Kane played for Tottenham Hotspur until last season and scored 213 goals in the Premier League alone. He also scored 47 goals in the league with Son, which is the highest number of goals scored in the league.
After leaving the Premier League, Kane continued his scoring streak in the German Bundesliga as well. Kane, who is currently wearing a Munich uniform, has scored 31 goals in the league alone, and is highly likely to become the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season. He also scored six goals in the UEFA Champions League, tying for the top scorer in the Champions League.
Kane took the center position of the three-top in his 30s, and Son Heung-min and Salah were placed on the left and right. This season, Son Heung-min is competing with the Premier League's top scorer by scoring 15 goals and eight assists.
Salah, the Egyptian soccer star who shared the Premier League's top scorer with Son in the 2021-22 season, is also one of the best strikers in the world, scoring 22 goals and 13 assists in all tournaments this season. He has also scored 16 goals and nine assists in the league, fiercely competing with Son for the title.
While Kane, Son Heung-min, and Salah represented strikers in their 30s, the three-top in their 20s consisted of Bukayo Saka (Arthur), Erling Holan (Manchester City), and Kylian Mbappe (PSG).
Holan and Mbappe are world-class soccer stars who are expected to win the Ballon d'Or in the future. Holan and Mbappe already proved themselves as the world's best soccer players, ranking second and third, respectively, at last year's Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Holan, who scored 36 goals in the league last season alone, has not shown the same destructive power as he did a year ago, but he is still leading the Premier League with 18 goals in the league. Mbappe, who plays for PSG with Lee Kang-in, scored 24 goals this season and is likely to be the top scorer in the league 1.
Saka, who was selected as a three-top striker in his 20s along with Holan and Mbappe, was produced by Arsenal's youth system. English winger Saka has been at the core of Arsenal's attack, scoring 16 goals and 13 assists in 38 matches this season.
Finally, the three top 10 strikers were Lamin Yamal (Barcelona), Endrick (SE Paumeiras), and Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United).
Born in 2007, Yamal is only 17, but he has garnered six goals and seven assists in 40 matches for Barcelona, a world-renowned big club. Argentine winger Garnacho, who is still 19, is considered a future for Manchester United as he has scored nine goals and four assists in 40 matches this season.
Endrick, who was born in 2006, is the next promising player in Brazil who is nicknamed the "second Pele" and is expected to move to Real Madrid, a prestigious La Liga club in Spain, this summer. Recently, he was selected as a member of the Brazilian national soccer team and even scored his A-match debut goal.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min is considered one of the best strikers in his 30s, so you can feel anew what kind of status he has in football.
Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in 2015, continued to grow steadily every year, scoring 23 goals in the league in the 2021-22 season, becoming the first Asian soccer player to win the Premier League's top scorer, becoming a certified World Class striker.
Last season, there were concerns that the league scored only 10 goals due to injury, but as if denying this, Son Heung-min is playing as one of the best strikers in the Premier League, scoring 23 offensive points this season.
With his consistent performance, Son has become a Tottenham legend in name and reality. In recent years, he has played in 400 games and scored his 160th goal, ranking 14th in the club's history and fifth in the number of goals scored.
Son Heung-min, who has been active in Tottenham and the Premier League for a long time, has become a world-class soccer player in the world. Expectations are high on how many more records Son Heung-min will set in the future, who is showing his unwavering performance despite entering his 30s. 스포츠토토
