(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Bo-in = Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham), who was quiet at the beginning of the season, is going to ‘restore honor’ with the goal of the season beast.

Heung-Min Son’s team, Tottenham Hotspur, will play an away match once morest West Ham United in the 2022-2023 English Premier League (EPL) Round 5 at the London Stadium on September 1st at 3:45 am (Korean time).

Tottenham Hotspur entered the top spot early with 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches since the season started. It is currently ranked 3rd.

They have 10 points, the same as second-placed Manchester City, but are down 6-8 on the difference.

Tottenham Hotspur, who recently beat Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest 1-0 and 2-0 respectively, on a winning streak, are trying to continue their undefeated streak once morest West Ham.

West Ham, who will face each other in this round, are in 16th place (3 points) with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa in the previous game following losing three consecutive losses following opening.

In order for Tottenham to maintain their early momentum, it is necessary to revive Son Heung-min, who was the top scorer in the Premier League last season.

While Harry Kane leads Tottenham’s attack with four goals, Son Heung-min, who is in charge of ‘one-two punch’ with him, has been silent for the fourth time in the league.

Son Heung-min did not accumulate attack points following recording one assist in the first round with Southampton.

It’s a style that is very strong once morest ‘pushing’, but as the top scorer’s first goal is delayed, concerns are growing. In particular, the opposing teams are struggling to make use of the scoring opportunity while focusing on Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, who started the previous game once morest Nottingham, tried two shots in 74 minutes, but the finish was disappointing.

Also, according to Sky Sports UK, he recorded 26 ball touches that day, the lowest among the 22 players from both teams, including the goalkeeper.

In the end, coach Antonio Conte replaced Son Heung-min and replaced Hischarlisson.

Son Heung-min expressed dissatisfaction with the substitution order, but Hischarlisson, who entered as a substitute, assisted Kane with a goal, and contributed to the team’s 2-0 victory.

Heung-Min Son’s sluggishness is comparatively more prominent as Kane, Dejan Kulusevsky, and his newly recruited Hisharlisson also play an active part.

However, coach Conte is showing unchanging trust toward Son Heung-min.

He said, “Heung-min Son is sensible, the best, and a really nice person. If I were to find a husband for my daughter, I would choose someone like him.” also said

Heung-Min Son’s homework is to break the silence and repay the trust as soon as possible.

Son Heung-min has scored 7 goals and provided 7 assists in 15 meetings with West Ham. He also has a good memory of leading Tottenham’s 3-1 victory by scoring a multi-goal in the regular league 30-round match last season.

Hwang Hee-chan (26), who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers, is also eager to score.

Wolverhampton will face promoted team Bournemouth at 3:30 on the 1st of next month at the Bournemouth Vitality Stadium.

Hwang Hee-chan also has no attack points following recording one assist in the first round.

He is mentioned as a candidate for signing for Leeds United and Everton, but he did not get many opportunities as he was replaced in the second half in the last two league matches.
