He wasn’t on the pitch today at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Son Heung-Min still picked up a huge honor today after the 2-2 draw with Everton. The Korean fan favorite forward was named by the club as Tottenham’s Official Supporters Club 2018-19 Player of the Season in a ceremony after the match. Sonny was hugely important for Spurs this season, stepping up into the spotlight and helping take the club to a top four finish and a chance to win the Champions League. He finished second on the team with 20 goals in all competitions this season, four behind Harry Kane, but with Harry Kane hobbled by injuries this season, Sonny came in and became one of Totteham’s most consistent scoring threats. There are no doubt plenty of fans who would’ve chosen a player like Moussa Sissoko or even Toby Alderweireld for this award. Sissoko was a revelation for Tottenham this year, transforming himself from a player fans hated to one of the most important players at the club and one of the first names on the team sheet. Alderweireld, possibly playing in his final Tottenham match today, was immense at the heart of Spurs’ defensive line all year. His partnership with Jan Vertonghen was a huge reason why Spurs have done so well and progressed so far into the Champions League. But in Sonny, I think Spurs made the right choice. In a season where so many players struggled with injury and fatigue, Sonny played in two international tournaments this year (including winning a draft exemption in the Asian Games that would’ve cut his career short) and still put the team on his back at times. He has quietly become one of the best forwards in world football, and still seems to be under the radar. We’ll have our Carty Free awards a little later on, but this certainly feels right. Congratulations on an excellent season, Sonny!<doc-sep>Moussa Sissoko lost out to Son Heung-min for Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Player of the Year gong. Quite a few Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter believe that Moussa Sissoko should have won the Supporters’ Player of the Year. Spurs announced this evening that Son Heung-min was voted as the club’s stand-out performer during the 2018-19 campaign. The South Korea international has hit the 20-goal barrier and also scored some vital goals in Tottenham’s route to the Champions League final. On the other hand, it has undoubtedly been Sissoko’s best season since joining the North Londoners back in 2016. Gareth Bale Is BACK...FIVE Months Late The Frenchman’s guile and energy from midfield has been a breath of fresh air for the Lilywhites, and many of their fans believe that the former Newcastle man was ‘robbed’.

Unbelievable — mark coome (@THESnafu) May 12, 2019 It could have gone either way to be fair. For every argument in favour of Son winning it, there’s another for Sissoko. In truth, it doesn’t really matter. Both have been outstanding for Tottenham this season and Mauricio Pochettino will need both at their best in the Champions League final against Liverpool on June 1.

The South Korean, one of a few not to have been injured all season, has given his all for Spurs in a campaign which has seen him twice taken away on international duty outside of the breaks before immediately returning to Mauricio Pochettino’s side in their moments of need. Son has scored vital goals along the way too, while also filling in for Harry Kane during his spells out with ankle injury. The 26-year-old, who arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, scored vital Champions League goals against Manchester City, both in north London and Manchester, on his way to 20 goals this season. Son was unavailable to add to that tally on the final day of the season, against Everton, having had his dismissal against Bournemouth upheld, though one foolish red card should not taint a remarkable campaign. Having been one of the first players to be dropped when things went south at times last season, Son is now a key figure in this Tottenham squad and deserves every accolade.<doc-sep>
0 SHARES Share Tweet Tottenham played out a 2-2 draw against Everton in their final Premier League game of the season at the new stadium. After the game, the end of season awards were presented and the team went on a lap of honour around the stadium, thanking the fans for their support this season. As far as the player of the year award was concerned, it was only ever going to be between Son Heung-Min and Moussa Sissoko, and the South Korean has ended up picking up the award this time around. Son has been crucial for the side and has scored several important goals in the absence of star striker Harry Kane, over the course of the season. Despite being involved in both the Asia Cup and the Asian Games, the 26-year-old has shown tremendous energy levels this season and his performances have been one of the driving forces behind Tottenham’s sensation run in the Champions League. The post-match ceremony was streamed on the club’s official Twitter handle, and Son conveyed his delight at picking up the award. Spurs Web Opinion We believe the award was well deserved for Son. He has improved every season since moving to Tottenham from the Bundesliga in the summer of 2015. This is the season where he went from a very good player to one of Tottenham’s most important. If Tottenham hope to get the better of Liverpool in the Champions League final, then the South Korean needs to be at the top of his game.
