Son Heung-min experienced a relatively slow start to the current Premier League campaign. He scored four goals across Tottenham Hotspur's first 11 matches of the season, which was good but not great.
By that stage, eight players had scored more goals than the Spurs forward, who wasn't exactly profiting from playing as part of an attacking outfit, unlike some of his peers at the pinnacle of the division.
Nuno Espirito Santo was struggling to post consistent results, and Son played as part of a counter-attacking unit in the large majority of matches, with Spurs placing less of an emphasis on possession-based football under the Portuguese coach. As Son sat on four goals, Mohamed Salah led the way on 11 in the Premier League.
