Spurs fans have been discussing a stat, which suggests that Heung-Min Son is the most clinical football player in the world.
TranSPURS shared a stat from Infogol, which suggests that the South Korean winger has scored 36% more goals than expected since 2014/15. Since joining the North London club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, he has contributed an impressive 83 goals and 44 assists in 220 appearances.
So far this season, Son has been Spurs’ second-best performer in the Premier League; averaging a 7.28 rating for his performances and has contributed 16 goals in all competitions, despite having missed a significant period after suffering a fractured arm injury in February.
Is Son the best winger in the Premier League?
Yes
No

These Spurs fans seemed surprised by the stat but were quick to praise the 27-year-old for his clinical nature.
What do we think?
It is impressive that Son has managed to score 36% more goals than expected and he will no doubt prove to be an important player for Jose Mourinho if/when the Premier League does resume this season.
