Not Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi; Son Heung-min Picks Neymar as ‘Best Player in The World’
London: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are arguably the best footballers of the generation – if not all-time. Even their colleagues are their fans and it is hard to believe none of them featuring in someone’s ‘best in the world’ pick. And hence it was surprising to see Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min not picking one of them as his ‘best player in the world.’
Instead he picked Brazil captain Neymar as the ‘best player in the world.’
With 23 goals to his name this season, Son was in top form for Tottenham.Son has been one of the most consistent performers for Tottenham since joining the north London side from Bayer Leverkusen He has scored 205 goals (131 goals and 74 assists) from 325 games, although trophies continue to elude him.
Unfortunately, he is yet to win any silverware for the Spurs, with only a pair of runners-up medals in the 2019 Champions League final and the 2021 Carabao Cup final.
