But the one player that propelled themselves into the stratosphere was Heung-min Son, who has quickly become not only a cult hero at Tottenham but in general one of the most beloved footballers currently playing in the modern game, and the South Korean international, alongside Harry Kane and Jan Vertonghen, has been shortlisted by UEFA for this year’s Team of the Year.

Son was influential in Tottenham’s run to the Champions League final, scoring against Borussia Dortmund in Spurs’ 3-0 win over the German side as well as scoring three goals against Manchester City over the quarter-final legs, sending the north London side to the semi-finals.

Son all the way!
