In the last round, Son Xingmin, the first brother in the Premier League, scored a brace and led the team to a 4-0 victory over Everton. With these two goals, Son Heung-min also surpassed Steven Gerrard and Lukaku in a row, ranking 21st in the Premier League's all-time scorer list with 122 goals, only one goal behind York and Sterling before him. Among active players, Son Heung-min ranks fifth in the number of goals. Second only to former team-mates Kane (213), Mohamed Salah (158), Frank Vardy (137) and Raheem Sterling (123). After Kane moved to Bayern, Son Heung-min became the captain of Tottenham. Since joining Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son has gradually become one of Europe's top goalscorers, winning the Premier League Golden Boot, but it just can't help Tottenham break the title drought.
In order to end the embarrassing record of not winning a championship in his career, British star Kane left Tottenham to switch to Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon. Although Kane still failed to win a title in his first season at Bayern, it was only a matter of time before he won his first title with Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga. And it is not easy for Son Heung-min to win the championship at Tottenham. Son Heung-min is likely to follow his old partner Kane and leave Tottenham if he wants to break the fate of not winning a championship in his career. According to Shin Eng Sports, Son Heung-min has rejected the club's latest offer to him to renew his contract, which means that Son will officially become a free agent next summer. At present, the giant Riyadh Victory from Saudi Arabia is actively chasing Son Xingmin, and in order to get the wealthy Riyadh Victory of the Asian brother, he is ready to provide Son Xingmin with a sky-high annual salary of 30 million euros.
In recent transfer windows, the Saudis have set off a wave of buying in the transfer market with their strong financial advantages. They have successively brought Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Benzema and other heavyweight superstars who have made a name for themselves in Europe's top five leagues to play in the Saudi league, enhancing the popularity and viewing of the Saudi league. However, the overall level of the Saudi league is still not comparable to that of Europe's top five leagues. Some stars who have gone to Saudi Arabia to rush for gold are also considering returning to the mainstream European leagues, and this summer the Saudis have offered sky-high contracts to superstars such as De Bruyne and Vinicius, but the sky-high annual salary of the Saudi league still cannot poach the main players of the European giants. The Saudi league has seen a significant drop in purchasing power and funding this summer. Since it could not buy Europe's top superstars, the Saudi league changed its strategy and began to set its sights on the Asian brother Son Xingmin and the Egypt pharaoh Salah, who has a very high status in the hearts of the Arabs.
It is worth mentioning that Son Heungmin's idol is none other than Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently playing for Riyadh Victory. Under the temptation of the high salary of Saudi tycoons, Son Xingmin is likely to bid farewell to Tottenham and join his idol Ronaldo to pan for gold in the Saudi league. Although Ronaldo is no longer in his prime, the Portugal has won the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga Golden Boot in his career, and was also the Saudi Arabian League Golden Boot last season. The Portugal is still on a hot streak and scoring efficiency. Being able to partner with his idol Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly a great honor for Son Xingmin.
And Son Heung-min is also looking forward to winning the first title of his career in the Saudi league with the help of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo and breaking the championship drought. Even if he can't get the title he wants, the high-salary contract of the Saudi league can allow Son Heung-min, who is over 30 years old, to live a rich and luxurious life after retiring.
