Tottenham Hotspur‘s ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min of the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL) is attempting to score 10 goals and 10 assists for the third time in his career against Chelsea, his London-based rival.

Tottenham will play the 26th round match of the 2023-2024 EPL against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in London, England, at 3:30 a.m. (Korean time) on the 3rd.

This season, Son Heung-min has 16 goals and 9 assists in the league, and if he adds one assist, he will achieve 10 goals and 10 assists for the third time in his EPL career.

Following 11 goals and 10 assists in the 2019-2020 season and 17 goals and 10 assists in the 2020-2021 season, he is on the verge of reaching a milestone in three seasons.

To date, there are only five players who have scored 10 goals and 10 assists more than three times in the EPL: Wayne Rooney (5 times), Eric Cantona, Frank Lampard, Mohamed Salah (4 times), and Didier Drogba (3 times).

In order to build a monumental achievement, Chelsea, which has been particularly struggling, must be shaken up.

Son Heung-min, who scored only 2 goals in 18 games against Chelsea, has not recorded an attack point since the 2018-2019 season.

In the 11th round of the EPL, which was the previous match in November last year, he lost 1-4 after being sent off and suffering from injuries, and Son Heung-min also could not escape his silence.

Son Heung-min is armed with personal goals and team motivation.

Tottenham must rise to fourth place to advance to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) next season.

5th place Tottenham (60 points) is looking to turn things around with 4th place Aston Villa (67 points) having played two games less.

We need to get results against the powerhouses Liverpool (6th) and Manchester City (15th), as well as Chelsea.

There is interest in whether captain Son Heung-min can catch two birds with one stone: his personal record at the end of the season and the team’s UCL appearance.
