Analysis: Spurs' new attacker Son Heung-min is Asia's finest player

Son Heung-min's coronation as Asia's best player is indicative of his massive potential. In a year in which his individual highs were also team lows, the South Korean striker scored his first goal in the World Cup, knocked in an important last-gasp equaliser in the Asian Cup final and a bagged a hat-trick against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga last term.
