On April 14 (Korea time), the British publication 'Give Me Sports' released a ranking of the 10 best Asian players in the PL.
There were four South Korean players on the list. First up is Ki Sung-yueng at No. 8. Ki made his PL debut in the 2012-13 season when he joined Swansea City from Celtic in the summer transfer window. He went on to play for Swansea, Sunderland, and Newcastle United, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists in 187 PL games. He also helped Swansea win the Football League Cup.
However, it's a bit surprising that Ki Sung-yueng is ranked lower than Shinji Kagawa (#7), who was a complete failure at Manchester United. Kagawa may have been the best player at Dortmund, but for United fans, he's one of those signings they'd rather forget.
In sixth place is Lee Cheong-Yong. Lee went straight from FC Seoul to Bolton Wanderers to challenge for the PL. As soon as he arrived at Bolton, Lee took off like a player with wings. He was recognized when he was named Bolton's Player of the Year for the 2009-10 season. 카지노사이트가이드
He continued to fly in his second season, attracting interest from some of the biggest names in the PL, but before the 2011-12 season, he suffered a major injury, fracturing his tibia. He never regained his form after that. Still, he played 105 games in the PL before moving to Crystal Palace.
In the race between Park Ji-sung and Son Heung-min, Park won. As for Son, who came in second, "He has become a fan favorite since arriving at Tottenham. His relationship with Harry Kane has been a joy to watch. He is the only Asian player to join the PL 100-goal club."
Park Ji-sung overtook Son Heung-min for the top spot. "Park Ji-Sung is the best Asian player in PL history. He may not have been a flashy player at Manchester United, but he was an important player. Alex Ferguson, the greatest soccer manager of all time, praised Park Ji-Sung every chance he got," explaining why they ranked him so highly.
Not surprisingly, Park Ji-Sung was rated higher than Son Heung-Min because of his winning record. Park collected 13 trophies in his seven seasons at United, including four PL titles, three Football League Cups, a UEFA Champions League title, and a FIFA Club World Cup.
