Son Heung-Min has been a revelation for Tottenham Hotspur this season and his exquisite performances in the Premier League this year have given the Spurs a legitimate shout in the title race. The South Korean winger has thrived in Jose Mourinho's counter-attacking system and has shown tremendous improvement over the past few months.

Jose Mourinho's Spurs side has exceeded expectations this season and the Portuguese manager has placed plenty of faith in his star winger. Son Heung-Min has already bagged 11 goals and four assists in the Premier League so far and is enjoying his best season in England.

The winger has established an excellent partnership with Harry Kane and has started all 15 games for the Spurs this season. Jose Mourinho will be intent on winning silverware in 2021 and will need Son Heung-Min at his lethal best.


#3 Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)

Leicester City have shrugged off their 'underdog' tag in emphatic fashion this year and have their prolific striker to thank for a discernible upturn in their Premier League fortunes. Jamie Vardy has led from the front at Leicester City and has built a reputation as one of the most reliable strikers in the Premier League.

The Leicester City striker is already a modern-day legend at the club and seems intent on pushing his team to a place in the UEFA Champions League this year. Vardy has scored 11 goals so far in the Premier League and is likely to double his tally by the end of the season.

Leicester City are currently in third place in the Premier League standings and are only four points away from the top of the table. The Foxes have already taken points away from both Manchester clubs this season and will hope that their star striker can do the unthinkable yet again this season.


#2 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Jose Mourinho has often been accused of neglecting the fortunes of his strikers but Harry Kane remains a discernible exception. The England captain has enjoyed a fantastic year in the final third and is well on his way to becoming a bonafide Spurs legend.

Harry Kane has added several dimensions to his game under Jose Mourinho and often serves as a pivot for his side in the final third. The striker has also developed an excellent final pass and already racked up nine assists in the Premier League this season.

Harry Kane has also scored nine goals in Tottenham Hotspur's impressive Premier League campaign and his budding partnership with Son Heung-Min is making Jose Mourinho's side an impressive force. The English striker is virtually unstoppable at his best and can propel his side to silverware next year.


#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah is the personification of the cutting edge and sheer energy that today's Liverpool side has introduced to the Premier League. The Egyptian superstar has already carved a legacy for himself at Anfield and played a key role in shattering Liverpool's Premier League title drought this year.

The former Chelsea striker has wreaked havoc in the Premier League and has used his pace to stretch and torment defences in the competition. Salah finished the 2019/20 season with 19 goals to his name and has already scored an astonishing 13 goals in 13 appearances this season.

Liverpool are currently at the top of the Premier League standings and have rediscovered their gold touch after a difficult start to the season. The irrepressible Mohamed Salah has been their shining light this year and will look to build on his success as we approach the business end of the season.
