#3 Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

After playing at Southampton for four years, the Danish international made the switch to Tottenham Hotspur in 2020 after openly discussing his desire to leave the Saints. His first season with Spurs saw the star play consistently, appearing in 53 games for the side and scoring two goals.

Now in his sophomore season at the club, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has already played 19 games and scored three goals, his best goalscoring season yet. Adept at both central midfield and defensive midfield, the star has contributed directly to two goals in his five most recent appearances.


#2 Lucas Moura

The 29-year-old Brazilian left PSG for Tottenham back in 2017 and it has been a rollercoaster ride for him in England. Lucas Moura has flourished with Tottenham at times, even hitting the 10-goal mark once in a Premier League season. While he has struggled with consistency more often than not, he has sparked with renewed vigor in recent months.

Since October, Lucas Moura has four goals and an assist in his most recent ten games in all competitions. Prior to his winner against Burnley in the EFL Cup towards the end of October, he struggled with a goal drought that lasted over ten matches.

If he can continue in his newfound form, Lucas Moura will certainly be key to Antonio Conte's drive to improve the side's league position.


#1 Son Heung-min

While Harry Kane has struggled to reach his form of previous seasons, Son Heung-min has carried the baton for Tottenham Hotspur. The 29-year-old joined Spurs for £22 million in 2015, and within a season, arguably became one of the Premier League's best attackers. Last season saw Son flourish brilliantly, scoring 22 goals alongside half as many assists in 51 games.

The South Korea international has continued in fine form this season, scoring eight goals and giving two assists in 15 Premier League games so far. Antonio Conte's presence at the helm of club affairs has also helped the 29-year-old improve in form. In his last five games, Son has scored three goals and assisted once.
