London: Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-Min Son won the 2018/19 Premier League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards on Thursday.
Son, who has scored 16 goals so far this term, received his award from Spurs legend David Ginola.
“It means a lot,” smiled the Korea Republic international. “For me, it’s special, my first award (of this kind). Many players have not won this trophy so for me it’s really, really special, especially because such big names have won this award (in the past). It means a lot and I’m very happy to win.”
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was named Manager of the Year, praised Son's commitment and desire.
