He has 1 20+ goal season and no trophies (im not saying goals is all you need but thats like the only thing he contributes contribution. and he and the only thing hes above average at is shooting (dribbling isnt great and lost a lot of pace). Like how are people comparing him to the likes of salah who has 4 20+ goals. And all the people that say oh if he was at (Better team than tottenham hed do better) even thouh its been proven multiple times if u play move to a better team youre not necessarily going to be better i could take charlie austin who scored 18 goals for qpr in 2014-15 and say oh if he played for chelsea hed get 30 goals which is obviously not true.and then people who say racism even though i think it positively impaced his career because hes the first of his kind to score those numbers so his achievments are a bit elevated .
Reminder this is an opinion dont get mad
OP I think you have an issue I see in the FIFA generation more and more and it undermines all the points you are trying to make. First of all, talking about Son being a Left winger or an inside forward- just call him a Left sided attacking player (apart from this season) whose role varies depending on tactical need. Next, when talking about attacking impact look at the wider picture and the impact the player has on those around him. Kane and Son hold the record for the most goal/assist combinations on the PL so he must have been doing something right. A good example to underline this point is Jack Grealish for Man City, his numbers on paper are poor but he has a clearly defined role in the team to draw defending players to him and allow his team mates to exploit the space this creates. Does he grab the headlines?- no. Does he contribute to build up play? Of course.
