Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur, who became the top scorer of the England Premier League (EPL) 2021-2022 season, returned to Korea on the 24th through Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 and received the Golden Boot trophy from an official. Son Heung-min is the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the EPL since its inception in 1992. He is also the first Asian top scorer across the five major European leagues known as the EPL, Spain's La Liga, Germany's Bundesliga, France's Ligue 1, and Italy's Serie A. After taking a rest, Son Heung-min will be called up to the Bento squad on the 30th and will participate in four A-match games, including the match against Brazil on the 2nd of next month. /Reporter Moon Ho-nam munonam@
