Latest Spurs news: Some Tottenham fans fume over Son’s omission from PFA Team of the Year
The PFA Team of the Year is out and unsurprisingly the team is dominated by Liverpool and Manchester City players.
The one major surprise in the side was seeing Paul Pogba in the team. The Frenchman hasn’t been all that great this season and compared to the others on the list, his inclusion is debatable.
Sadio Mane, Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling form the attack. Pogba, Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva are the midfielders while the defence features three Liverpool stars.
Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are joined by Aymeric Laporte. Ederson of Manchester City is the final name on the list.
Son shining bright for Tottenham
Son Heung-min has been one of the bright sparks in the Premier League this season.
The South Korean also participated in several international tournaments in this campaign but has 20 goals and seven assists in all competitions for Spurs.
The 26-year-old should have been included in the team ahead of Pogba given his stats, and many Tottenham fans were furious that the South Korean missed out on the nomination.
Tottenham haven’t had much to cheer in the league recently, however, they still have a chance of making the Champions League finals.
Son has been one of the stars for us in Europe and many fans questioned the selection of the PFA TOTY this season.
Pogba being in TOTY over Son and Hazard is absolutely criminal

To exclude Son from the #PFA shortlist was an insult.
But to leave him out of the #PFATOTY altogether? That’s a joke.#COYS

Son got overlooked but it’s good because that keeps eyes off our players. #COYS

No Son in PFA Team of the Year? And people will still say he’s not the most under appreciated or underrated player in the PL. OK THEN! #COYS

I know a lot of fans will think players at their club deserve to be in the PFA Team of the Year more than others.. but how has Son not got in team of the year?! 😂 #COYS #PFAawards #TOTY

No room for Son in PFA squad of the year. Yet Lazy ass Pogba gets in guess half the Prem is scared to say anything bad about him, just like his manager who is scared to drop him. #COYS #PFATEAMOFTHEYEAR #FA #Spurs
