A win in March would see him equalling the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, and Mohamed Salah for the third-most Player of the Month awards in Premier League history.

Among current Premier League players, only Salah has earned more Player of the Month awards than Son. However, former Tottenham teammate Harry Kane and ex-Manchester City star Sergio Aguero hold the record for the most monthly awards, each with seven to their name.
