Although Son Heung-min has scored in just five games this season after scoring against Brighton and Hove Albion, he won the Golden Boot last year.
Son Heung-min, a standout for Tottenham, admitted to feeling more "pressure and attention" than usual after sharing the Premier League Golden Boot the previous year.
Son tied Mohamed Salah for the most goals in the Premier League with 23 for Spurs during the 2021–22 season.
Son believes such an investment brought with it a level of scrutiny he had never experienced before. That was his best Premier League goals total for a single season, six more than the 17 he managed the year before.
Son has only scored seven Premier League goals in 28 appearances while claiming to appreciate the pressure that comes with his increased fame.
The 30-year-old still has eight games remaining to play this season, and while he scored in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion, it's possible that this will be the first season since scoring just four goals in his debut season for Spurs that he does not reach double digits in goals.
Whatever the outcome of 2022–23, Son believes he can return stronger the following term.
In response to a question from a reporter, Son said, "Look, if I want to make excuses for the way I've played, I can find enough of them, but I'm not the kind of guy who goes around making excuses and claiming, "That was not the real me."
I acknowledge that I was not at the top level and that it happened, you move on.
The Golden Boot was a magical moment that gave me incredible confidence. Last season was fantastic.
"Everyone expected me to have another incredible run going into the new season because they were saying that Sonny had the Golden Boot, but sometimes it's not that easy because you get more attention and pressure, which I love.
