Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has won the Asian Player of the Year award for the fourth time.

SEOUL, South Korea — Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min was named the Asian Football Confederation’s Asian Player of the Year for the fourth time at its annual awards ceremony on Tuesday.

Son, who captains Tottenham and South Korea, also won the prize in 2015, 2017 and 2019 and takes the trophy from compatriot Kim Min-jae of Bayern Munich.

The first winner of the women’s international award was Australian Ellie Carpenter, who plays for the French club Lyon.

The AFC has a separate trophy for players from overseas and has awarded top player of the year awards to Akram Afif of Qatar and Kiko Seike of Japan.

Afif led Qatar to the Asian Cup title in February and finished the tournament as top scorer with eight goals. He also won the AFC award in 2019.

“I will try my best to win this award for the third time,” he said.

Seike won the women’s trophy after helping the Urawa Red Diamonds women’s team win their second consecutive Japanese title, setting the record for most goals scored in a single season. In July, she signed with Brighton in England.

“I will continue to do my best for my club, the national team and add value to Asian football,” Seike said in a video message.
