Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has been named the Premier League Striker of the Season in the annual Sports Mole Readers' Awards.

The 29-year-old made history by becoming the first Asian player to win the Premier League Golden Boot, finishing level with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah on 23 goals for the campaign.

A brace on the final day ensured that he shared with award with Salah, while he also helped himself to nine assists in his 35 appearances.
