Korean media OSEN disclosed that Sun Junho, the midfield soul of Shandong Taishan, is becoming a popular prey in the English Premier League. According to sources, the Premier League teams have shown unprecedented enthusiasm for Son, especially Southampton.
"Southampton's manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has a penchant for South Korean players, and this is not limited to Southampton, as other clubs have also shown a keen interest in Son Joon Ho." The source elaborated further.
Looking back at the 2021 season, Sun Junhao's outstanding performance in Shandong helped the team win the league title and the FA Cup, and his influence even surpassed that of Shanghai Harbour's Oscar. Sun Junhao's position as the center of Shandong's midfield has been unshakeable, which has attracted strong interest from Premier League teams.
It is worth mentioning that South Korean striker Hwang Hee-chan, who joined Wolves from Bundesliga's Leipzig this season, has also performed well. Hasenhuttl had shown great interest in Hwang Hee-chan as well as other South Korean players, so it is only logical that the Southampton team favors Son Jun-ho.
