Thread : An unbiased view on Christian Pulisic, Nicolas Pepe and Heung-min Son. 3 wingers who have been compared to each other throughout the season, here is a more detailed look at them (stats - first team and league only)
1. Christian Pulisic - He is the youngest of all 3 players (21) and has fairly quickly adapted to the league, bagging 15 G/A in his first season - a contribution every 110 mins.

Pulisic has made 114 senior team appearances with 46 goal contributions (147 mins/contribution).
(continued) The one thing that separates Pulisic from the other two wingers is his age. We are yet to see the best from this player and he should thrive alongside Timo Werner upfront. Will be very interesting to see how Pulisic develops under Lampard next season.
2. Nicolas Pepe - After having a breakthrough season with Lille, Pepe became Arsenal's record signing and has 11 contributions 30 games in 19/20 - a contribution every 176 mins.

Pepe however has a combined 137 career appearances with 66 contributions (142 mins/contribution).
(continued) Pepe is aged 25 and is younger than Son however older than Pulisic. He is in his absolute prime right now and needs to replicate his season at Lille for Arsenal.
3. Heung-min Son - Most experienced of the 3, the 28 year old South Korean has proven himself as a clinical winger in the league, bagging 86 G/A in 159 games for Spurs. Among himself, Pepe and Pulisic, his minutes/contribution this season is the lowest (109 mins - 22 G/A)
(continued) Son has already established himself in the league, reason why many Spurs fans rate him over Pepe and Pulisic. However, we need to look at the fact that he is 28 and both Pepe and Pulisic have more years left than Son.
For me, at this point Son > Pulisic > Pepe purely because of Son's experience in the league. However if yesterday's performance vs Liverpool was a barometer of Pulisic's talent, I can see him being one of the best wingers in the league for years to come.
As for Pepe, he might not have had a season as good as Pulisic and Pepe, we are still yet to see his best and the next season will be the best judge of who the best winger in London is.
