Tottenham Hotspur’s South Korean striker Son Heung-min leads the way on a vote for the next cover star of the Fifa video game series.
The next edition, Fifa 20, will be released later this year and gaming community website FifPlay has asked its users which player they want to see on the cover of the annual series.
Son leads the Fifa 18 and Fifa 19 cover star Cristiano Ronaldo by 1,500 votes on Sunday, although both players are level on 17 per cent of the overall vote.

Barcelona and Argentina maestro Leo Messi, who was on the cover for four editions from Fifa 13, is in third position, with 16 per cent of the total vote.
The results so far have called on fans and media to lobby game publishers EA Sports to include Son on the cover.

Son has been in fine form this season, most recently scoring twice away at Manchester City in the Uefa Champions League semi-final second leg. Spurs went through to face Ajax in the semi-finals.
