From English Premier League stars to hotshots closer to home, this year's Asian Cup will feature plenty of world-class talent. Here are five players likely to catch the eye at the tournament:

After a string of eye-catching performances in 2018, lightning-quick Son is looking to add Asian Cup honors to the Asian Games gold he won in Indonesia in September. At the World Cup, Son scored a left-footed stunner against Mexico and an injury-time clincher to send holder Germany out. He has been in scorching form for Tottenham Hotspur in England, scoring eight goals in his last nine league appearances. Among them was the Premier League's November goal of the month－a quicksilver piece of individual magic against Chelsea－a rocket at Leicester and doubles in the 6-2 rout of Everton and 5-0 Boxing Day thrashing of Bournemouth. He won't figure in South Korea's first two matches, under a deal done with Spurs, but class act Son can take the Asian Cup by the scruff of the neck once he touches down in the UAE.
