The transfer fee website 'Transfermarkt' updated the market value of English Premier League (EPL) players on the 18th (Korea time). It reflects the recent performance, age, and market popularity.
Son Heung-min, 33, was evaluated at 30 million euros (about 47 billion won), down 8 million euros (about 12 billion won) in three months from 38 million euros (about 60 billion won based on the current exchange rate) in December last year.
30 million euros is the lowest in eight years since June 2017 (30 million euros), when Tottenham joined the club. Son Heung-min, who has emerged as the league's best goalscorer, soared to 50 million euros (about 79 billion won) in 2018, 80 million euros (about 127 billion won) in 2019, and 90 million euros (about 142 billion won) in 2020.

Son Heung-min, who has been captain of Tottenham since 2023, is currently tied for 13th in Tottenham's ransom. It is tied with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur. Bentancourt also saw its ransom drop from 35 million euros to 30 million euros.
He is tied for second place in the Korean national team after Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), a monster defender with an estimated transfer fee of 50 million euros. Genius midfielder has the same ransom as Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).
It is the second world born in 1992 after Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, about 87 billion won). Son Heung-min and Salah are the only 33-year-olds with more than 30 million euros.
Son has scored 11 goals and 11 assists (seven league goals and nine assists) in 40 games, including the Cup this season. Tottenham is currently 14th in the 29th round of the league and is engulfed in an all-time slump.
The ransom of Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) of 'The Korean Guy' also fell from 22 million euros (about 35 billion won) to 17 million euros (about 27 billion won) due to continued injuries and sluggishness.
Winger Yang Hyun-joon (Celtic), who has recently performed well, is the only European player whose ransom has risen. It jumped from 2 million euros (about 3.1 billion won) to 2.5 million euros (about 3.9 billion won), and 500,000 euros (about 800 million won).
