Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan's ransom fell significantly.

Soccer statistics media outlet Transfer Markt updated the ransom of active players in the English Premier League (EPL) on the 18th (Korea time).

Unfortunately, it was not a very good update for the Korean players working in the EPL. First of all, Son Heung-min fell sharply from 38 million euros (about 60.3 billion won) to 30 million euros (about 47.6 billion won).

Even if you perform well, you can't prevent the price from falling. Son Heung-min's ransom has been falling little by little since reaching a personal high of 90 million euros (about 142.9 billion won) in December 2020.

Still, it is the second highest among players born in 1992 after Mohamed Salah. They are slower to age than world class players like Neymar, Casemiro, Koke, David Alaba and Sadio Mane.

Hwang Hee-chan, another Premier Leaguer representing Korea, also fell sharply. Hwang Hee-chan, whose ransom soared to 25 million euros (about 39.7 billion won) due to his great performance last season. This season, as he suffered from severe wealth, his ransom reached 17 million euros (about 27 billion won).

Hwang Hee-chan is also old enough to lose his ransom, but it's still a time to defend himself, so it's important what kind of performance he'll show over the next one or two years. First of all, we need to prepare an opportunity to rebound before the end of this season.

Naturally, the two players were also pushed out of the Asian player's ransom list. Son Heung-min, who was originally fourth, is now tied for fifth with Lee Kang-in and Hiroki Ito. Hwang Hee-chan is ranked 10th in Asia.

Meanwhile, there is an Asian player who made a big hit with this latest update. It is Uzbekistan's Supernova Abdukonir Husanov, who moved to Manchester City. Originally 12 million euros (about 19 billion won), Fusanov soared to 35 million euros (about 55.6 billion won) at once. It ranked fourth overall in Asia. Since Fusanov was born in 2004 and has tremendous potential to grow in the future, it is expected that he will soon be able to surpass the positions of Kim Min-jae and Kaoru Mitoma, who are currently No. 1.
