'Son Heung-min's real status is the top 8 players in the EPL'

Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy devalues Son Heung-min (33) under the pretext of `aging curve.' Thomas Frank, his puppet, is also trying to use Son Heung-min, the captain of the previous season, who has played legendary at Tottenham over the past decade, as a backup, not a main player.

But there is something they overlook. It's a real value for Son Heung-min. Chairman Levi and head coach Frank do not admit it, but British media and fans still rate Son Heung-min as the best player in the English Premier League. Son Heung-min was selected as eighth among the 11 best players in the 2025 EPL.




British media GiveMissport announced on the 21st (Korea time) '11 EPL Best Players in 2025'. This is based on the results of the fan evaluation vote of the US online ranking site 'Ranker'. This is the result of the vote conducted by fans based on the player's actual skills and performance. According to the evaluation, Son was ranked eighth among 11 best players.

According to the evaluation results, Liverpool's top striker Mohamed Salah is back in action. Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) and Elling Holan (Manchester City) came in second and third.

Son was proudly ranked eighth. It is right behind Rodri (Manchester City), who will win the Ballon d'Or in the 2023-2024 season, and below Son Heung-min, Declan Rice (Arnall), Phil Foden (Manchester City) and Bernardu Silva (Manchester City). Son Heung-min is the only Tottenham player to be included in this ranking. It is a great honor.

GiveMissport commented on Son's selection 'There may be some questions about Son's inclusion on the list. However, the fans have already expressed their opinions, and South Korea's Son Heung-min is included in the list. 'If it were five years ago, Son would have deserved to finish in the top 10 without hesitation. Perhaps it has risen to a higher rank than it is now,' he noted.

Now, however, at the age of 33, when Tottenham had a season just above the relegation zone, some players would feel unfair (about Son Heung-min finishing eighth) like Cole Palmer, Bruno Fernandes, and Alexander IsaacSon Heung-min is from Asia and was named one of the best performers in the U.K. Whether Son Heung-min agrees or disagrees with whether he deserves to be in the top 10 at this moment, it is only natural to pay tribute to the Tottenham captain.

As such, Son Heung-min is still regarded as a player with a high level of skills externally. Nevertheless, Tottenham still does not recognize Son Heung-min's value.




Chairman Levi used Son Heung-min as a means of earning transfer fees early on. We will definitely sell it this summer when we can earn transfer fees and use the funds to push for the team's power reorganization. Saudi Arabia, Fenerbahce, and LAFC expressed specific interest. Chairman Levi seems to be planning to sell Son Heung-min at the highest possible price after watching this reaction.

Coach Frank is also still doubtful about Son Heung-min. He did not give a clear answer to Son Heung-min's future at an official press conference a day before his first pre-season game against Reading on the 19th.

Asked about Son's future, he said, `Son Heung-min is doing well in team training. I can play against ReadingThe decision of a player who has played for a club for a long time is a matter for the club to make. I don't worry too much because Son Heung-min is currently there. I'll think about Son Heung-min's future in five to six weeks."

Regarding a second term as captain, "I haven't decided yet. There's a lot of work to be done, and we're taking care of it one by one, according to priorities"I shied away from an immediate answer. The new coach's spirit was nowhere to be found. He seemed to postpone his decision on Son Heung-min to the club. Critics criticized that he forgot to treat Son Heung-min.

After this remark, Son Heung-min wore the captain's armband in the second half of the Reading match on the 19th and played for 45 minutes. However, he has yet to show sharp movements as if he is not fully warmed up. Then, a vicious evaluation of Son Heung-min followed.

Football London gave Son a poor rating of five. In particular, the first-tier Tottenham reporter in Football London, Alesdare Gold, said, `Son Heung-min's body is rusty. He gave a harsh evaluation, saying, 'I had several touch mistakes that hindered the team's play, and I didn't seem to be in a good condition.'

Son Heung-min's future seems to be in mystery again due to this warm-up match. There were reports from TBR Football that head coach Frank was accepted by asking chairman Levi to stay with Son Heung-min, but it is not clear yet.

In the meantime, the result of the fan vote that Son Heung-min is still a top EPL ranker can put considerable burden on coach Frank and chairman Levi. Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min will be evaluated as a key player again at Tottenham and treated accordingly.
