Son Heung-min is also the best star produced by the German Bundesliga.
Eurofoot, a famous soccer content media, left the Bundesliga on the 5th (Korea time) and introduced the most successful transfer cases in the English Premier League (EPL). A total of nine players, including retired players and active players, were introduced, and Son Heung-min was proudly positioned in the middle.
Son Heung-min is considered the most successful recruitment case in Tottenham's history. In 2015, he joined Leverkusen for a transfer fee of 30 million euros (about 49.9 billion won), which was very low in terms of today's transfer market. Excluding the first season adaptation period, it has become the core of the team's offense, recording double-digit attack points every year for the next nine seasons. Based on his fast penetration, ability to finish both feet and wide range of activities, he has elevated the status of Asian players in the EPL to a new level.

In the 2021-2022 season, he became the first Asian player to win the EPL's top scorer, and took over Tottenham's one option after Harry Kane left in the 2023-2024 season. He also wrote Tottenham's first history while serving as captain. He left with the record of sixth place in Tottenham's history and fifth place in the most goals scored.
Son Heung-min's influence also played a big role outside the stadium. Based on its brand power in the Asian market, it played a decisive role in expanding Tottenham's commercial profits and also contributed significantly to the expansion of the club's fan base. After taking over the captain's armband, he played a central role not only in terms of performance but also in terms of leadership. His sincerity and loyalty shone more during Tottenham's escape from the military, and Son Heung-min's symbolism became the best ever at Tottenham.
Even Son Heung-min left the team with a transfer fee of about 22 million euros (about 36.6 billion won) at the end of the contract. Tottenham caught both rabbits of money and achievements through Son Heung-min.
Prior to Son Heung-min, Arsenal's goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was a successful Bundesliga recruit. German national legend Michael Ballack also left Bayern Munich and succeeded at Chelsea. The players who appeared afterwards were mainly during the Son Heung-min era.
Kevin De Bruyne, the best player in Manchester City's history, and Vincent Kompany, the Manchester City legend, are also players who have proven their potential in the Bundesliga. At the same time as Son Heung-min, he left Hoffenheim, Germany, and joined Liverpool.
Like Son Heung-min and The Bruyne, the most successful Bundesliga recruit will be Elling Holan. Holan is a player brought in through a large transfer fee, but he is performing well enough for the money. After the Son Heung-min era, Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate and Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe-Mateta are representative.
