On February 2 (KST), soccer statistician TransferMarkt ranked the best 11 players over the age of 30 playing in Europe's top five leagues. Son made the list as a left-back in a 4-3-3 formation.

He is valued by TransferMarkt at €50 million (approximately $70.3 billion). He is fourth in the list of best 11 players, behind Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool).

At the moment, Son is having a 'spectacular' start to the season. He's already scored eight league goals, which puts him second in the league behind only Elling Holland (nine). He is well on his way to repeating as top scorer for the first time in two years.

Tottenham are also on a roll thanks to Son Heung-min. They are unbeaten in their first 10 league games (8 wins, 2 draws, and 26 points) and top the English Premier League (EPL). 'North London rivals' Arsenal (second) and heavy favorites and European champions Manchester City (third) are also 'below' Spurs.

The best 11 is a colorful bunch. At the forefront is Son's former Tottenham teammate Kane. Since joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham this season, Kane has scored 12 goals in nine Bundesliga games and is one of the most prolific strikers in the world. TransferMarkt values Kane at a whopping €110 million ($154.6 billion). The highest among the 11 players. 안전토토사이트 

The right flanker is Salah, who was the joint top scorer in the 2021-2022 English Premier League (EPL) season with Son Heung-min. Salah was valued at €65 million (approximately $92.1 billion). Salah has scored eight goals in 10 league games this season, tied for second in the league with Son Heung-min.

At the top of the midfield is De Bruyne, the best attacking midfielder in the EPL. The central midfield is occupied by Ansu Pati (Arsenal) and Casemiro (Manchester United). De Bruyne was valued at €70 million ($99.1 million).

The backline was formed by David Alaba (Real Madrid), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Raphael Varane (Manchester United), and Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Napoli). Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) was the goalkeeper.

Heung-min Son was also recently named to the EPL's October Best 11 by Futurescore.com. Heung-min scored three goals and provided one assist in October. He scored the opening goal in a 2-1 win over Liverpool in Round 8, and added a goal and an assist in Round 9 against RH Fulham. He followed that up with a goal against Crystal Palace in the 10th round. Son will now look to score in three consecutive games against Chelsea on July 7.
