Keith Winnis, a former Everton chairman and football manager, valued Son Heung-min (Tottenham) at a whopping 100 million pounds (about 175 billion won). It's an excessive lip service. The amount is three times the market price recently. If you're serious, you can't help but suspect that you're really out of touch or don't know Son Heung-min well.

British media 'Football Insider' reported on the 29th (Korea time) that former Everton chairman Keith Winnis insisted Tottenham would sign a new two-year contract by raising Son Heung-min's wage.

According to Football Insider, Winnis served as Everton CEO from 2004 to 2009. He now runs a football consulting firm that offers advice to elite clubs.




Football Insider says Tottenham star Son Heung-min is still worth £100m' introduced his remarks.

Winnis said "It's difficult for Tottenham. Wages will increase, but they are unlikely to increase significantly. To value Son, I think he is still worth around 100 million pounds even if he has a pretty sluggish season."

Winnis said, `I hope Son Heung-min will take good care of his condition and come back to better understand what coach Engie Postecoglou wants. We hope Postecoglou will build the team better around Son Heung-min. Tottenham want scoring ability and Son Heung-min is the key. Tottenham are likely to want to tie Son up for another two years."




There is no basis whatsoever. It's Winnice's personal speculation. If you want to make a claim that is completely different from the public evaluation, you will be criticized even if you list a number of reasonable grounds, but there is no such thing. It's an irresponsible assessment.

The transfer website 'Transfermarkt' valued Son Heung-min at 45 million euros (about 38 million pounds, 66.6 billion won). Even when Son Heung-min hit the highest ransom in his career, it was 90 million euros (about 76 million pounds, 133 billion won).

When Tottenham sold Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer transfer market last year, the transfer fee was reported to be 100 million euros (about 85 million pounds, 150 billion won). Kane is the best striker of the time, capable of both No. 9 and No. 10. No matter how good Son Heung-min is in commercial value in Asia, it is difficult to agree that he is worth more than Kane.




Crucially, according to ESPN reports, the Saudi Arabian professional league RT Hard prepared 60 million euros (about 51 million pounds, 89 billion won) to recruit Son Heung-min in the summer of 2023. Saudi Arabia has been luring European star players with huge salaries since last year, paying 1.5 to 3 times the market price. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the place that gives the best treatment in the world.

Saudi Arabia's offer was £51 million, but Son Heung-min's claim to be worth around £100 million is curious about the basis. Too much lip service or packaging can rather disappoint fans who like Son Heung-min.
