British media 'Give Me Sports' selected the '8 best players in the Premier League whose contracts expire in 2025' on the 7th (Korea time).
Give Me Sports ranked players based on their quality, age, importance within the team, goals and help or clean sheets.
Give Me Sports ranked Son Heung-min fourth.
Give Me Sports reported in July that Tottenham will extend Son's contract by one year. This means he will stay at the North London club until 2026. His current contract expires in 2025. Tottenham have yet to announce an extension. However, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said Son Heung-min is likely to be used for another season.
Give Me Sports said Son played more than 400 games for Tottenham. Was directly involved in over 200 goals during that time. Formed an elite partnership with Harry Kane. He took the lead in advancing to the 2019 Champions League final. He explained that he tries to secure his first trophy at the club.
Tottenham has been without a trophy for 16 years since winning the 2008 League Cup. Son Heung-min, who has played for Tottenham since 2015, has no experience in winning major tournaments in his career. At Tottenham, he ranked second in the Premier League, second in the Champions League, and second in the League Cup.
In third place is Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City. The first and second places were all Liverpool. Mohamed Salah is second and Trent Alexander Arnold is first. Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk is also ranked fifth.
Give Me Sports says 'Players entering the final year of their contracts are free to negotiate with other clubs in the winter transfer market. Liverpool will have three major players who will be released on free agency next summer. In the case of well-run clubs in general, there is no precedent for this situation,' he said.

Give Me Sports said 'Tottenham's offense often relied on Son Heung-min after Harry Kane left. Son Heung-min was undaunted by the weight of the captain's armband. He is an experienced left winger. Son Heung-min explained that he helped coach Enze Postecoglou adjust smoothly to English football.
Manchester City's central midfielder Rodri is in first place. Second place is Liverpool right winger Mohamed Salah. Third place is Manchester City left wing Philpoden, and fourth place is Manchester City striker Elling Holan. Arsenal right wing Bukayo Saka is in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min did not make the recently announced 30 candidates for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.
The Ballon d'Or is the world's most prestigious football individual award organized by French Football. At last year's Ballon d'Or, Son Heung-min was ranked 11th and Kim Min-jae was ranked 22nd.
Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) as well as Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Alnasr) were excluded from this year's Ballon d'Or. It is the first time since 2003 that both Messi and Ronaldo have been excluded from the Ballon d'Or candidate.
