Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) was selected as the best-Eleven consisting of players with many offensive points by position in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season.
On the 25th (local time), Transfer Markt, a transfer fee website, introduced 'Attack Point Best Eleven', which placed Son Heung-min as a left-side striker.
The site was divided into striker, winger, central midfielder, full-back, center-back and goalkeeper, and selected 11 players with the most points by position.

He has accumulated more offensive points than any of the league's representative left wingers.
Liverpool duo Luis Díaz and Cody Hakpo each have 11, and Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon also has 11. Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) made 10 offensive points with seven goals and three assists.
The attack is spectacular. The striker who plays the opposite wing of Son Heung-min is Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). Salah had 25 goals and 16 assists, a total of 41 offensive points. It's No. 1 overall in the league.

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea, 8) and Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle, 8) formed a midfield duo.
Trent Alexander Arnold (Liverpool, 8), Mark Gehi (Crystal Palace, 5), Gabriel Magalyangis (Arnall, 4), and Antony Robinson (Fullam, 10) played four backs.
Ederson (Man City) was selected as the team's goalkeeper with three assists.
Son Heung-min and Salah, who were born in 1992, are the oldest in the lineup. It is a glimpse of how long the two players are staying at the top.

Various media and various soccer players expect Son Heung-min's time in his 10th year of Tottenham to end, but the British daily 『The Times" predicted in a preview article of the Tottenham-Man City match on the 25th that 『Tottenham will not rush to form a team without Son Heung-min』.
He strives to become a 'young Tottenham' through a generational change that actively mediates young resources such as Lucas Beribal, Jed Spence, Mikey Moore, and Archie Gray, but that does not necessarily mean Son Heung-min's early departure.

In response to criticism of his poor performance this season, he wrapped up his "excellent ability to beat his opponent in a narrow space and still has an excellent finishing ability" and positively evaluated that his contribution to the attack was still high, taking the first half of the Ipswich match as an example.
Son Heung-min aims to score his seventh goal of the season in the 27th round of the EPL against Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 4:30 a.m. on the 27th in Korea time. Tottenham, which is currently winning three consecutive games, is ranked 13th with 33 points. Manchester City are fifth with 44 points.
