[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] British local media pointed out that Son Heung-min's (28, Tottenham) market value in the English Premier League is undervalued compared to his skills.

The British football magazine 'Football365' reported on the 20th (Korean time), "Son Heung-min will turn 28 this summer, but no statistics suggest that he is slowing down," adding, "He is versatile but probably undervalued because of his nationality."

The media compared Son Heung-min's market value with that of his teammate Harry Kane.

Currently, Tottenham has set Harry Kane's transfer fee at 200 million pounds (approximately 301 billion KRW).

The media stated, "Son Heung-min's value is around 70 to 80 million pounds (approximately 10.55 billion to 12.05 billion KRW), which is less than half of Harry Kane's," and criticized the undervaluation by saying, "If he wore a Brazil jersey, he would definitely be a superstar, and if he wore an England jersey, he would have exceeded 100 million pounds (approximately 15.07 billion KRW)."

This means that Son Heung-min, who is worth 100 million pounds, is losing out on 30 million pounds (approximately 4.5 billion KRW).

They also added, "While Kane is gradually weakening, Son Heung-min is getting stronger," and "If Kane is a goal scorer, Son Heung-min is more than that. Son Heung-min is above Kane."

Furthermore, they claimed, "Compared to Kane, who is frequently injured, Son Heung-min is sturdy and does not fall short of Kane in scoring ability."
