On the 22nd, the British BBC announced the EPL Round 8 Best XI, selected by former Watford striker Troy Deeney based on a 4-3-3 formation, through its homepage, naming Son Heung-min as the best forward. Having shaken off his injury, Son Heung-min played brilliantly against West Ham. At the 7th minute of the second half, with the score tied 1-1, he provided the assist that sparked the go-ahead winning goal, and at the 10th minute, his sharp shot induced an own goal. Five minutes later, he scored himself, contributing to three of Tottenham’s four goals. After the match, fan voting results showed he was chosen as the Most Valuable Player with 51.9% support. Tottenham fans cheered, saying, "The King of London has returned."

After Son Heung-min was named the best forward, Tottenham’s official Instagram posted a series of photos showcasing his performance, pairing them with BLACKPINK Ros?’s new song "Apartment." The caption in Korean read, "Son-part Apartment Son-part Apartment," prompting reactions such as "Did a Korean join the Tottenham social network team?", "Tottenham has great sense," and "Tottenham’s media team does a great job." Ros?’s "Apartment," a collaboration with pop star Bruno Mars, gained explosive popularity, topping the world’s largest music streaming sites and surpassing 100 million views on its music video.

Meanwhile, despite his fiery goal-scoring return after 22 days, Son Heung-min was excluded from the squad list for the home match against AZ Alkmaar in the 2024?2025 Europa League League Phase Round 3, held on the 25th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou explained at an official press conference, "Son Heung-min reported some discomfort after last weekend’s (4-1 victory) match against West Ham United, so he will not participate in the Alkmaar game."
