The British media selected Son Heung-min's power ranking as 14th. Tottenham Hotspur also claimed that Son Heung-min's ability was needed to advance to the UCL.
British media outlet 'Goal Dotcom' unveiled its own Premier League (PL) power ranking for the 2023-24 season.
Son was ranked 14th. "He scored his 15th goal in March, demonstrating once again that he is unrivaled in his goal-closing skills. To regain his Champions League berth, he must continue his magic, and Tottenham must quickly overcome its 0-4 defeat against Newcastle," the media said.
Son has carried a lot of burdens this season. After Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich, he became the core of his team and assumed the captaincy. Having suffered from orbital fracture and groin injury last season, Son recalled that it was the most disappointing season he had for Tottenham. However, as a forward striker this season, he displayed robust performance as he scored many goals and worked hard to link up and make plays both as a left winger and move back and forth.

He spent nine seasons in the Premier League and has written various history. This season, he scored 15 goals and nine assists, achieving double-digit attack points for eight consecutive seasons. It was a record with only six players in the history of the PL, and Son Heung-min became the seventh player. With 160 goals for Tottenham, it ranked fifth in Tottenham's history and 23rd in PL history.
Tottenham entered the race for fourth place in the remaining season. During the first half of the season, Tottenham completely changed, with 10 undefeated matches. However, the tide turned in the middle of the season due to injury and disciplinary action against them, and the team fell to fifth place. Tottenham is currently in fifth place with 60 points.
They are competing with Aston Villa to rank fourth and fifth in the UEFA Champions League. Villa beat Arsenal in the 33rd round, beating Tottenham by three points and reclaiming the fourth place. Manchester United and Newcastle United are also closely following each other as they displayed their potential during the second half. The two teams have 50 points.
Meanwhile, Phil Foden was ranked first by the media. Ollie Watkins, Erling Holland, Declan Rice, and Mohamed Salah were listed at the top of the list. Son Heung-min has been on the decline in the ranking recently selected by the media.
