Son Heung-min, who was also listed as the "Best 11" by the BBC and EPL secretariat, is recognized as a representative EPL player in name and reality by decorating the main poster for Tottenham's 141st anniversary.

In the fourth week of the EPL power ranking released by the British Daily Mail on the 5th (Korea Standard Time), Son Heung-min topped the list, beating "scoring monster" Elin Holan (Manchester City) and teammate James Madison. The media evaluated, "Son Heung-min has not scored until three games since the opening of the season, but his hat trick against Burnley reminded him of his envious ability at an appropriate time." "Son Heung-min led the activated side pressure under coach Engie Postecoglou's system and showed sharp attacks when necessary," he stressed.

Son Heung-min scored consecutive goals in the 16th minute of the first half, 18th minute and 21st minute of the second half in an away game against Burnley on the 2nd, leading the team to a 5-2 victory with a hat trick. Since then, Son Heung-min has been praised by local media and is considered the best striker. For now, it was listed on the "Best 11" selected by the BBC and EPL secretariat, and was also selected as "MOM (Man Of the Match)" conducted by fan vote on the EPL official website. Football London, known as a conservative football media, drew attention by scoring 10 points.

In addition, Son Heung-min has become the captain of Tottenham's non-European player, drawing attention to his leadership. Tottenham fans are cheering for Tottenham's potential, which has recorded three wins and one draw since the opening of the league, saying, "We have finally become one team." This is why Son Heung-min's leadership to unite his teammates and communicate with his fans is applauded.

Following Son Heung-min, who ranked first in the power rankings, Evan Ferguson (Brighton) and Holan, who scored a hat trick on the same day, ranked second and third. Ferguson scored three goals side by side against Newcastle United and Holan against Fulham. It is the first time in 28 years that the three players scored a hat trick on the same day. In September 1995, Robbie Fowler, Alan Shearer, and Tony Yeboa exploded a hat trick on the same day.

In addition, Son Heung-min decorated the main poster produced by Tottenham to commemorate the 141st anniversary of its foundation. Tottenham released a poster on its official social networking service (SNS) and drew Son Heung-min's face in the middle. It can be interpreted as Tottenham's star and legend. Along with Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Hugo Lloris and Lucas Moura, Ledley King, Robbie Keane, Luca Modric, and Gareth Bale, who are considered Tottenham legends, were also engraved in the graphic. However, his presence is not great compared to Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, who moved from Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga to Tottenham in 2015, is in his ninth season this year. He became the top scorer (23 goals) in the 2021-22 season and is considered one of the players representing the EPL with double-digit goals for seven consecutive seasons. In particular, he scored 106 goals in EPL with a hat-trick against Burnley, surpassing the records of Cristiano Ronaldo (103) and Didier Drogba (104) of Chelsea (104) and Tottenham Darren Bent (106) tied for 30th in scoring.
