Heung-min Son is South Korea's greatest ever player and enters what could be his final World Cup as captain and talisman. The Tottenham forward has been the face of Asian football for over a decade, combining devastating pace, clinical two-footed finishing, and an infectious work rate. At 33, Son remains South Korea's most important player, and his leadership will be crucial as the Taeguk Warriors aim to progress beyond the round of 16. His dramatic goal against Portugal in 2022, which sent South Korea through to the knockout stages, showcased his ability to deliver in clutch moments.
