Beijing time on October 21, Beijing time, Son Heung-min has performed very well recently, and even ranked first in the Premier League scorer list. Now, Tottenham is about to renew his contract with Son Heung-min, with an annual salary from 8 million euros to 11 million euros. In other words, Son Heung-min's annual salary will be the same as 31-year-old national football forward Elkeson, and Wu Lei only has a fraction of his. Of course, Son Heung-min's annual salary after renewing his contract is still not as good as Goulart, who is 13 million euros.
Son Heung-min is 28 years old, at his peak. At Tottenham, Son Heung-min has made significant progress and is highly valued by Mourinho. This season, Son Heung-min is in a hot state, scoring 7 goals and sending 2 assists in the first five rounds of the league. Currently, Son Heung-min is the first striker in the Premier League scorer list. Son Heung-min's annual salary is 8 million euros. Now, Tottenham is preparing to raise his salary. After the salary increase, Son Heung-min's annual salary will reach 11 million euros, which is the treatment of a world-class star. As an Asian player, this is amazing.
Of course, Son Heung-min's annual salary is not the number one in Asia. Among the Chinese players, some of them are higher than him, and that is Goulart. Goulart's annual salary was revealed to be 13 million euros. Unfortunately, Goulart was unable to make a debut for the Chinese national football team before 2023. Son Heung-min's annual salary tied with Elkeson, who also had an annual salary of about 11 million euros.
Son Heung-min vs. Wu Lei, the annual salary gap is obvious, because Wu Lei is "at a loss" in playing football at Espanyol. If you were in the Chinese Super League, Wu Lei’s annual salary would be higher. But for Espanyol, Wu Lei's annual salary is only 1 million euros, only a fraction of that of Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min should still be proud of himself compared to Elkeson and Goulart. Because Elkeson and Goulart earn high salaries by naturalized status, if Elkeson and Goulart go to Europe to play football, it would probably be an annual salary of 2 million euros.
Son Heung-min's level is the well-deserved number one in Asia. In addition, Son Heung-min still has room for improvement. He is only 28 years old. If he continues to perform well, when other European giants extend an olive branch to him, his annual salary will increase. In an interview, Son Heung-min said he believes Mourinho will lead the team to the championship. This season, both Tottenham and Son Heung-min's performances are exciting. Especially Son Heung-min, he will compete for the Premier League Golden Boot.
