Heung-min Son salary: How much does Tottenham Hotspur star earn per week and annually in Premier League?

South-Korea international Heung-min Son has been a fan favorite in the Premier League ever since his arrival at Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.

Son formed a devastating attacking partnership with Harry Kane at Tottenham, regularly scoring and assisting. Since Kane's departure to Bayern Munich in 2023, Son has become the main man in attack for the London side, also inheriting the club captaincy from Hugo Lloris that same year.

Apart from being Tottenham's leader, he is also one of the club's top earners.

Exactly how much does the South Korean earn playing in London?

    Highest paid players in the world

    Although the wages of the top-earners in the Premier League are astronomically high, none of them make the cut when it comes to the highest-paid players across the world. The list gets completely dominated by Saudi Pro League players.

    At the top sits the never-aging Cristiano Ronaldo playing for Saudi Premier League side Al Nassr. At number two comes Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema, while Riyad Mahrez of Al Ahli makes an appearance at number three.

    Meanwhile, Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly round off the list and fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
