Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min

South Korea·Forward·Age 33

One of the most exciting attackers in the world, this South Korean star has spent years dazzling fans at Tottenham Hotspur in England's top league, combining blistering speed with a knack for scoring genuinely beautiful goals. He's basically the reason South Korea has a realistic shot at making noise at the 2026 World Cup — the kind of player who can single-handedly flip a game on its head against anyone. At 33, he's heading into what's likely his last World Cup, which adds a real emotional storyline to follow. Watch for those moments when he gets the ball with space in front of him — that's when things get fun, because he can go from zero to dangerous faster than almost anyone on the pitch.
