FIFA World Cup 2018: Players to watch out for in Group F

Germany v Argentina: 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Final
Germany v Argentina: 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Final

#4 Korea Republic - Son Heung-Min

South Korea v Iran - World Cup Qualifier
Heung-Min will be doing his best to live up to the legacy of Park Ji-Sung

Son Heung-min is possibly the best Asian player playing the beautiful game at the moment.

The Spurs winger is having a good season and is starting regularly in a side and forming a fearsome attacking trio with Harry Kane and Dele Alli at Tottenham Hotspur.

Son Heung-min is considered to be Park Ji-Sung's natural heir and he has comfortably outscored Ji-Sung for the national squad, but is yet to have the same kind of impact for Korea Republic at major tournaments.

Son Heung-min is very good winger with pace to boot and goal scoring ability, but he needs to consistently deliver at the world's biggest stage to be comparable to Ji-Sung. Korea Republic will hope that Son Heung-min's relentless play and efficiency in front of goal will help them progress beyond a group containing Sweden, Mexico and Germany.

Notable Mention : Ki Sung-yueng
