Most valuable Asian XI

# Left Winger - Son Heung-min (South Korea) - €80 million

Son Heung-Min

Son Heung-min is unsurprisingly the best Asian player in the game at the moment.

The 28-year-old South Korean is one of the most valuable players in the game, thanks to his coming of age under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho this season.

Forging a devastating partnership with Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane, Son Heung-min is on course for his best season in club football. He has already scored 16 goals in all competitions for his club and looks good for more.

Interestingly, Son Heung-min is more valuable than a certain Lionel Messi (€70 million) at the moment.

After honing his skills at Barcelona's famous La Masia academy, Takefusa Kubo joined Real Madrid in 2019.

# Centre Forward - Sardar Azmoun (Iran) - €23 million

Sardar Azmoun

One of the most exciting talents to have emerged from Iran in recent years, Sardar Azmoun has turned out for three different clubs during a decade-long stint in the Russian Premier League.

Currently plying his trade with Zenit St. Petersburg, the 26-year-old forward is nicknamed 'the Iranian Messi' despite no apparent similarity in playing styles between the two players.
