Tottenham legend Clive Allen raved about the quality of Heung-Min Son, when speaking to reporters, suggesting that he has been the club’s most consistent player over the past two years, as quoted by Football.London.

The 26-year-old has been truly superb this season for Spurs, racking up an impressive 20 goals and 10 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions thus far.

Son has had an even more important role to play for Tottenham over the past few weeks, with Harry Kane out injured, and the South Korean seems to excel when the England international is unavailable for selection.

Allen, who scored a record 49 goals in one season when playing for Tottenham, offered high words of praise for the 26-year-old, suggesting that he has been absolutely outstanding this season, as quoted by Football.London:

“He doesn’t need a PFA nomination, he’s been absolutely outstanding. The last two years I think he has been Spurs’ most consistent player. Obviously Harry Kane’s scoring record is second to none but Son has been absolutely superb. He’s stepped up when Harry hasn’t been there, worked with him when he has been there.”

Son joined Tottenham for just £22 million back in the summer of 2015, according to BBC Sport, and he has proven to be an incredibly good signing for that money.

And he will have a key role to play for Spurs between now and the end of the season, as they chase a top four finish and success in the Champions League.
