James Justin has told UMM‘s YouTube channel that Tottenham’s Heung-Min Son is his toughest opponent ‘for sure’.
The Leicester City defender lauded what the Spurs speedster does off the ball, the runs he makes and the timing of his runs, as he labelled it as ‘crazy’.
Son does come across as an infectious character, whose hard work on the field rubs off on his teammates.
Well, it seems as though the versatile Spurs attacker makes the opposition’s life as difficult as possible, as Justin responded to Son being his toughest opponent.
“For sure,” said Justin. “This guy is like, you may not see it when watching him, but the runs he makes and the timing he makes the runs with is crazy.
“It’s so hard to defend against. That’s why he is one of the top players in the Premier League.
“I love playing against him, to be fair because it keeps me on my A-game and hopefully I put up a good performance against them.”
Unfortunately for Justin, he won’t be able to resume his battle with £22 million forward (Mirror) this season because he is set to miss the remainder of the campaign through injury.
The 23-year-old has been one of the top-performing defenders in the Premier League this season and has dealt with many high-quality wide players.
But when Tottenham meet Brendan Rodgers side in May, it seems as though Justin will have to watch Son potentially blitz through his team from the touchline.
