Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min is a great example for the players at the north London club.

That is according to his team-mate Yves Bissouma.

Speaking about Son Heung-min in an interview with Sky Sports, Bissouma said: “We have Sonny — he’s the best example for us. By his attitude and the way he is, you know you have to follow his way.

“If you’re following Sonny you know it’s a good way.”

This season, Son will definitely be someone who Tottenham players will look to. The 31-year-old was recently appointed Spurs captain following Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich.

Son Heung-min is now Tottenham’s most important player

With Kane gone, there is no doubt that Son is now Tottenham’s most important asset.

Last term, he was not at his best. During the 2022/23 Premier League season, the South Korea international scored 10 goals in 36 appearances.

Overall, though, he is still one of the most dangerous forwards in the division, netting 23 times in the 2021/22 Premier League campaign and 17 times in the one prior to that.

For whatever reason, his form dipped in the previous season. But it is the definition of a fresh start now with a new manager in Ange Postecoglou coming in.

The former Celtic boss now needs to do what is ever necessary to get Son firing again and if he does that, Spurs should be able to challenge for a spot in the top four.

It is clear that the Tottenham players look up to him and they will surely end up loving the South Korea captain even more if he can guide the club back into the Champions League.

After Kane’s exit, Son is now their best hope, so they really need the ex-Bayer Leverkusen star back to his best again.
