Gary Neville told Sky Sports, during their live coverage of Tottenham’s win in the North London derby, that Heung-Min Son gets into ‘any team in the world’.
The popular TV pundit labelled the versatile Spurs attacker as ‘world-class’ after he opened the scoring in a quite specular fashion against Arsenal last night.
In what has become a trademark Spurs goal under Jose Mourinho, the ball was picked up by Harry Kane in the middle of the park, he fed Son on the left channel and his curling effort from outside of the box nestled into the back of the net.
During Neville’s commentary stint for Sky, he was impressed with what he was seeming from the highly-rated Son.
“We have seen it too many times now,” said Neville. “Spurs fans love him and the goal.
“He’s world-class. There are some players who that would go into any team in the world and I think he is one of them. He is a brilliant, brilliant player.”
It has been five years since Spurs spent £22 million on Son’s talents [Mirror] and it’s fair to say that it has been money well spent by the North London club.
Year in and year out, the technically-gifted attacker has become better and better. It could be argued that he has perhaps been one of the best signings the Premier League has seen in recent years.
But, Arsenal fans will now be sick of the sight of Son because, for the second derby showdown in a row, he has punished Mikel Arteta’s side.
