Son Heung-min has been a consistent performer for Tottenham Hotspur in recent seasons.
Gary Neville has praised Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min as a ‘fantastic’ player and stated he is ‘pefect’ for his teammate Harry Kane.
After missing the first few Premier League games because of suspension, Son returned to action during Spurs’ first defeat of the season and then that North London derby at the weekend.
As always, Son was a constant problem for opposition defenders upon his return, but he is yet to get off the mark for the season, as he will be hoping to do so after the international break.
Speaking to Sky Sports PL (01/09/2019 at 5:15 pm), Neville spoke very highly about Tottenham’s versatile attacker as he explained what he does so well.
“He’s a player, Son,” Neville told Sky Sports PL. “He makes a massive difference. When he’s on form with Harry Kane. He [Kane] needs players around him that can run past him, who can create that space for him and he’s perfect for him.
“Happy to play second fiddle. Make the movements out wide. Run through. Unselfish. A really fantastic player.”
Son is an important part of Spurs’ attacking line, and it could even be argued that he has arguably been their best performer in recent seasons.
Whilst Harry Kane will get that accolade because of his non-stop goalscoring when he is fit and firing, a player like Son has also delivered during that time and even stepped up when the England captain has been on the sidelines with an injury.
Tottenham host Crystal Palace upon their return from the international break. It is a fixture that’ll spark fond memories for someone like Son because he was the first Spurs player to score at their new stadium against Palace towards the back end of last season.
