Graham Potter has said that Heung-Min Son is a ‘fantastic’ player and Tottenham have ‘missed’ him during his injury, as he told his pre-match press conference.
The Brighton boss also lauded the job Antonio Conte is doing at Spurs and claimed that you can see how ‘organised’ the north London club are now.
Brighton will lock horns with Spurs on Saturday evening and the winner will progress into the last-16 of the FA Cup.
In the previous round, Tottenham made life difficult for themselves as they needed some of their big guns to knockout League One Morecambe.
Ahead of that encounter, Potter had some kind words to say about the attack his players will face and his opposite number.
“Both of those (new signings and Son’s return) make it more difficult for us, of course,” said Potter.
“Son is a fantastic player. I think they have missed him during the past few weeks.
“I think Antonio Conte has done a wonderful job. You can really see the work. The quality. You can really see what he brings, so they have world-class front players.
“They are organised now in a really good way. It’s a tough game. Of course, we know that. But, it’s the FA Cup and it’s an exciting game as well.”
Another season and another opportunity for Spurs to put a trophy in their cabinet.
They were outclassed by Chelsea last month, who eased past them to reach the League Cup final.
And they will be hoping for an easier ride against another Premier League outfit.
Brighton may not blow teams away, but one thing is for sure, they will make life difficult for Conte and his players.
