Simon Jordan thinks Tottenham forward Heung-Min Son is good enough to play for a team like Real Madrid, as he told talkSPORT.
The former Crystal Palace owner added ‘god knows’ how this current Real Madrid side won the Champions League this season.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the final in Paris, beating Chelsea, Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp’s team along the way.
Come next season, Spurs might just lock horns with the La Liga champions because they will be competing with the best of the best.
Nonetheless, this was Jordan’s response when asked if Son is good enough for Madrid.
“Do I think Son is good enough for a team like Real Madrid,” asked Jordan.
“Well, why does that have to be a question. Why does Son going to Real Madrid have to be a question from an English fan looking at the aspiration of players? He’s in a Tottenham side!
“A Tottenham side that is in build mode. That’s getting better. It has one of the elite managers.
“So, yes I think Son could play for Real Madrid. Not necessarily the Real Madrid we can see at this time, which isn’t the most fluid or engaging on the eye, with all due respect god knows how they won this Champions League.”
SON NOT NOMINATED FOR PFA AWARD
It’s pretty staggering that Son hasn’t been nominated for the PFA’s Premier League Player of the Year award, as posted by Sky Sports.
The £22 million South Korean star (Guardian) ended the season with the Golden Boot award, scoring 23 goals and firing Spurs into fourth.
Yet somehow, Harry Kane was nominated ahead of his teammate, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, both of whom scored fewer goals than Son.
The issue here is the impact Son had on Antonio Conte’s side and how he produced the goods when it mattered most, yet he still wasn’t recognised.
