The Tottenham Hotspur ace has been in excellent form this season.

Tottenham ace Davinson Sanchez offered high words of praise for his teammate Heung-Min Son, when speaking exclusively to the club’s official website, highlighting how happy he is to have the South Korean back from international duty.

Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015, for around £18 million, and he has gone on to firmly establish himself as a fan favourite in north London, racking up an impressive 61 goals and 35 assists in 170 appearances in all competitions.

With Harry Kane and Dele Alli currently out injured and unavailable for selection, Son’s return could not have come at a better time for Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino.

The 26-year-old has a lot of pressure on his shoulders to step up during the absence of Spurs’ two most important players, and Sanchez told the club’s official website how important the forward is to the Tottenham team:

“He’s so important. We knew that when he left to go to the Asian Cup but, of course, we are so happy that he is back.”

Kane and Dele are not expected back until early March, so Son will have to keep up his fine form over the next few weeks, if Tottenham are to remain heavily involved in the Premier League title race and the Champions League.
