Heung-Min Son told Football Focus on BBC One that he is hoping Gareth Bale scores for Tottenham during their showdown with Arsenal later on today.
The versatile attacker, who scored for Tottenham when they beat Arsenal during the reverse fixture, stated that Bale was ‘born to play football’.
After months and months of struggle, Bale is starting to hit form at the right time and it’s not good news for one side of North London.
Ahead of today’s game, Son was full of praise for Bale and wanting to win at the Emirates.
“Everyone knows what Gaz can bring to the team,” said Son. “I am really happy that he is enjoying playing football because he’s born to play football.
“When you see his quality (puffs his cheek), it’s just incredible and I am really happy for him.
“We will see what’s going to happen but we want to go there and win this game. I hope Gareth scores and then we celebrate all together. I don’t mind who scores. I just want to win this kind of game.”
Well, Bale has a history of scoring against Arsenal at the Emirates and he will be hoping to repeat that feat of over ten years ago.
Back then Spurs came from 2-0 down to record a memorable derby victory and more of the same will win them those bragging rights and increase their chances of securing a top-four finish.
Given how both teams have defended this season, and how their strength lies in the attack, it will be a surprise if there aren’t many goals in this fixture that always seems to entertain.
