The South Korean scored twice for Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Ian Wright has praised Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min for his two-goal heroics in Saturday’s 4-0 win at Stoke City.
The 24-year-old seems to have put a testing first season at Tottenham behind him after grabbing a couple of decent goals at the weekend.
Son, a £22 million signing from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, has now moved halfway to equalling his total of four in 28 Premier League appearances last term.
By virtue of the fact that Wright is Arsenal’s second highest goalscorer of all time, he knows a thing or two about finding the net.
And the 52-year-old was very impressed with the South Korean for the way in which he took his brace at the Bet 365 Stadium.
He told The Sun: “His two finishes were fantastic. The first one, he’s just sort of side-footed it and guided it past Shay Given. It was a beautiful finish and technically very, very nice. Composure.
“And then the second one, Shay Given looks like he’s a little bit off the line and I don’t want to take anything away from Son, because I would’ve taken both those goals.”
Son will count himself majorly unlucky if he is not in the first XI on Wednesday when Spurs clash with Monaco in the Champions League at Wembley.
