Ian Wright has raved about Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min, as quoted in Metro.
The Arsenal legend has said that he is surprised that Son is not linked with Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Wright believes that the Tottenham ace is good enough to play for Barcelona or Madrid, and has added that the South Korea international – who can operate as a forward or as winger – is a complete footballer.
Metro quotes Wright as saying about Son: “I’m very surprised that he doesn’t get a lot more notice from bigger teams like the Barcelonas and Real Madrids, I think he can play for those teams.
“When you look at him: pace, goalscoring. He’s got everything. He can do everything, left foot, right foot. He’s definitely got that hunger to score.
“He gets himself opportunities to score and he’s one of those that when he goes through I always fancy him to score.”
Stats
According to WhoScored, Son has scored nine goals and provided seven assists in 21 Premier League games for Tottenham so far this season.
The South Korea international has also scored five goals and provided one assist in six Champions League games for Spurs this campaign, according to WhoScored.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the 27-year-old scored 12 goals and provided six assists in the league, and scored four goals and provided one assist in the Champions League, according to WhoScored.
Important player for Tottenham Hotspur
With Tottenham aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season, Son will be a very important player for head coach Jose Mourinho.
While Harry Kane is fit and available, Son is another important source for goals, and the former Bayer Leverkusen star also creates chances for his teammates and links up well with them.
