Heung-min Son has been speaking to Tom Holland about his Tottenham teammates, ahead of the launch of Spider-Man No Way Home.

What’s the story?

Well, Holland – who’s a huge Spurs fan – asked Son to compare his Tottenham teammates to Marvel Avengers.

When Holland asked Son which Spurs player is most like Hawkeye – who can “hit the target from a great distance with pinpoint accuracy” – his answer was an interesting one.

The South Korea international said: “That must be Harry. When you see his finishing, in his training sessions, it’s sometimes like wow.”

We’re sure that Kane’s finishing drills are a sight to behold, as he’s one of the best strikers in Europe.

Holland attempted to argue that Son should be likened to Hawkeye.

However, the Tottenham No.7 got the ultimate accolade towards the end of the video, when Holland instead decided he’s most like Spiderman as a result of his speed and agility.

Heung-min Son can help Harry Kane at Tottenham

Last season, Kane and Son enjoyed a spectacular partnership in which they were both firing on all cylinders.

This season, Son has done well with six goals in 13 Premier League games, but Kane has scored just one Premier League goal.

It is, of course, down to the England international to sort that out, although Son clearly has a good on-field relationship with him and can surely help him.

For example, squaring a chance for Kane to tap in could be enough to give the 28-year-old his confidence back.

At Hotspur Way, the pair could also work closely together in an attempt to rediscover the chemistry of last season.

Ultimately, however, it will be down to Kane to salvage his season.
