The Tottenham Hotspur ace has been in exceptional form this season.
Tottenham ace Jan Vertonghen raved about his teammate Heung-Min Son, when speaking to reporters yesterday, labelling the ‘special’ South Korean as one of the best players in the Premier League, as quoted by the Independent.
The 26-year-old forward has been in excellent form for Spurs this season, chalking up 16 goals and nine assists in 32 appearances in all competitions thus far.
Son is a real fan favourite at Tottenham, and he has proven to be a quite incredible bargain for the north London outfit, after they paid Bayer Leverkusen just £18 million for his services in the summer of 2015.
And Vertnghen is clearly a big fan of the South Korea international.
The Belgian spoke to reporters, and highlighted his teammate’s ability to play in a variety of positions as evidence of his superb quality, as quoted by the Independent:
“I have played with some great players and against some great players, and Sonny is special. He is so humble and I think you underestimate that because of the work he puts in. Then his quality – outstanding left foot, right foot. He can play striker, left wing, right wing, he can play as a 10, he played as a wing back. He’s an outstanding player. He’s one of the best in the Premier League.”
Tottenham have a real chance of winning both the Premier League and the Champions League this season, but if they are to do just that, Son will need to be on his very best form between now and May.
The 26-year-old has proven to be one of the best players in the league, if not Europe, this season, and Spurs fans will be hoping that he continues to produce, especially during the absence of Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
