Son Heung-min is in wonderful form for Tottenham Hotspur.
Quoted by ESPN, Jan Vertonghen says that the only difference between Tottenham Hotspur team-mate Son Heung-min now compared to last term is his confidence.
Son was Tottenham’s hero again on Saturday as he netted a brace in the 2-1 win at Middlesbrough to ensure Spurs stay unbeaten in the Premier League, from six games.
They were his third and fourth league goals of the season after another excellent double in a 4-0 victory at Stoke City earlier in the month.
The South Korean appears to be a stronger player than he was last season, having netted four league goals in 28 games following a £22 million switch from Bayer Leverkusen.
But interestingly, Vertonghen has suggested that there is not any major difference in his talent, suggesting that the 24-year-old is merely confident enough to now show English football what he is capable of.
“Nothing much has changed [from last season] but then he scored that double at Stoke and that gave him so much confidence,” Vertonghen told reporters, via ESPN.
Whatever the reasons behind his form, whether it’s a new-found confidence, a delayed adjustment to the Premier League or a fusion of both, Tottenham fans won’t care.
The fact is that he is now delivering goals for the Lilywhites and nothing else really matters at the moment.
