Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Joe Hart has praised Son Heung-min on the Premier League’s YouTube channel.

Hart has said that his Tottenham teammate and South Korea international forward Son is a real livewire when he is on form.

The Englishman said about Son on the Premier League’s YouTube channel: “Son is a real livewire when he is on it. He is a real threat in behind. He is constantly threatening.”

Son has been one of the best and most consistent players for Tottenham over the years.

The 28-year-old arrived at Spurs as a winger, but he has modified his game.

The South Korea international is now a ‘forward’ and has become an important source of goals for Spurs.

Son has scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in the Premier League this season.

The former Bayer Leverkusen star also scored three goals and gave one assist in the Europa League.

During the 2019-20 campaign, Son scored 11 goals and gave 10 assists in the league.

Son also scored five goals and gave one assist in the Europa League last season.

There is speculation on the future of Harry Kane.

It will be a massive loss for Spurs if the England international leaves.

But it could also allow Son to play as the main striker.

While Son is not a natural number 9, the way he has started scoring goals and getting into good positions suggests that a good manager could mould into a ‘proper’ striker.
