Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after fan footage of Heung-min Son trying to rally his teammates emerged.
What’s the story?
Well, a supporter at the Emirates Stadium managed to capture the moment just after Son scored Tottenham’s goal in the 3-1 defeat.
The £22m man can be seen waving his arms at his teammates, clapping them while also speaking to some players individually.
That includes Harry Kane, although the England international was walking away from the South Korean and had to be stopped by Son.
In fairness, it looked like he was going over to talk to Craig Pawson.
Nevertheless, it should be Kane – captain of England – doing the motivating, not Son.
It was great to see Tottenham’s No.7 trying his best to rally his teammates, although they shouldn’t really need to be fired up in a north London derby.
Is Heung-min Son the new talisman at Tottenham?
Amid a summer where Kane was giving interviews to Gary Neville and others expressing his desire to leave, Son was thinking differently.
The 29-year-old decided to sign a new four-year contract in July, committing his best years to Spurs despite uncertainty over Kane’s future.
Clearly, Son is loyal to Tottenham, and his start to the campaign suggests he could slowly be taking Kane’s crown in N17.
Son has scored three goals in five Premier League games, securing six points for his side almost single-handedly.
Now, after he was seen motivating his teammates – again single-handedly – you could argue that he’s now Tottenham’s new talisman.
For now, let’s see what the Tottenham fans on Twitter have been saying about the footage…
