Heung-min Son has been in scintillating form for Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.
BBC pundit Lee Dixon has claimed that ‘nobody’ likes to play against Tottenham Hotspur ace Heung-min Son following his recent run of form.
The 26-year-old helped Mauricio Pochttino’s side record a deserved 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in midweek which gave his team a huge advantage in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League encounter.
Since the absence of attacking duo Harry Kane and Dele Alli, Spurs’ versatile forward has stepped up to the plate and delivered the goods for his side.
As a result, former Arsenal man Dixon admitted that Son is a ‘real gem’ of a player as he waxed lyrical about the troubles he can cause opposition defences.
“He must be a dream to play with,” Dixon told BBC Radio 5 Live on 14/02/2019. “He has got that ability to unsettle the players he is playing against.
“Nobody likes to play against him because he runs you into areas as a defender you don’t want to go. He has always got you thinking – you’ve got yourself a real gem.”
Following their win against Dortmund, Tottenham are enjoying a small break from the action with their next league encounter set to take place on February 23 against Burnley.
Nonetheless, in his last 17 matches for the London outfit, Son has scored 14 goals and supplied his teammates with seven assists, further indicating his importance to Pochettino’s setup – he was also on international duty with South Korea during this time.
Over the course of the season, he has played 32 matches in all competitions, where he has found the back of the net on 16 occasions and provding nine assists along the way, according to transfermarkt.
There is no doubt that if Son continues his form then Spurs will progress further in Europe as his performances may result in him picking individual accolades at the end of the campaign.
