Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to Sky Sports (18:19, December 23rd) in the aftermath of his side’s superb 6-2 win away at Everton today, and raved about the performance of Heung-Min Son, suggesting that the South Korean has ‘massive quality’.

Spurs were quite simply magnificent against the Toffees today, and they now sit just six points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool heading into Christmas.

Many are tipping Tottenham to push the Reds and Manchester City all the way this term, and if they are to have any chance whatsoever of doing just that, Son will have to carry his magnificent form on into 2019.

The 26-year-old will be missing for three games in January, however, and Pochettino will be hoping that his team do not falter in the South Korean’s absence.

Poch spoke to Sky Sports after his side’s blockbuster display today, and singled out Son for praise, labelling him as ‘unbelievable’ and ‘amazing’:

“I think he has massive quality. He’s doing a fantastic job for the team. His finishing today was unbelievable. The quality was amazing.”

Son has been in excellent form for Tottenham this season, chalking up an impressive eight goals and five assists in 21 appearances in all competitions thus far.

And if the former Bayer Leverkusen forward manages to keep up that kind of attacking output, there is no reason why Spurs can’t end their 10 year wait for a major trophy.
