Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino addressed the media today, in the aftermath of his side’s comfortable 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley, and offered words of praise for Heung-min Son, claiming that he expects amazing things from the South Korean, as quoted by Football.London.

Son has been in fine form for Spurs this season, and has already racked up 15 goals and nine assists in 41 appearances all competitions thus far.

The South Korea international joined the Lilywhites from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £18 million, and initially struggled to settle in north London.

Son has now established himself as one of Pochettino’s most important players, though, and the Argentine had high words of praise for the 25-year-old when speaking to reporters after today’s game, as quoted by Football.London:

“I am always positive. Only it’s up to the players to show me their quality. Son is one of the players who you expect amazing things from. A player like him or Harry work hard and that pays back. I’m very pleased for him and the team and it’s helped us.”

The South Korean scored both of Spurs’ goals today, and would have undoubtedly staked a claim to start their huge Champions League clash with Juventus on Wednesday night.

Regardless of who Pochettino chooses to play in midweek, Tottenham will enter the game in fine form, and full of confidence, having not lost a game since December 16th.
