It’s no secret that Heung-min Son is one of the nicest men in football – very few, if any, Tottenham supporters would dispute that.
Now, the Telegraph have written a detailed feature on the South Korea international, which Spurs fans will love reading.
What’s the story?
Well, in the Telegraph‘s article, there are some lovely anecdotes about the 29-year-old, which reinforce his kindhearted nature.
It is said that Son pays for a top chef to come into Hotspur Way and cook high-end South Korean meals for staff members at the training ground.
The Tottenham No.7 has also sent heartwarming messages to staff members who have left Spurs for new jobs.
In a time where some footballers are egotistical maniacs without a care in the world for anybody other than themselves, it’s nice to hear things like this.
The Telegraph add that Son is always willing to help foreign recruits settle in at Tottenham, as he has done with Cristian Romero.
Clearly, Antonio Conte has, not just a brilliant footballer on his hands, but also a tremendous human being who seems a joy to be around.
Tottenham are lucky to have Heung-min Son
In our view, the footballing world does not give Son enough credit.
Of course, his ability is recognised, but we don’t think people understand just how good the South Korean actually is.
Due to his consistency, Son is arguably one of the top ten footballers on the planet – in our view at least.
So far this season, he has 20 goals in 41 appearances, while also providing nine assists.
It comes after Son – who Pep Guardiola rates very highly – netted 22 goals last season, along with 17 assists.
In the campaign before that, he scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists.
Clearly, the reliable attacker isn’t just a goalscorer, but also a fine creator.
In total, Son has scored 127 goals in 321 games for Tottenham since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, which is an astonishing record.
Hopefully, Conte can help him turn his goalscoring heroics into silverware.
