Conte told Football.London about Son: “Sonny every time I had the pleasure to speak about him I can tell only positive things, because we are talking about a world class player.
“He is one of the best players, and I think maybe many people underrated him. Sonny can play in any team in the world. He knows my thoughts about him.
“We are very lucky he stays with us and I’m very lucky to have him in my team. It’s a pleasure when you have a player like him.
“He’s always with a smile and you can see during the training sessions, always a great attitude, great commitment. He is top class, has fantastic quality, right foot, left foot, he runs a lot.
“I think it’s very difficult to ask for something more from your player. For sure we are talking about a world class player, one of the best in the world.”
World class
In our view, Son Heung-min is a world-class player and Tottenham Hotspur are a better team with him in it.
The 30-year-old has developed a lot at Tottenham and is now at the top of his game.
Son has established himself as an important source of goals for Spurs over the years and is one of the best players in the Premier League at the moment.
The South Korean star scored 23 goals and gave seven assists in 35 Premier League matches for Tottenham last season.
Son has scored 93 goals and created 55 big chances in 232 Premier League appearances so far in his career.
For Tottenham to be successful under Conte, Son has to continue to bang in the goals and play his role.
