Ledley King has raved about Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min on Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel.

King has said that Son is loved by everyone at Tottenham, and has said that his energy and enthusiasm is contagious.

The 29-year-old South Korea international forward signed a new contract with Spurs only last month.

King said about Son on Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel: “He is a terrific player, a terrific guy to be around.

“His energy and his enthusiasm is contagious around the team. He is loved by everyone.”

Encouraging

King, a Tottenham legend who worked under Jose Mourinho at the North London outfit, knows all the players at the club well and knows the dressing room well.

The Englishman’s comments about Son are very encouraging indeed.

They underline how good Son is and how much his teammates value him.

Son has been brilliant over the years, scoring 70 goals in 197 Premier League games.

The 29-year-old always has a smile on his face and always gives his best on the pitch.

Yes, Harry Kane is arguably the best player for Spurs, but Son’s importance in the team cannot be undermined, especially after last season.

The Tottenham star scored 17 goals and gave 10 assists in the league, and scored three goals and gave one assist in the Europa League last season.

For Tottenham to succeed under head coach Nuno this season, Son has to be on top of his game.
