Son Heung-min has praised Tottenham Hotspur team-mate Harry Kane.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Son Heung-min has said that he aspires to reach the level of Tottenham Hotspur team-mate Harry Kane after seeing first-hand how “ridiculous” he is in training.
Kane is arguably the best centre-forward in world football at the moment and has netted 34 times in all competitions this season.
The 24-year-old has earned praise for his multi-dimensional game and is capable of scoring a lot of different types of goals.
And Son has told The Daily Mail that he is a joy to watch in training, claiming that he wants to be as dangerous as the sought-after number nine.
He said: “All I do is practise every day, every session, and hope to learn. Look at Harry. I watch him train and he scores from everywhere, it’s ridiculous. I want to be at that level and I have done some OK things.”
Son has indeed performed well in the 2017-18 campaign.
It’s taken a while, but the South Korean attacker is very much a key member of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad and has bagged himself 11 goals in all competitions this season.
The former Bayer Leverkusen forward cost £23 million back in 2015 and although he is starting to prove his worth this season, Son hasn’t always looked like he’d repay the transfer fee.
