Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has admitted that he now spends more time with teammate Son Heung-min than with his wife.
Tottenham’s outstanding attacking duo have now become the greatest combination in Premier League history.
Since Tottenham paid £22million to sign Son from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, the pair have been sensational.
When Kane set up Son to score against Leeds United in February, they clinched the record for most goal combinations in Premier League history.
That means the pair have set each other up more than any other Premier League duo, bypassing the previous record 36 by Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
Since then, Son and Kane have added three more to their tally; two against West Ham United and one against Aston Villa.
That’s now 40 goals Son and Kane have combined for at Tottenham and none of the other top five have a chance to advance.
That means Son and Kane should be at the top of this list for a while yet, and may even add to their tally before the end of the season.
With both players now in their late 20’s, Tottenham fans should absolutely savour this connection.
Tottenham certainly need Son and Kane firing in order to earn Champions League football and Antonio Conte knows their importance.
Kane certainly understands it and has now spoken to Canal+ over in France about their connection.
Asked whether Kane’s wife Katie Goodland is jealous of his relationship Son, the Tottenham superstar suggested she may be even if she hasn’t admitted it.
Kane added that he actually spends more time with Son than he does with his wife at the moment, but their strong relationship off the pitch translates to on-field performances.
“Maybe!” said Kane. “She hasn’t said anything but I’m sure she could be. I probably spend more time with Son than what I do with my wife at the moment, to be honest but we have a great relationship off the pitch and I think that shows on the pitch as well,” he added.
