Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane singles out one team-mate for praise.
Harry Kane has told Tottenham Hotspur’s official website that it’s great to see team-mate Son Hueng-min in such a rich vein of form at the moment.
The 26-year-old is becoming a very big player for Tottenham after opening the scoring in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Everton for what was his 11th goal of the season in all competitions.
Son, a £22 million signing in 2015, hasn’t always had it easy, but this season he is really coming into his own and looks on course to have his best-ever campaign in a white shirt.
The former Bayer Leverkusen man bagged 21 goals overall last term and few would back against him to score 10 more before this season finishes.
Kane went on to score twice against the Toffees and inevitably steal the post-match plaudits, but the Tottenham marksman has reserved praise for his “excellent” team-mate.
“He’s been excellent,” he told the Lilywhites’ official website.
“He’s been doing it all season and that’s what we need, everyone playing well, creating chances, scoring goals and that’s what Sonny does.
“It’s great to see him in this form.”
It’s imperative that Son maintains this level of performance for the rest of the season.
With a last-16 Champions League tie with Juventus on the horizon, Mauricio Pochettino needs all of his players in red-hot form and if Harry Kane has a couple of off-days against the Italian giants then it’s handy to have someone of Son’s ilk ready to take up the goalscoring burden.
