Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has suggested to Football.London that he still does not know Son Heung-min’s stronger foot.
Conte made the comments following Tottenham’s win against Leicester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
South Korea international forward Son scored two goals.
Son scored his first in the 60th minute and his second on 79 minutes.
The £22 million star’s first goal came from a clinical turn and finish, and his second was a wonderful curling effort into the top left-corner.
Tottenham head coach Conte has praised Son, and has suggested that he still does not know the forward’s weaker foot.

Conte told Football.London about Son: “I gave him a big hug because, after an amazing goal, my question was, which is his favourite foot, right or left?
“He scored a fantastic goal, and three minutes before when I spoke with him, I said, ‘Go for five or six minutes and then I have to make a change, and I said to him that when you listened that I wanted to make a change and you decide to score this amazing goal’.
“We are talking about a great player, a fantastic player. But it’s important at the end of the season to celebrate a big achievement with the team. Otherwise, it remains only a personal success only to score these types of goals.”
Important player
In our opinion, Son is one of the best and most important players in the Tottenham squad.
The South Korean has become an important source of goals over the years and regularly produces the goods.
The Tottenham star has scored 19 goals and given seven assists in 31 Premier League appearances so far this season.
The 29-year-old is not a ‘natural striker’, but that he could end up as the top scorer in the Premier League this season shows his quality.
