The South Korean is inspiring one of the Spurs youngsters.
Tottenham Hotspur youngster Shilow Tracey has spoken about his admiration for first-teamer Heung-min Son this week.
The 18-year-old midfielder was speaking in the Tottenham Hotspur programme at the weekend, as reported by the Hertfordshire Mercury, when he spoke about the talent of the South Korean attacker – admitting he was hoping to learn a thing or two from the player:
“I think he’s very good in all different types of positions – he’s brilliant in attacking midfield and when he plays up front he tries his best to help the team out and get goals as well.

“His work ethic is very important, the goals he scores are often decisive and I think he’s got the best feet in the team with his dribbling.
“I like the way he plays and he’s very versatile because he can dribble in and out and get his shots off anywhere on the pitch. You need to execute things right and have an end product and Sonny does all that.
“Whenever I see him in training he looks very sharp, always scoring goals as usual! He hits the target all the time in training and it’s very good to be able to watch what he does.”

Son started the season in exceptional form and, although his form has tailed off at times, he is clearly a top talent that is finally settling into the Tottenham Hotspur first-team.
Tracey, who joined Spurs from non-league Ebbsfleet in January is currently a member of the club’s Premier League 2 team and Spurs have high hopes he can go on to become a top footballer.

Getting to see the likes of Son in training can only help the teenager improve his game and strive for a similar level of success in the future.
If Son is inspiring the next generation, then that is an important impact from the South Korean international.
Hopefully Tracey can learn enough to become a Tottenham Hotspur first-teamer.
