A wholesome moment from Son Heung-min following Tottenham Hotspur’s match against Luton Town on Saturday has gone viral after the forward displayed some genuine class. He’s already recognised as one of the kindest and most respectful players in football, and the moment will only fuel that reputation.
Having just beaten Luton in the Premier League, he came out and conducted an interview with the TNT Sports team. Standing with Peter Crouch, Rio Ferdinand and Lynsey Hipgrave. Son and his Spurs team have been playing exceptionally well this year and currently sit top of the league after a wonderful start to life under Ange Postecoglou. The South Korean is having an incredible season too.
How has Son Heung-min does as Harry Kane’s replacement?
This summer, Spurs icon Harry Kane finally left the club as he joined Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. He’d been the club’s star man for years and left as their all-time leading goal scorer, so his decision to go left a huge hole in the front line. Fans immediately began speculating about who would replace the star and what big striker the club would bring in for him.
Instead, they turned to someone already in the team and moved Son from the wing into a more central role, filling Kane’s position. He’s done an absolutely brilliant job so far as well. The 31-year-old is thriving in his new position and has scored six league goals in his first seven Premier League games this season. Under Postecoglou, Son and his teammates have all taken their game to a whole new level and the future looks very bright under the Australian’s stewardship.
