Carragher said on Sky Sports Premier League (7:38 pm, December 3, 2023): “You saw Son today. He didn’t stop running. That was a leader, that was a captain.”
Son Heung-min is world class
In my opinion, Son Heung-min is one of the best forwards in the Premier League and is a world-class player. Head coach Ange Postecoglou thinks that he is “quality”.
Son has developed into an important source of goals for Tottenham Hotspur over the years. Pedro Porro rates him highly.
I believe that the forward has become a leader now for Spurs after the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023.
The Tottenham no. 7 has scored nine goals and given two assists in 14 Premier League matches this season.
Son has made 282 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The South Korean star has scored 112 goals and given 54 assists in those games.
