Pundit compares ‘incredible’ Son with Giggs after Tottenham win
Dean Saunders that Son Heung-min reminds him of Ryan Giggs due to the way the Tottenham Hotspur star seems to be quicker with the ball than without the ball following his latest display for Antonio Conte’s side.
Mohamed Salah is now the only Premier League player to have scored more goals this season than the South Korean. Son scored twice on Sunday as Tottenham beat West Ham 3-1.
He also played an important role in the opener against the Hammers. His presence led to Kurt Zouma putting the ball into his own net.
What is remarkable is that Son has arguably not been at his best over the last few weeks for Tottenham. And yet, he now has 13 goals under his belt in the top-flight this season.
And of course, his partnership with Harry Kane has now moved clear for being the most lethal in Premier League history.
Saunders made an interesting comparison concerning Son before Jason Cundy went on to describe him as ‘incredible’.
“Son, he reminds me of Ryan Giggs, he’s faster with the ball than without it. When he’s running with it, he seems to run away from people,” .
Cundy replied: “It’s incredible, isn’t it?”
Son not far off best return ever for Tottenham
Son has arguably had better seasons for Tottenham. Last year, he was directly involved in 27 league goals for Spurs.
But remarkably, he is one very good run of form away from making this year his best return yet for the club when it comes to goalscoring.
He scored 17 times last year. So he needs five more in their remaining nine games to eclipse that.
Funnily enough, his brace against West Ham means that he now has five in his last nine in the Premier League.
