Former Tottenham midfielder and talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara has claimed that Tottenham skipper Heung-min Son is one of the best players in the world.
Son has been on superb form this season having already scored 7 league goals in 9 games for Spurs. This included a hat-trick against Burnley, a brace against Arsenal and one against Liverpool.
He had a terrific game again on Monday night during their 2-0 win over Fulham. He opened the scoring with a gorgeous curler from the edge of the box before setting up James Maddison for the second.
And O’Hara was full of praise for the South Korea after the game. He claimed thst he could go on to score 30 goals this season given his current form.
He told Sky Sports:
“Son for me is one of the best players in the world. Let’s not get away from the fact he’s a world-class player. He’s got his confidence back, he has his belief back, and I actually think he’s brilliant as a number nine, 30 goals is a lot of goals to score, but why not? He’s on fire.”

TBH Says:
Son has been absolutely fantastic for Spurs and has not let the club feel the absence of Kane at all.
If anything, Spurs are actually playing better than they played with Kane. Of course that’s not to do anything with the England striker’s quality but rather the system Ange has instilled.
We are playing like a team with every single player putting in solid performances. We are top of the league with a two point difference and have the chance to extend the lead to 5 points on Friday.
