“It’s very good to play alongside him and he is a really good guy as well.

He went on to praise the attitude and personality of the South Korean:

“He is [a very popular member of the squad]. He is a funny guy, but when he is on the pitch, he is very serious and very straightforward.

Son has scored eight goals and provided four assists in his 24 Premier League appearances this season, forming a lethal front four alongside Eriksen, Kane and Dele Alli.
