Owen Hargreaves has been singing the praises of Tottenham forward Heung-Min Son this weekend after their 1-0 win over Wolves.

Son didn’t get on the scoresheet but he was instrumental in an improved second half showing from Tottenham as they just managed to get over the line. It took a header from Harry Kane to seal the deal, as Conte’s men continued their unbeaten start to the season.

Of course, it was Kane who got the plaudits for doing the business in front of goal. But according to Hargreaves, Spurs star Son would get into any other team in the league, including Liverpool.

“I think he walks into every team. I don’t think he gets enough credit. He walks into Man City, Liverpool, he walks into everyone’s XI. I don’t know, he goes under the radar. Maybe it’s because they’re not pushing to win the league or the Champions League, but I think he’s a fabulous player,” Hargreaves told Premier League productions.

Son was the standout player for Spurs last season and helped himself to the Premier League top scorer title for the first time in his career. His partnership with Harry Kane has earned rave reviews, with the pair often on hand to assist each other throughout the season.

Some players just have the X-factor and Heung-Min Son is one of those. Hargreaves is right really, in that Son gets into every team in the league.

He’s been exceptional over a number of seasons and while he’s not quite got up and running in terms of goals this season, Sonny has still been a key player in Spurs’ fine start.

Rest assured, if Tottenham have a good season, it will be because Son and Kane have had outstanding individual campaigns.
