It’s a guarantee that Harry Kane will be a Tottenham Hotspur legend, if he isn’t one already.

Another Tottenham legend Ledley King believes there’s another member of the squad who could reach the same level.

In an interview with 90min, King was talking about Tottenham’s current squad.

King spoke about the England captain, as well as Argentinian defender Cristian Romero.

However, King believes that Son Heung-min could also become a Tottenham legend.

The South Korean has formed an incredible partnership with Kane since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.

Son has had some heroic moments in a Tottenham shirt, and has played the best football of his career for Spurs.

The 30-year-old won the Golden Boot last summer, outscoring his striking partner for the first time.

His goals saw Tottenham leapfrog Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League, which endeared him even more with the Spurs faithful.

King: Son will be a Tottenham legend

Speaking to 90min, King said: “As I said, these players are still working. They’re still playing for the club.

“But when these guys do finish their careers, Sonny will be there in the highest regards of the top group of players that have ever played for the club. There’s no doubt.”

For the likes of Kane and Son to be remembered as all-time greats at Tottenham, they’ll be hoping to win some silverware.

Their best hope might come in one of the domestic cups, with one player potentially already preparing to play in the Carabao Cup.

Even without silverware, it’s unlikely Tottenham will find two attackers as incredible as Kane and Son any time soon.

Son already has 134 goals and 75 assists for Spurs in all competitions.

He’s formed the most lethal partnership in Premier League history with Kane.

After a slow start to the season, Son finally found some form with a hat-trick against Leicester.

If the Son can produce more performances like that, he’s sure to become a Tottenham legend one day.
