“There was no light in the shadow of Harry Kane.”

“In fact, Son Heung-min is peaking when looking at his entire career, not recently,” he said in an interview with British talk sports. “He is at the peak, but not the world class.”
Son has scored two goals in a total of seven games this season. As he has missed three games due to his hamstring injury, he has failed to display his skills in previous years.
Son, however, had 17 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League last season. He has displayed enough performance to be recognized as a world class with 164 goals and 86 assists in 415 matches for Tottenham. His 164 goals is also the fifth highest in Tottenham’s history.
McCoist replied to the question, “Does Son Heung-min belong to the World Class category?” McCoist spent most of his career in Scotland including the Rangers. For Scotland, he has scored 19 goals in 61 matches.
Instead of recognizing Son Heung-min as a world-class player, McCoist picked center back Mickey van der Van as a player with the potential to grow into a world-class at Tottenham.
“Many people consider Van der Van as one of the top five defenders in the Premier League,” the media said, adding, “We are showing more in handling the ball this season.”
In fact, Van der Van is displaying presence not only in defense but also in offense by utilizing his explosive speed. He has already recorded two assists, displaying performance worthy of Ng Postecoglou’s attack tactics.
Son is in his 10th season with Tottenham since joining the club in 2015. He wore the captain’s armband and hopped on the pitch this season as well, showing his skillful game management at important moments. 먹튀검증
However, he was replaced due to thigh pain during a UEFA Europa League match against Karabakh, and was sidelined in three matches, including the Premier League and the Europa League. Son’s injury did not seem so serious, but Tottenham is carefully deciding when he will return.
“McCoist’s claim against Son Heung-min is clearly wrong,” he published an article titled.
Tottenham Hotspur News countered, “Son Heung-min has become the most talented player in Tottenham since Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich last summer. The Korean national team player is a player who has no doubt at all in that he continues to impress on the field wearing the captain’s armband at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.”
“His influence was somewhat underestimated. That may be because he spent most of his career in England under Kane’s shadow. But he has now become a major star under the leadership of Engie Postecoglou,” he added.
