Son Heung-min is one of Tottenham Hotspur’s most experienced players.
The South Korean is closing in on 10 years at the club, and he has worked with a number of exceptional players over the years.
From clinical finishers like Harry Kane to strong players like Mousa Dembele, Son has seen it all and is a great judge.
Now, the Tottenham captain has revealed a few details about some of his current teammates.
Son Heung-min says Djed Spence is Tottenham’s strongest player
Tottenham signed Djed Spence from Middlesbrough in a £20 million deal in the summer of 2022 (BBC).
The Englishman was viewed as a terrific talent at the time, and Spurs beat several other English clubs for his signature.
However, immediately after Spence signed, Antonio Conte publicly called him a club signing and refused to give him too many opportunities.
Ange Postecoglou didn’t really fancy Spence either and was ready to sell him last summer.
Spence couldn’t get a move then, so he stayed at Tottenham, and that proved to be the best decision of his career so far.
The defender got his opportunity at Spurs after injuries to key players this season, and he has more than made his mark under Postecoglou.
Spence has earned the respect of his teammates too – even his skipper, Son Heung-min.
In a video on the Europa League’s official TikTok account, Son was asked to name the ‘strongest’ Tottenham player.
He replied: “Spence!”
What Son said about some of his other Tottenham teammates
Spence being the strongest Tottenham player is a bit of a surprise. We would’ve guessed that Kevin Danso is way stronger, but Son definitely knows more than us.
The South Korean shared his thoughts about some of his other teammates as well:
