Sung-yeung Ki says Tottenham's Heung-min Son 'deserves more credit' | OneFootball

Swansea midfielder Sung-yeung Ki says his South Korea team-mate Heung-min Son is under-appreciated in the Premier League.

Son is on course to surpass the 20-goal mark for the second successive season having scored 18 goals in 43 appearances for Tottenham so far this campaign.

Tottenham are set for talks with the 25-year-old over a new contract, who is quickly becoming one of the most effective finishers in English football.

He told reporters ahead of Saturday’s friendly against Northern Ireland: “In my opinion he of course has to get more credit. I don’t say that Harry Kane and Dele Alli are worse than him.

“His performance this season has been amazing. Everyone knows he plays one of the best games and is very consistent in every game and he scores many goals for Spurs which is not easy.

“From last season until now he has shown his quality as a top class player in the Premier League. I don’t say this because he is Asian but I think he must get more credit.”
