Anthony Gordon has now revealed his admiration for Tottenham captain Heung-min Son, who continues to inspire even his rivals.
Tottenham Hotspur fans, in their own right, have every reason to feel frustrated with how this summer’s transfer window has unfolded, as glaring issues within the squad have still not been properly addressed.
Yet, when placed side by side with rivals such as Newcastle United, Tottenham’s business appears to have been more effective, with the Magpies having been forced to navigate a turbulent window littered with setbacks.
Newcastle United have already missed out on targets like Hugo Ekitike, Bryan Mbeumo and James Trafford, while the future of their talismanic forward Alexander Isak now hangs in the balance, as Liverpool circle.
Anthony Gordon praises Tottenham star Heung-min Son
Tottenham and Newcastle United are set to face off on 3 August in what will be the final fixture of the Lilywhites’ pre-season tour of Asia.
Speaking ahead of that encounter, Anthony Gordon opened up on his admiration for Tottenham captain Heung-min Son during an interview with Coupang Play, revealing just how much the South Korean means to him both on and off the pitch.
The Newcastle winger’s admiration for Son goes far back, with Gordon leaving a comment of a goat emoji on one of Son’s social media posts.
When asked about it, Gordon said: “Son is one of my favourite players ever in the Premier League. He plays in my position, so he is a role model for me.
“I also spoke to him a couple of times. He texts me after games. He is a really, really nice guy, so humble, a real role model, a legend in England and in Korea. An amazing guy.”
Spurs forward Heung-min Son attracting transfer interest
Heung-min Son’s age and the natural speculation that comes with it have prompted increased rumours around his long-term future.
MLS side LA FC are reportedly keen on the Spurs talisman, with some sources suggesting a move may be edging closer, although no decision is expected until after Tottenham’s Asian tour concludes.
Son’s contribution to both Tottenham and the Premier League cannot be overstated, and should he part ways with the club this summer, he would leave a void that stretches far beyond the walls of N17.
