"He did very well at the World Cup," Son said ahead of Spurs' opening fixture at St James' Park. "He was very excited to move to Newcastle, and I'm looking forward to playing against him.

"He can bring a lot of things because he's a very good player. He can change the side, shoot, make a good pass.
