The South Korean star has been lauded for his impact and professionalism in north London for the past two years by the club's former midfielder
Son Heung-min has arguably outperformed Tottenham team-mate Harry Kane for the past two years, according to Jermaine Jenas, and has helped to prove Pep Guardiola wrong.
Last season, Manchester City manager Guardiola used the phrase the “Harry Kane team” to help explain Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s strength but some disputed his assertion that Spurs are reliant on the England striker.
Kane is nearing a return from a five-week lay-off with an ankle injury, but the form of Son and the resilience of his team-mates has meant that they have kept up their challenge at the top of the Premier League table.
