Son Heung-min names Harry Kane as best Tottenham teammate

Son Heung-min has named Harry Kane as his best Tottenham Hotspur teammate despite playing alongside Gareth Bale.

The Tottenham duo enjoyed a brilliant relationship together on the pitch as they broke Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard’s record for most goal combinations.

Son and Kane combined a total of 47 times in the league, which places them 11 ahead of the Chelsea duo and 18 ahead of David Silva and Sergio Aguero.

Son recently congratulated Kane on winning his first trophy as Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga and now, the South Korean forward will be aiming to win his first title with Spurs in the Europa League.

Gareth Bale would have been the other close call with Kane, given his stature in world football and what he has achieved during his career.

The 31-year-old only spent one season playing alongside the Welsh legend, although he did watch him manage 16 goals and three assists in 34 matches.

Son Heung-min names his favourite ever Tottenham match

Son selected Tottenham’s 4-3 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League favourite ever match in a Lilywhite shirt.

Despite losing on the night, Mauricio Pochettino’s team did enough to reach the semi-finals as they won the tie on away goals.

Son netted a brace at the Etihad that evening as the North London club reached the last four of the competition for just the second time in their history.
