Son Heung-min told he's now ahead of Sadio Mane and would start for any Premier League side

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min was the star of the show on Saturday after scoring a hattrick in his side’s 4-0 defeat of Aston Villa and has been praised for his performance by being told that he would start for every team in the Premier League.

And that includes comfortably slotting into both the Liverpool and Manchester City sides who are currently competing at the very top as they go neck-and-neck for the title, which includes the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.

Yet former Spurs striker Darren Bent believes that the South Korean would fit perfectly into either side, and would even start ahead of Mane under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield. His treble at Villa Park over the weekend took Son’s tally to 17 Premier League goals for the season and Bent feels that his ability on the left hand side would get him into any team.
