Kane vouches for Son
Harry Kane has explained how important Son Heung-min is both on and off the pitch at Tottenham after recently netting his 100th Premier League goal. The South Korea international curled in a tremendous strike on Saturday afternoon to open the scoring in Spurs' 2-1 win over Brighton.
"He's an unbelievable player, and what a goal to do it," he said. "I'm extremely proud of him, we've known each other for a long time now and I’ve been there to see all of his goals.
"Full credit to him. He works so hard behind the scenes, he’s a really good guy and that finish was really, really special. He should be proud, and we’re all proud of him."

Lucas' agent speaks out
Lucas Moura only has six games remaining before his stay at Tottenham officially comes to an end. Speaking to Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, Junior Pedroso, the forward's agent, has indicated that a deal with another European club could potentially come to fruition.
"There is no movement in that direction. We are studying proposals in Europe to choose the best path for Lucas," he said on talk of a move to Brazil, as reported by Sport Witness. Whether he returns to Sao Paulo this summer or not, it seems inevitable that Lucas will one day pull on his first club's shirt once more.
The 30-year-old, who has had his season disrupted by injury, has made 16 appearances in all competitions for the Lilywhites in 2022/23. If he was to stay, he faces an uphill battle to earn a place in the starting lineup with a wealth of talent ahead of him in the pecking order.
Why Arne Slot could snub Spurs...
One Dutch football expert has suggested a family reason why a potential move to Tottenham and the Premier League might have come at the wrong time for Arne Slot. The Feyenoord boss has been linked with a number of vacant managerial posts in the Premier League, including the one at Spurs after Antonio Conte's exit.
"If I were Slot, and Tottenham came along, I would go to Tottenham, but Slot has dropped that a departure would not be very convenient because of his children, who are in secondary school," Kenneth Perez said, translated by Sport Witness. "That also says something about him. Maybe selfish, but if I could go to Tottenham, then we could also find a solution for the children."
