Tottenham news: Son Heung-min sent Man City message as top four hopes boosted

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has been told he would get into any side in the Premier League – even Liverpool and Manchester City's.

The Spurs ace netted an impressive hat-trick as his side beat Aston Villa 4-0 on Saturday to enhance the club's hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League. And talkSPORT pundit Darren Bent has now said that Son is the best in his position in the entire Premier League.

It comes after Antonio Conte's top four hopes received a boost, with Arsenal legend Ian Wright insisting there's "no way" his team catch Spurs in the table. And former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has been up to his old tricks once again as he gave a frosty response after footage of a brawl between Roma and Bodo/Glimt's coaching staff emerged.

Mourinho's frosty response

Former Spurs manager Jose Mourinho gave a blunt response to questions about a brawl between Roma and Bodo/Glimt's coaching staff last week.

Video footage emerged following the two sides' Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg, which Mourinho's Roma lost 2-1.

Bent thinks that Son would walk into either the Liverpool or Manchester City sides currently vying for the title as he labelled him more consistent than Reds ace Mane.

Top four boost

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes there's "no way" his club can steal a top four place from Tottenham.

The Gunners also have a much worse goal difference and Wright thinks that their struggles up front, coupled with recent injuries, have handed Champions League qualification to Antonio Conte's side.
