BR Football reported on the 25th (Korea time) that one of the biggest attractions for Jed Spence, who joined Tottenham Hotspur, was that he could train with Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min has become a legendary player in the English Premier League (EPL). He has been one of the best wingers in the Premier League for nearly a decade. It's a star player that everyone wants to play with.
The media explained that Spence had an opportunity to further improve his defensive skills while training with Son Heung-min, who has fast feet and explosive speed. Spence is Tottenham's best player this season. In other words, it is argued that training with Son Heung-min had a great impact on Spence's own growth.
Spence recently revealed how Son Heung-min looks on the training ground.
Spence said in a recent media outlet hosted by Rio Ferdinand that `every role people expect from their captains may be different, Son Heung-min is not the typical captain's style of shouting loudly or pushing his team members.' `Son Heung-min is the type of leader who shows by action rather than by words.'

Earlier, Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray also praised Son Heung-min and said "one of the kindest."
Son Heung-min has also been watching Spence's growth closely and has praised his progress.
In December last year, Son said on Tottenham's official channel after the match against Southampton "Spence had a really tough time. I always trained hard, but I didn't get the chance"But that's what football is like. You have to wait until the opportunity comes, and you have to catch it properly when you come. He seized the opportunity perfectly."
Son Heung-min bears a heavy responsibility for the team that has been struggling this season. He seems to be doing his best playing harder than anyone else at the training ground.
For young players who still have a lot to show, Son may be the best example. I don't know how much longer Son Heung-min can play for Tottenham, but for now, it is certain that he is a model for young players and has a positive impact on the entire team.
