Newcastle United's main striker Anthony Gordon praised Tottenham Hotspur's captain and South Korea's national soccer team captain Son Heung-min.

The British TBR Football reported on the 31st (Korea time) "Anthony Gordon praised a Tottenham Hotspur player"

Gordon played a preseason game against the K League All-Star in Korea on the 30th. The result was a 0-1 Newcastle defeat. Newcastle United are desperately feeling the absence of Alexander Isak. Overall, the team showed out of sync.




Newcastle have a game left against Tottenham. Gordon was very complimentary about Son Heung-min, who he will meet in the next game.

In an interview with Coupang Play, Gordon said, `Son Heung-min is one of my favorite players in the history of the English Premier League (EPL). He's playing in the same position as me, and he's a role model. "I've had a few conversations personally as well. He's a really nice guy. Humble, legend to both England and South Korea."

Son Heung-min is likely to leave Tottenham this summer, with the club also keeping an offer open for him. LAFC (Los Angeles FC) in the U.S. negotiated with Son Heung-min to recruit him, and it is known that Son Heung-min is also seriously considering a transfer to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).

However, the possibility of staying at Tottenham is still heavy. Coach Thomas Frank praised Son Heung-min's training attitude and also said he will play an important role next season.

If Son Heung-min transfers, Tottenham wants to recruit a large striker. Real Madrid's Hodrigo is mentioned as a replacement.

Son Heung-min also plays a big role as a mentor within the team. Tottenham's Matistel also mentioned Son's status and that he is learning every day from it.

Tel, who completely transferred to Tottenham this summer, will have to compete with Son Heung-min next season.

Tell says "I always have a lot of conversations with Son Heung-min. I want to learn and grow every day because I have a lot of experience"He helps me every day. Son Heung-min is a legend, and everyone knows him. I'm really happy to train with him."

Son Heung-min has become a world-class player after playing for Tottenham for 10 years. It came to an end when it won the UEFA Europa League last season. Son Heung-min is likely to remain a legend of the team, although his contract with Tottenham is not far away. Attention is focusing on who will win the showdown between Newcastle and Tottenham, Gordon and Son Heung-min in South Korea on August 3.
