Mourinho: Son Heung-min is showing how good he is season after season
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho on Thursday said that striker Son Heung-min is a world-class player and he urged the media to describe him as such.
The South Korean has hit the ground running this season, scoring seven goals in his first five Premier League matches.
When asked when Son will make the leap to being one of the world's best, Mourinho said that there's nothing more for him to do.
Mourinho joked that the only thing that will contribute to his star's demise would be if he starts misbehaving in his private life.
