Son Heung-min: 'Harry Kane the best player in the world'

Tottenham Hotspur winger Son Heung-min says that Harry Kane is the best player in the world.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Son Heung-min has said that Harry Kane is the best player in the world.

Spurs striker Kane, who is currently sidelined due to injury, has netted 24 Premier League goals, as well as scoring seven times in nine games in the Champions League.

Son, who has added two goals while Kane has been out, told Sky Sports News that the rest of Mauricio Pochettino's squad must push to fill the void left by the England international.

"Harry Kane is, of course, a very important player for England because he's the best player in the world," the South Korean said. "This is football, so sometimes you get injuries, but as Tottenham we need to play without Harry.

"It's very sad but the other players have to be ready. I'm not like Harry, I'm just trying to practice every day, but it's a good opportunity to make something happen.

"I've proved a lot of things while at Tottenham in two and a half years, I've enjoyed it a lot and I'm really happy to be there because they work hard and this is what I want. I've played nearly three years at Tottenham. I've proved a lot of things and I'm just enjoying taking it day-by-day."

Kane is expected to be fit for England's World Cup campaign, which begins in June.
