Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has now said Heung-min Son does something better than any other player he’s seen.
The England captain enjoyed a night to remember last night when his Bayern Munich side were able to knock Arsenal out of the Champions League.
Harry Kane was able to find the back of the net in the first-leg back in north London but it was Eric Dier who stole the headlines last night.
The 30-year-old centre-back is currently on loan from Spurs but he will be made a permanent Bayern player come the end of the season.
But Kane has now been looking back on some of the players he has played with and come up against over his career.
And when asked to pick certain attributed from those players, he admitted Heung-min Son does something which no other player is able to match.
Harry Kane still has a lot of love for Heung-min Son after leaving Spurs
Losing Kane in the summer has left Ange Postecoglou‘s men with an awful lot of goals to replace.
Fortunately, Spurs’ South Korean captain has been able to return a fair chunk of those goals this season but has certainly missed the service of Kane.
Together, the pair formed the Premier League’s greatest ever partnership as they provided more goal combinations than anyone else

In recent weeks, Kane has had some positive words to say about Son with the England captain providing the South Korean with a celebratory message for his 400 Spurs appearance.
And the kind words have continued this week when Kane was speaking to TV2 Sport as he put together his perfect forward player.
When asked which player he who choose for runs in behind, Kane replied: “Heung-min Son”.
It is also worth noting he also chose current Spurs player James Maddison for ‘cheekiness’ and former Spurs strikers Jermain Defoe and Gary Lineker for ‘finishing’ and ‘fox in the box’, respectively.
What Heung-min Son recently had to say about Harry Kane
It is not just compliments being directed towards the 31-year-old forward with Son also singling Kane out for praise recently.
In response to Kane’s message on Son’s 400 Spurs appearance, the South Korean had some insight to provide on what it was like to play alongside the Spurs record goalscorer.
“Playing with Harry was unbelievable. We’d been training together [for] so long. As soon as he got the ball, he knew where I was and I knew where he was going to pass the ball,” Son said.
“Yeah it was a privilege sharing the changing room, on the pitch and make this record [with him].”
With Richarlison really struggling of late through injury, how Spurs fans would love to see this duo alongside each other again.
