Jan Vertonghen has said Heung-min Son is among the best players in the Premier League after the South Korean scored for the ninth time in 11 matches against Borussia Dortmund.
Son opened the scoring as Spurs put one foot in the Champions League last eight with a 3-0 victory over the Bundesliga leaders at Wembley.
"I have played with some great players and against some great players, and Sonny is special," said Vertonghen, who created Son’s goal on Wednesday and then scored the second as Spurs took control of the last 16 tie.
"He is so humble and I think you underestimate that because of the work he puts in.
"Then his quality - outstanding left foot, right foot. He can play striker, left wing, right wing, he can play as a 10, he played as a wing back. He’s an outstanding player. I am not going to say he is at the level of whoever, but he’s one of the best in the Premier League.
“I have seen him stop smiling – I’m not going to say when! But no, he’s a very happy guy. He’s so loved in the dressing room. He gets on with everyone and you can see why, he’s a great player to have around."
