Liverpool: Nicol reveals which Spurs players Reds should sign
Heung-min Son is Tottenham’s best player and has been for two years, according to former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas. Son is Spurs’ second top scorer this season, netting 10 times and also providing eight assists. Harry Kane is the club’s top scorer having scored 17 times in all competitions this term.
Jenas did not want to take anything away from Kane, who has won two of the last four Premier League Golden Boots.
However, he says South Korea star Son is more important and is a typical Jose Mourinho player.
“Honestly, I’ve said for a couple of years, I think he’s been Spurs’ best player for a couple of years,” Jenas said on BT Sport.
“Harry Kane’s been unbelievable don’t get me wrong but I think what he brings to the table in terms of the goals, the way he plays, the work rate, he is a complete Jose Mourinho-type player from an attacking point of view.

“Yeah he has [filled in well for Kane],” Ince said.
“You look at the players he’s got there, [Dele] Alli can play in that position, but Son’s the one who is probably more of a natural finisher.
“He can score with left and right foot, he can beat players, he can run into spaces, he can get in behind defences.
“It’s great to have him back because with Kane not playing, that’s a major, major void to fill and I think if someone’s going to fill it, it’s going to be Son.”
