Leicester defender James Justin has named Tottenham forward Heung-min Son as the best opponent he has faced in the Premier League.
Son has been in excellent form throughout the campaign and has been a key contributor to pushing Spurs on in the race for a top-four spot.
The South Korean has notched 17 goals so far this term (Transfermarkt), a career-best in the top flight and only trails the 22 recorded by Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
One of Son’s more recent performances produced a clinical hat-trick as Tottenham were able to down a feisty Aston Villa side 4-0 over a week ago.
And Justin, who has matched up against Son on plenty of occasions before, has hailed the movement and finishing ability that make the 29-year-old a force to be reckoned with.
When pressed on naming the best opponent he has come up against, the Foxes man told Fantasy Premier League: “Heung-min Son, definitely.
“Very, very good footballer. His runs in behind and his goal-scoring capabilities are top quality.”

As expected, Son has been one of Tottenham’s most important players this season and has been a big reason why they are still in the top four chase. Even on off days, he has often seemed to come up with a goal contribution which just shows how much of an asset he is to the club.
