Son has now admitted the new signings Spurs have brought through the door this summer will keep everyone on their toes, and added that he has already grown close with Richarlison.
When asked about the new faces who have arrived at the club, the South Korean told The Athletic: “Competition is always good. You improve yourself and also your teammates. We can rotate, or we can have a different style of football, or we can have different movements.
“Adding players like Richy is incredible. He’s a quality player so I’m really enjoying that. I’ve been with him only four days but he’s become like a really close friend.”
