‘I am in love with that guy’ – Jose Mourinho has a lot of love for this Spurs player

Tottenham Hotspur are already flying under Jose Mourinho after just three games in charge of the North London club.

Mourinho has recorded back to back 3-2 victories in the Premier League against West Ham United and Bournemouth, while a 4-2 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League in between.

Spurs have climbed from 14th in the Premier League to 5th since Mourinho took over, as well as qualifying for the Champions League knockout rounds.

A big part of this success has been from certain players putting in consistent high-class performances under the Special One, including Serge Aurier, Dele Alli, and Heung Min Son.

It has been a good week for the latter of the three, as Sonny was named the Asian Player of the Year for the third year in a row.

In his press conference today, Mourinho had plenty of nice words to say about the South Korea, even declaring his love for him.

He said: “I want to congratulate Son, third time in a row Asian player of the year. I am in love with that guy, so I imagine the people that are here with him four or five years….fantastic boy.”
