Antonio Conte has raved about the way Son Heung-min carries himself, admitting that he has been impressed by the South Korean’s attitude and his commitment to the cause.
Son deservedly won Tottenham’s Player of the Year award last season, with his goals helping the Lilywhites to clinch the final Champions League spot.
The South Korean, who shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, has been extremely consistent since Conte arrived through the gates of Hotspur Way in November.
The 29-year-old had a stellar end to the season and will be hoping to continue from where he left off in the 2022/23 campaign.
Ahead of his first full season in charge of Tottenham Conte admitted that he has not only been impressed by Son’s qualities as a player but also as a person.
The Italian raved about the forward’s attitude behind the scenes, admitting that he always has a smile on his face during training.

Spurs Web Opinion
It is clear that Sonny is loved by everyone at Spurs, which was evident once again by the fact that his teammates were egging him on to win the Golden Boot on the final day of the season.
The love that the 29-year-old has felt at the club is arguably a big reason why he has decided to spend his peak years with Spurs, even though he could have probably gone to any team he wants to.
