SHANGHAI: Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino heaped praise Wednesday on Son Heung-min and said he regarded the South Korean superstar as Asia's answer to David Beckham.
"We can see how people love Sonny in Asia, he's an icon. We joked a bit, but I compare him with David Beckham," said Pochettino.The Argentine manager, who will be expected to mount a Premier League title challenge with his side this season, praised the way that Son bounced back from a difficult first year in England.
Pochettino praised Son's"fantastic mentality" and desire to keep improving, saying:"He is a good example for all the fans and people, not only here in Asia but in the whole world. "But after the first season his adaptation was unbelievable and he became a very important player for us."
