Tottenham ace Heung-min Son admits he misses former teammate Christian Eriksen.

Eriksen is now starring with Inter Milan, which could be confirmed Serie A title winners later today.

Son sung the praises of Eriksen and fellow Dane Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg when speaking with TV3: "They are both fantastic players. I miss Christian a lot because he is a great player. I could watch him play all day long. Danes should be very proud of him. I'm jealous because I wish he was South Korean so I could play with him on the national team.

"Pierre has been fantastic this season. He's a fighter and we need those kinds of players. I feel like I have my back covered. I'm a striker, but if I lose the ball, then I know I have backing from behind.

"Pierre is a very important player for us. It was really good to have Christian Eriksen, but Pierre is also a great team player. He is a leader."
