Tottenham Hotspur left-back Ryan Sessegnon has hailed Son Heung-min as one of the best footballers in the world.

The South Korean brought his Premier League goal tally to 19 with a double in the 3-1 win over Leicester City on Sunday.

When asked if Son is one of the best in the world, Sessegnon said: "100 per cent. He has been consistent over the last six or seven years, doing it at the top level and the numbers speak for themselves.

"It's hard to know why he is underrated because consistently, season after season, his numbers are there. I think it's because he's such a down-to-earth, normal guy. He's not an arrogant person and he's just very friendly with everyone. That's probably why [he is underrated].

"Of course, [Son and Kane] make it much easier for us. They can do special things on the ball and you saw that again on Sunday. Sonny assisted H again and their combination they've had ever since playing together is unbelievable

"No way [would we swap them]. The two players we have [up front] are world class and we wouldn't swap them for anyone."
