“He’s not yet WORLD CLASS; he’s simply overhyped by fans and is just on the verge,” a pundit asserts, suggesting that one Spurs star is approaching that elite status but hasn’t fully achieved it.
Heung-min Son has not impressed Ally McCoist enough. As he nears ten years with Tottenham Hotspur, Son has consistently provided goals, assists, and game-changing moments for the club.
He is also a national icon for South Korea, leading his team in major tournaments and on track to break records for appearances and goals for his country.
However, in a recent talkSPORT appearance (08/10/2024 at 7:45 am), McCoist stated that the Spurs captain isn’t quite at the world-class level. When asked about Son’s status, he commented, “The fact of the matter is, not recently, but over his career, he is on the cusp. He is on the cusp. But, no.”
**Ally McCoist is mistaken about Son**
Determining what qualifies as world-class talent can be subjective, but Son’s impressive statistics and longevity certainly warrant the label. Especially during his partnership with Harry Kane, Son was incredibly prolific; together, they formed the most lethal duo in Premier League history with 47 assists for one another.
Moreover, Son has achieved double-digit goal tallies every season since the 2016/17 campaign, demonstrating his consistent performance in the Premier League for Spurs.
**Son still has more to give**
At 32 years old, Son is entering the later stages of his career, but he still has a lot to offer. His speed remains intact, and his finishing ability is still exceptional.
It’s likely we’ll see another two or three years of high-level performances from Son, and once he secures a trophy with Spurs, he will solidify his legacy as a club legend.
