But it’s also how he brings others into play, how he gets involved in the game, and makes wingers better."</p>

WHAT SON HEUNG-MIN SAID

<p>Son <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/miss-him-son-heung-min-harry-kane-fun-times-tottenham-ronaldo/blt02f625ec346bfe1b" target="_blank">hopes that he has not seen the last of Kane</a>, with there a desire on his part to grace the same field again at some point in the future. He added: "We still talk. Obviously, I miss him. I think he’s a fantastic player - he makes wingers look better. I hope that one day, even if it’s just in a charity match, we can play together again."</p>
