Son Heung-min has been named to the Team of the Week by an unlikely source.

"Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has been impressed with the performance of captain Son Heung-min," Spurs Web reported on Wednesday (KST).

Redknapp is a longtime manager in the English Premier League (EPL), having previously managed Tottenham, Portsmouth, and West Ham. As a player, he started at Tottenham's youth ranks and went on to play for West Ham and Bournemouth. Redknapp recently heaped praise on Son Heung-min after watching Tottenham play Aston Villa.

'Son Heung-min is key to Tottenham's Champions League hopes,' SpursWeb said. Redknapp added: "He has had a really good season and has brought defense to Tottenham. The win against Aston Villa was huge, and the Aston Villa defense can't keep up with his pace and movement. We knew he would be able to score in the last minute, he's a really good finisher. Tottenham are now challenging for the fourth spot and the reason they can do that is because they have Son Heung-min."

Indeed, Tottenham are cruising to a fourth-place finish in the league with Son Heung-min leading the league with a whopping 22 attacking points this season. The win over Aston Villa kept the momentum 스포츠토토 going.

Redknapp even named his team of the week. Luis Dias was selected alongside Son up front, while the midfield consisted of Alejandro Garnacho, Declan Rice, Wataru Endo, and Cole Palmer. In the back four, Layan Ayit-Nuri, Micky Vanderpenn, Virgil van Dijk, Marlo Guisto and Jozef Sa in goal.

Son Heung-min spearheaded the team's offense against Villa and scored the game-winning goal. He assisted on Brennan Johnson's second goal of the game and scored the third goal himself to seal the victory. He finished the game with a one-goal, two-assist performance, assisting on teammate Timo Werner's goal just before the end.

After the game, Son stole the spotlight with a thoughtful gesture. As the defeated home team walked off the field, Heung-min joined the Spurs players in thanking the away fans. As he headed to the locker room, he noticed trash on the pitch and didn't hesitate to pick it up and head for the tunnel. 'Fans were stunned by his humble gesture,' British media reported.

Named to the Team of the Week The British public broadcaster BBC announced the English Premier League (EPL) BBC Team of the Week on its official website on Wednesday, and Son Heung-min was named to the list. He was also named to the EPL's weekly best 11. The EPL secretariat said, "Aston Villa couldn't handle Son Heung-min. He showed his class with a goal and two assists," the EPL said.

After dominating the Team of the Week, Son was once again named to the Team of the Week with praise from Redknapp. It will be interesting to see if he can help the team's hopes of a fourth place finish this season.
