Ashley Williams has said that Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min would be “perfect” for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The former Swansea City and Everton central defender believes that Son is world class.
So, what has Ashley Williams said about Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min and Arsenal? Let’s take a look.
Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min would be ‘perfect’ for Arsenal:
Well, Ashley Williams believes that Tottenham Hotspur and South Korea international forward Son Heung-min is world class.
The former Swansea City and Everton central defender has said that all top teams would love to have Son in their squad, including Arsenal.
Arsenal and Tottenham are bitter North London rivals, and the pundit does not think that Son would cross the divide.
The pundit, though, does believe that the 31-year-old forward would be perfect for Arsenal.
Williams said on Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel when asked if Son is world class: “Yeah, for me. Let me think of a team that doesn’t sign him, a top team. Everyone signs him.
“He would do it for your boys (Arsenal). Obviously won’t go from Spurs to Arsenal, but he would be perfect.”
Son Heung-min is world class
In my view, Tottenham Hotspur and South Korea international forward Son Heung-min is world class. I believe that he is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League. James Maddison rates him highly.
Son is not a ‘natural’ number nine, but he has developed and improved his goalscoring skills. With Harry Kane having now gone from Spurs, the South Korea international has established himself as the main source of goals for the North London club.
The 31-year-old has scored nine goals in 15 competitive matches for Spurs this season. He has also given two assists.
I believe that Son would make Arsenal better, although you have to ask whether he would get into the starting lineup when everyone is fit and available. Perhaps the South Korean could replace Gabriel Jesus, who is not a prolific goalscorer.
Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season, and I think that Son will play a big role in that quest.
