There is a player recognized as the best by Tottenham captain Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham).
The protagonist is Barcelona's formidable teenager Lamine Yamal (18, Barcelona). Yamal has scored 5 goals in 23 games this season, contributing to Barcelona's lead in La Liga.
Recently, Son Heung-min said in an interview with Spanish media that when asked, “Do you think Yamal is in the top five world wingers?” he replied, “Yes. Of course,” without hesitation.
Son Heung-min acknowledged Yamal, saying, “Yamal is truly an amazing player. It is remarkable that he is doing this well at such a young age. I enjoy watching him. What’s even more surprising is that he is still young and has more potential to develop.”
Receiving recognition from world-class Son Heung-min is an honor for Yamal. Son Heung-min praised him greatly, stating, “In the next few years, Yamal will be at the top. He will be number one.”
At a similar age to Yamal, Son Heung-min was making an impact as a starter in the Bundesliga with Hamburg, showcasing his talent early on. In the 2012-13 season, Son Heung-min scored 12 goals and provided 2 assists for Hamburg, becoming the fourth South Korean player to score double-digit goals in European competitions.
Certainly, compared to Son Heung-min at a similar age, Yamal's rate of growth is much faster.
