Welsh defender Davis joined Tottenham on July 23, 2014, during Tottenham's U.S.-Canada tour, and has been with Tottenham for 10 years. He is the only player currently playing longer than Son Heung-min in the Tottenham squad. Son Heung-min moved from Leverkusen to Tottenham in the summer of 2015, a year after joining Davis.
Tottenham asked Son Heung-min, the godfather and best friend of Davis son Ben, for a 10th anniversary message.
Son Heung-min said "We shared many memories on and off the field. I can do anything for Ben.'
Son Heung-min said, `There is nothing bad to say about Ben. Ben is a family friend and has a warm heart. He is also the smartest person I have ever known. "Our friendship grew stronger over time. There are many close players, but Ben is a special friend among them. I think of him as my family. I have complete faith in Ben. When I need advice because I have a hard time, I will find Ben."
Then "I left Korea when I was 16 years old. If you leave your country at such a young age, you will not have many friends. In that case, Ben is an essential friend. He's a hell of a guy. When someone needs to say something difficult to bring up, he or she is a friend who says something that reminds you directly. When I say something, people are in a position to say 'Right, you're right', but Ben is the one to say 'No, he's not'. It's very impressive."

Son Heung-min said, `He is a perfect professional, a player that everyone respects. It's my role model. He is underrated. (But) Ben always shines on the field and helps the team in a variety of situations. That is his ability. Always playing for the team, as a team player."
Son Heung-min and Davis boarded a flight to Japan side by side on the 23rd. Tottenham will play a friendly match with Vissel Kobe in Tokyo on the 27th and then move to Korea to play two consecutive series of team K-League games in Seoul on the 31st and Coupang Play series with Bayern Munich on the 3rd of next month.
