'Handscap' Son Heung-min left a warm message for Ben Davies, his 'best friend' who celebrated his 10th anniversary of joining Tottenham.

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."

On the afternoon of the 23rd, British Premier Leaguer Son Heung-min returned home through Incheon International Airport. Son Heung-min, who played for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League (EPL), finished the season by ranking 14th in the power rankings selected by local media with 21 goals and 7 assists this season.

Davis has played 296 EPL games in full-back and center-back positions over the past decade, scoring 10 goals and 19 assists. It is certain to surpass 300 games next season. Son Heung-min said "Ben is consistent on the field. I don't complain, I play hard for the team. "We live for the football. We always talk about football when we have dinner and brunch with his wife and son. He loves football and has never gone downhill as a player. It is very important to maintain a professional posture in this world. This is why Ben has been playing in the EPL for 10 years. It is very difficult" he raised his thumb.

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.
