Ben Davies (31) marks the 10th anniversary of joining Tottenham. Davis is one year younger than Son Heung-min (32), but he is the only player who has been playing for the Tottenham squad longer. He settled in Tottenham on 23 July 2014.
Tottenham celebrated Davis' 10th anniversary on social media. Son Heung-min, who settled in Tottenham in August 2015, a year later, also sent a congratulatory message.
'Captain' Son Heung-min said "We shared a lot of memories on and off the field. I can do anything for Davis"There is nothing bad to say about Davis. He is a family friend and has a warm heart. He is also the smartest person I have ever known."
And "Our friendship grew stronger over time. There are many close players, but Davis is a special friend among them. I think of him as my family. I have every faith in it. When I need advice because I have a hard time, I will find Davis"

Davis played 296 games in the English Premier League (EPL) and scored 10 goals and 19 assists, moving between centre-back and left full-back at Tottenham. It is certain to break through 300 games next season.
Son Heung-min said "David 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 Davis has been playing in the EPL for 10 years. It is very difficult," he stressed.
Son Heung-min said, `He is a perfect professional, a player that everyone respects. It's my role model. He is underrated. Davis always shines on the field and helps the team in a variety of situations. That is his ability. Always for the team, play as a team player," he added.

Davis is also special to Son Heung-min. After Son set a new record for 400 Tottenham appearances in April, he said "I remember someone who was excited to energize his team with his pure passion for football when Son first arrived at Spurs. Son Heung-min stood out right away because he showed us the way he finished the goal with his amazing skills and both feet. Son recalled, "The first year was pretty tough, but he always seemed to have an impact, and he grew and grew over the years."
Regarding Son Heung-min's scoring record, he continued, `All I can say is crazy. It's only consistency. After a tough first year, he mainly played on the wing, scoring 21, 18, 20, 18, 22, 24, 14 and 14 this season. It's a great thing, and I've done it season after season. It may not be noticeable, but it's really great."

Davis finally said "Apart from football, being as famous as Son is sometimes quite a challenge. Life is sometimes hectic. When Son Heung-min arrived at Tottenham, I was 22, and Son Heung-min was 23, so we grew up together. Our lives changed a lot during that time. I became a father last summer. Son Heung-min and Roden were two of the first people to visit after we brought the baby home"Thank you."
Son Heung-min and Davis arrived in 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.
