England's national team Jack Grealish (Man City) has named Son Heung-min as one of the best wingers in modern football history.

Grealish, a big fan of Son Heung-min, expressed his generous affection for Son in a TikTok interview with British media Talk Sports on the 13th (Korea time).

He praised him enthusiastically, but he chose Son Heung-min instead of Diaz in the choice of the "Ideal World Cup" that he had to choose between the two.

"Lewis Diaz, Son Heung-min?When asked ", Grillish shouted "Son Heung-min!" without hesitation.

"Son Heung-min, Frank Ribery?When asked ", he shouted "Son Heung-min!" in just one second.

Grealish said Son Heung-min is better than Bayern Munich legend Frank Ribery as well as Diaz. The boot room wrote 'Son Heung-min is one of the best players to have played in the Premier League for a long time and it is clear that Grealish is a big fan of Son Heung-min.However, he chose another player after hesitation in the final and final selection of his ideal type of World Cup. "Son Heung-min, Eden Hazard?cried "Azar!" in response to the question.

It is interesting that Grealish, who almost became a Tottenham teammate, is a big fan of Son Heung-min. Grealish wore a Manchester City jersey for £100 million after leading the promotion of Aston Villa after going close to Tottenham's contract in 2018. Son Heung-min and Grealish could have been seen working together under Mauricio Pochettino.

This is not the first time Grealish has praised Tottenham captain Son Heung-min. Grealish had praised Son's ability to cross a few years ago, and after facing Son, he also said "Dangerous Player".

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who failed to play in two consecutive Jordan-Iraq matches in the third round of the North Korea-China World Cup in October due to a hamstring injury, is currently rehabilitating from Tottenham. Local media have reported that he may return to the training ground next week and play in the match against West Ham on the 19th.
