“We are talking about world-class player. One of the best players, and maybe many people underrated him because Sonny can play in any team in the world. He knows my thoughts about him. Every time I had the pleasure to speak about him, I can tell only positive things.

We are very lucky he stays with us and I am very lucky to have him in my team. It’s a pleasure to have a player like him. Always with a smile and you can see during training, always a great attitude, great commitment. He is top class, with fantastic quality with right foot and left foot, and he runs a lot. It’s very difficult to ask for more from your player. We are talking about a world-class player, one of the best in the world.”

Conte then went on to thank the fans who greeted them and treated them with great hospitality.

“The welcome we received has been amazing, Thanks for this and also to find Sonny, it was great to see him and give him a big hug. I didn’t see him for one month and it was a lot of time. We are happy to be in Korea and we are enjoying our time here, and it is a pleasure to stay in Sonny’s home. We want to enjoy this time and we are happy.”

Tottenham and Son will be seen next in action on July 16, Saturday taking on the La Liga team Sevilla who could prove a challenge to Tottenham Hotspurs.
