Swansea City midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng is up for today's FA Cup showdown with Tottenham's Heung-Min Son.

Son has been a gem for Mauricio Pochettino since joining Tottenham in 2015, hitting 21 goals last season and 18 already this term despite not always being a regular.

Ki, 29, has been good friends since Son got into the national team in 2010.

He told The Sun: “When I was at Celtic, I noticed this Korean guy who was 19 and playing for Hamburg in Germany. He was quick and scoring goals in Europe. That's not normal for a young player from my country. So I was curious about him.

“He then was called up to the national team. When players are called up for the first time, I can always spot if they're nervous or confident. I could see right away he had confidence.

“He's not like a normal Asian player, he is more like a European player. He has those characteristics. He isn't afraid of anything."
