​Tottenham winger Son: I was scared to play against Wanyama!

Tottenham winger Heung-min Son has opened up about his first impression of teammate Victory Wanyama.

The pair faced off when Son was playing for Bayer Leverkusen and Wanyama was at Southampton.

"I was really a fan of Victor when he signed because when I was with Leverkusen and I played against Southampton, I saw him for the first time and he was a beast – I was scared to play against him!

"When he signed, everyone knew what he could do from when he played for Southampton and I enjoy watching him play. I think he's done very well for us and he was very important during the season."

"Victor is a really, really good player.

"I'm an offensive player, an attacking player, but when I feel that behind us we have Victor and Mousa Dembele, I feel comfortable."
