Tottenham ace Heung-min Son was likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he was playing for Hamburg SV.
Former HSV teammate Mladen Petric isn't surprised seeing him star with Spurs.
He told the Athletic: "What impressed me early on was that already in his first season he was full of self-confidence. He had so much confidence that it was like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"He doesn't have the same arrogance. Absolutely not, but he always acted with both feet on the ground.
"But when he talked to teammates of the same age, he always said: 'I'm going to be one of the best players in the world'."
