Heung-min Son ‘walks into any team in the world’ and should’ve won Premier League Player of the Season over Kevin De Bruyne
Tottenham's Heung-min Son should've won Premier League Player of the Season over Kevin De Bruyne, according to Gabby Agbonlahor, who adds that the South Korean walks into any team in the world.
De Bruyne was named the division's Player of the Season having led Manchester City to the brink of the title - but the result of the award has divided opinion.

And Agbonlahor is one of those, believing that both Son and Liverpool's Mo Salah should feel hard done that they haven't picked up the prize.
But particularly the Spurs man, who has scored 21 Premier League goals and recorded nine assists in the league season, according to the former Aston Villa man who says he would 'walk into any team in the world'.
“He's playing in a team that's not as good as Manchester City and Liverpool, so it's harder for him to get chances,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT.
“So, I just think what Son has done this season, the goals he’s scored - left-foot screamers, right-foot screamers, he can score any sort of goal.
“I would’ve given it to Son myself, but Kevin De Bruyne has been outstanding as well.
“And Salah, his stats speak for themselves - he's got the most assists this season, his goals as well. You can see the reason why Salah might feel hard done by as well.

He added: “If you put Son in a better team, if he was getting more chances, if Spurs were further up the pitch every game like Manchester City and Liverpool.
"I think Son maybe would have been on 25 or 30 goals this season because his finishing is one of the best in the Premier League.
“He walks into any Premier League team and any team in the world. Son he's outstanding and Spurs are lucky to have him.”
