Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has expressed excitement about playing alongside Brennan Johnson, who joined for £47.5million on deadline day.
The pair could face each other on Thursday when Wales hosts South Korea in a friendly match, in Cardiff.
After international duty, the pair are set to line up in the same side for the first time as Spurs seek to build on their promising start under Ange Postecoglou at home to Sheffield United on September 16.
Both Son and Johnson will play together for the first time when Spurs take on Sheffield United at home on September 16.
Son excited to see new talent at Tottenham
“Brennan is another new player. He showed his quality last year at Nottingham Forest and I can’t wait to see him with my eyes”.
Son spoke highly of his new teammate, who will be counted on to partially cover the goals gap created by Harry Kane’s departure this summer.
“He’s a very good player and he has a very good talent. Welcome to Spurs! I can’t wait to play with him.
“It’s only been four games and we’re looking to keep going in a positive way with our new signing Brennan.
“When he comes to Spurs he wants to improve and go to the next step. He will feel the pressure but I can’t wait to have him in our team playing even better fast and attacking football.”
Heung-min Son took over as his nation’s captain in 2019 and led them to the round of 16 in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Following Kane’s departure for Bayern Munich last month, he was given the same responsibility at Spurs
“It’s a great honour and privilege to be captain for club and country,” said Son, who scored a hat-trick in Tottenham’s 5-2 weekend win at Burnley.
“Being a captain is not about words. It’s by actions”.
“I have to prove it and show to my team-mates and the team that I can be the leader of the team on and off the pitch”.
“I have great players around me with my country and at Tottenham. It was great to score at the weekend”.
“But I’m always calm and I never rush when I’m not scoring for a few games because I have 10 players behind me and that’s why we all love football. They help me to become a better person, player and captain.”
“I look at last year and Arsenal were amazing but I see a team that is not less quality than Arsenal in this Spurs side”.
