Son Heung-min is now a recognised Tottenham legend, but his abilities were publicly questioned by some staff at the start of the 2015/16 season, according to the Mirror.

Mitchell said in an interview: In my first year at Tottenham, some of my decisions received a lot of criticism. The signing of Son Heung-min was the center of criticism. Players are also people. It takes time to settle down and adapt to the team.
There is such a saying inside and outside that Son Heung-min’s shot is not good. I still remember a Tottenham staff member coming to me to watch training and share the atmosphere. But I said, you are wrong. Look at Son Heung-min’s career with two different clubs. He is a very good finisher. We’ve been watching this for years.Return to Sohu, see more
