Son Heung Min’s dad demands more from his son, insists the Spurs superstar is not a world class player

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Son Woong-jung, the father of Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min, claimed the South Korean skipper is not 'world class' yet.

The Spurs attacker became the first Asian player to win the Premier League Golden Boot winner with 23 goals in the just-ended 2021-22 campaign.

Despite his individual accolade which was recognized by the South Korean president, Yoon Seok-youl, Son's father is unimpressed by the achievement of the 29-year-old forward.

Son's father argued the Tottenham star would have to leave the north London outfit and further stretch himself by 10 per cent to reach the 'world class' level.
