Mikey Moore picks the Tottenham player he looked up to the most

The forward has spent time coming through the youth ranks in North London, and it’s fair to say that he’s seen some talented players to learn from.

The South Korean player was the first name he mentioned when asked who he looked up to the most, and perhaps his versatility was something that impressed him too.

Son is currently with LAFC in the MLS, and during his time at Tottenham, he made 454 appearances, scoring 173 goals and registering 101 assists.

Son is a modern-day legend at Tottenham, helping the team triumph in last season’s Europa League final before heading off to the United States.

Moore will head back to Tottenham in the summer and he will hope that he can play a vital role in the club’s rebuilding next season – hopefully in the Premier League.
